[IDE] Why i don't use PB editor

Post by Le Soldat Inconnu »

Hi,

I use jaPBe because in PB editor, i need one function not available.

PB editor is really nice, it progress a lot. But :

In jaPBe, when i write variable "CouCou", if i write again my variable like this : "coucou", jaPBe automatically rename variable in "CouCou". It's very useful to always have the same variable syntax in all source code.
I can be very great to have this function in PB editor.


After, i have minor request about IDE text coloring :
- To have color for user procedure, and another color for PB procedure and user libraries procedure
- To have specific color for debugger keyword
- to add comment title like " ;- Your comment title" with a specific color


Thanks :D

If you use autofill, then this feature IS in the pb ide.

...but yes, the IDE is lacking a LOT of features found in basic IDE's.

Hi,

+1
jaPBe automatically rename variable in "CouCou"
I miss this "Auto-Case" for variables, structures and procedure-names, too. This would be very great to have. I do not allways use the autofill feature (especially for shorter names).

The PureBasic editor does that, if you press Tab to auto-complete it.

You can add custom keywords to the PureBasic editor, with their own specific color. All my debug keywords (Debug, CallDebugger, and so on) are all red in my sources.
Microsoft Visual Basic only lasted 7 short years: 1991 to 1998.

for Short variable, you don't use auto-completion
or if i modify one variable (like Change variable "CouBau" in "Coucou"), you don't have auto-completion, so you don't have "auto-case" for variable.

Thanks

There are only few (and simple) thing I would like to add to the IDE, but there's a big potential for improvements in speed! I see day by day, that even cursor movement (especially in larger sources) text is slow :(

Some weeks ago, I had to do some changes in a very old source which has been written in another language which has it's own IDE: when loading the file into that IDE I was astonished how fast everything worked there :shock:

Like what? I'm curious.

Well, I've got 11 things listed here:

...and I think the most recent update gave us ONE of those.

Auto formatting possibility would be also very nice.

I am in favor of Auto indent and matching the case of names already present in the code.
