PureBasic Forums - English

When I place my cursor on an existing PureBasic Constant, Structure or Interface in my program and I press the F1 key, the IDE should respond by opening the Structure Viewer Tool at the appropriate location, so that I can see the values... much in the same way the Windows API now operates e.g. "CopyFile_"

Because of the time-delay (many constants, etc) when starting the Structure Viewer Tool, perhaps it could also be set up to run in the background?

When I press Alt+S on a structure name, the Structure Viewer opens to it.

Yes, that's true, but it only opens the program. It does not go to the desired Constant or Structure location.
Besides I like F1 being the help key.

It does here, as PB said, for Structures and Interfaces. I'm on Windows but I seem to recall it does it on Linux too.

Not much to be said about a constant though, but indeed they are there...so... maybe it should jump to them too.

It does for Structures.
