Alternative to procedure browser

PB · Post by PB » Tue Nov 18, 2003 2:55 am

The procedure browser is great for quickly jumping to another section of
code, but not when you have dozens of procedures and have to scroll
through the browser to find the entry you want.

Would it be possible to right-click on a procedure call (in code) and have
a menu item pop-up like "Jump to procedure" ? This means I wouldn't
have to use the browser at all, but just right-click the procedure call in
my app to go to it. Shouldn't be too hard to implement, methinks?

(a double-click on the name jumps to the procedure, just like with IncludeFile)

... that's got to be the fastest implementation of a feature request in PB's history

Note: this is not *official* yet. I commited my changes to the CVS, but if the
other guys think this is a bad thing, it might as well be kicked out again.

hey, how about doing the same thing for structures? don't get me carried away!

(euh, dear editor of japbe

are you watching?

)

one of the things that would be nice is a keyboard shortcut to return to the place that the cursor was at that moment, that would make this feature absof*ck*nglutely fantastic...

(whilst doing so, please a keyboard shortcut for this 'doubleclick jump' thingy as well, hint hint, gonna' love this!)

I see only one Problem: What is, when the Procedure/Structure is not in the same file...

First bug report.

Does not work in multiple sources

Post by **Fred** » Tue Nov 18, 2003 6:34 pm

F12 is the VisualC++ shortcut to jump to the declaration, so it could be used in PB too (if anyone doesn't have a better suggestion of course

No Bug. Do you see the ProcedureBrowser display procedures of other sources?
This is an extension to the ProcedureBrowser, so...

Hey, but it shoud be better

We want multiple sources support

blueznl · Post by **blueznl** » Tue Nov 18, 2003 8:23 pm

no, i don't, i'm happy with one source... well... unless an include is opened etc... (got to think on this

)

actually, as long as error reports with include files are wacko di dacko totally off, i keep on hard pasting my own libs in the code, so i don't mind too much it doesn't look in other sources

now if it would look in other sources, that *could* be cool but a little dangerous as well, what if multiple sources have the same name for a struct, for example, but different contents?

for the moment, i settle for one source

unless includes work properly, then i wouldn't mind looking through the includes related to the currently active source, perhaps even loading it into the editor? hmm... and then a key to jump back... hmm hmm hmm

takers?

Thanks for doing that, Freak!

> This is an extension to the ProcedureBrowser

That's why I knew it wouldn't be hard to implement.

Fred, please make this part of the official editor -- it's a BIG timesaver!

The only thing that worries me: if a double-click jumps to the procedure,
how can I then quickly select a procedure name for copying? Normally I'd
just double-click it (to select the name) then hit CTRL+C to copy it...

UPDATE: Never mind -- all I have to do is hold down Shift when doing the
double-click and the editor still selects the text properly. Woohoo!

It should be implemented while holding down 'CTRL' and double click, else you break the word select routine, as PB just mentionned it. It's done like this in several IDE (like IDEA for example)

Bad idea.. I know F12 as "Save As" and i use it so in jaPBe...

I take the key F13 (Shift+F3), because F3=Find Next and F13=Find "Declaration".

Also double-Click with CTRL is a good idea...

blueznl · Post by **blueznl** » Wed Nov 19, 2003 2:56 pm

F13? now *that* is a bad idea, many keyboards don't have an F13

some laptops stop even at F10 (!)

i see three different functions...

- jump to struct or proc declaration
- mark jumppoint
- jump back to jumppoint

i don't know what function keys are currently in use... care to provide a list so i can make an educated suggestion?

When you want to try: New version of jaPBe...

CTRL+Click on Procedure/Constant/Structures will start search for the declaration (on all open SourceCodes). (same with Shift+F3=F13)

When you hit Strg+F3, you jump back to the old line...
