IDE for Windows like the official one? - Ikerkaz - 02-14-2023

Hello to everyone.

It's just an idea. Would it be possible to build an IDE with auto tabbing and syntax checking, just like the official IDE but for Windows? 
I'm not quite convinced by the current text-mode IDE, and Notepad++ doesn't have error checking and auto tabbing. Thanks and sorry for the question, I understand that the current IDE already has a lot of work done. I would not want to belittle the work of the creators.

What do you feel the current IDE needs? Perhaps the changes/additions you are looking for could be achieved in the current IDE.

No error checking but Notepad has automatic "tabbing". The bracketing is also automatically as you have set it.

I prefer the windows interface, specially the screen font rendering.
I would like to use a TTF font, and in the actual IDE if I use one it is pixelated.

I have not encountered a pixelation problem when using a custom font. I use a custom font in my IDE and the picture below is the result I get. I also have the display settings dialog box open to show my settings:

I don't understand... I tried to use "consola.ttf" and this is my screen now:

Which version of QB64 are you using and which operating system? I remember seeing something similar to your screen in earlier versions. I believe I used to run into this issue when running the IDE inside of VMs too.

One thing to keep in mine when loading fonts -- they don't always render characters the same.  Consola's pipe character "|" may not render fully to the top or bottom of a line, giving that gap that you're seeing when they're stacked one on top of the other.

The above screenshot is taken from Word, and it shows that same "pixelated" gaps in the characters.

Here is a copy of my config file. Place it into your "internal" folder within your QB64 folder. Rename your old config file first so you don't overwrite it. If this config works for you then it must be something in your settings causing this. If you get the same pixelated result then perhaps the version of QB64 you are using.

Note: I had to zip the file before I could attach it here. The forum software kept rejecting it in its original form.

It's the font itself that he's using.  That's how that character renders.  Wink
