PureBasic Forums - English

One thing I really miss in the JaPBe IDE is [F1] help on any procedure name. It gave a list showing the procedure line number itself and each line number with a call to that procedure no matter where you were in the file. Then just double click on any item in the popup list would take you to that line. Really speeds up navigation when editing a large file. Looks like this:

NEVERMIND THE ABOVE if it were possible to get this on the [F1] key instead: viewtopic.php?t=85837
That would be MUCH cooler and more useful!

ITAKE IT ALL BACK. THAT "PB Browser" IS NOT WORKING AS ADVERTISED IN THE VIDEO. TRIED IT AND I HATE IT.
My original request would be perfect. Like this: https://ibb.co/KCNbCtb

The JaPBe IDE was not created by and is not maintained by Fanataisie software.

He knows that. He's asking for that feature to become part of PureBasic's IDE.

He wrote that he is missing it “in the JaPBe IDE”.

Okay, but I take that as asking for it in PureBasic.

Yes! That is exactly correct.
Please pardon my English. I was born and raised here in the US so I can only offer best I can do with what I've been taught. I thought I made myself clear in my OP. Uh. BarryG gets it. Never said it was ever in the native pureBasic IDE, or was removed from it. I miss the feature from my experience using the JaPBe IDE and would like that feature brought into the PureBasic IDE. Clear enough?

Maybe just click on the image link in my OP and tell us how you feel, that it is a terrible idea not even worth discussing. Or is it you feel bantering over use of verbiage is more useful to everyone? Why all the hate?

That was a misunderstanding, obviously. No need to attack me ...

They say a picture is worth 1000 words so I didn't think a full essay on the concept would be necessary. My bad. I could have been more clear, now that you mention it.

I used Find in file (Alt+F) by steps:
1) DoubleClick on Procedure
2) Press Alt+F and select directory
It is remembered for subsequent calls
3) Got List with procedures and DoubleClick moves to code line
Very simple, my star friend

P.S. sometimes I add ( at the end of procedure to find accurately

UPD: I forgot about Zapman's tool, may be it can do it better

I must be doing something wrong. I see no "directory" listed to click on.

This looks like a super fantastic tool. I'll try it out if its still available.
THANKS for the tip Sergey!!!!

Oh, I set hotkey for command Find in Files (Alt + F) in IDE Settings - Hotkeys
By default, you must press Ctrl+Shift+F
