You have done an amazing job on this!

This is one of the most comprehensive IDEs I have seen in a long time, I am putting it through the motions and I am extremely impressed.

Only thing is it is way tiny (menu text and icons) on my system. Full HD and 125%.

Monstruous and amazing works
I don't know how many time you have take for create this "plane" software ?
But congratulation and thanks for sharing you baby

[AZJIO]

Here are 4 more files you can add to your "_pb.coder" file
_pb_Network._
_pb_World3D._
_pb_XML._
_pb_constants._
Provided you use these features.

I updated the archive. The hotkey window (Alt+A) now also has English names, and if desired, you can rename it using F2 or through the context menu or double-click.

While it appears amazing...
Is there any way to adjust the IDE for larger monitors?

The icons, text, etc. look really small on my 3840 x 2160 monitor.

Egads! I thought it was bad on my 1920x1080. Can't imagine how tiny they must be for you.

I change the font size using WindowsFont. But the font size of the file name on the tabs remains small. I can't do anything about it.

It's not easy to imagine what you would do if you had a Mac…

Anyway I didn't like the cyrillic comments in your code

Thanks,
Piero

Is there a direct download link, or a way to get that download page in English? My screen reader can't handle that language at all, all I hear is a question mark for each character

You are pushing me to create a new tool - a “comment translator”. I often have to translate other people's comments, but it would be easier if I got a list of all the comments line by line, pasted them into the QTranslate program, translated them into my native language with one click, and inserted the lines back into the code using string search and replace.

Is there a direct download link

In the evening, after 12 hours, I will be able to provide a link.

On a Mac (I cannot do like you did on "remove comments") I would do something like this (1st time to collect comments, 2nd time to replace with translations on a new file):

Code: Select all

; (\\"|"(?:\\"|[^"])*"|(\+))|;[\s]*(?<pbcomment>.+)
;                                                                        (?=.*[ЁёА-я]) ; RUS char?
#_PBCOMMENT = ~"(\\\\\"|\"(?:\\\\\"|[^\"])*\"|(\\+))|;[\\s]*(?<pbcomment>(?=.*[ЁёА-я]).+)"
#_PBCN = 0 : CreateRegularExpression(#_PBCN, #_PBCOMMENT)

pbsource$= ~"line1 \"\\\"AZJ;IO\" ; tetяis \n line2 \"я\" ;я\n ; line3 я\n line4 ; pp"
nl = CountString(pbsource$, ~"\n") + 1
For k = 1 To nl
   pbsourceline$ = StringField(pbsource$, k, ~"\n") ; ReadString(#File [, Flags [, Length]])
   
   If ExamineRegularExpression(#_PBCN, pbsourceline$)
      While NextRegularExpressionMatch(#_PBCN)
         pbcm_match$ = RegularExpressionNamedGroup(#_PBCN, "pbcomment") ; <<<=== RTrim?
         if pbcm_match$ ; handle strange unicode lookahead "empty match" cases………
            Debug "Code Line: '" + pbsourceline$ + "'"
            if CountString(pbsourceline$, pbcm_match$) > 1
               Debug ~"****** SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE ******\n" ; multiple replacestring
            Else
               Debug "PureCode: '" + ReplaceString(pbsourceline$, pbcm_match$, "") + "'"
               Debug "Comment: '" + pbcm_match$ + ~"'\n"
            EndIf
         EndIf
      Wend
   EndIf
   
Next

I have already exported the comments.
Do you need to replace comments in PureBasic or Javascript?
