IDE suggestions / editor questions

[madscijr]

Here's what you'd want to tweak and change in the ide_methods.bas:

Code: (Select All)

        IF KCTRL AND KB = _KEY_F3 THEN
            IF IdeSystem = 3 THEN IdeSystem = 1
            GOTO idefindjmp
        END IF

        IF KALT AND KB = _KEY_F3 THEN
            IF IdeSystem = 3 THEN IdeSystem = 1
            GOTO idefindchangejmp
        END IF

I assumed QB64PE was made in C... it's made in QB64PE? 
That's awesome... In that case I just might go in and play with it. 
Thanks for explaining where to make the change! 

(I still think adding an options screen would be a good idea. )


PS While we're at it, can you maybe point out where in the code one would add that check to see if the program was modified outside the editor, and if so, reload it? 

Thanks again

Everyone knows that ctrl-h is backspace, and has been since the beginning of time.  The universe might implode if you change this.

you could consult with gnome who apparently didn't care about other standards.  even less about user's tastes which are like languages and dialects of the world.

Haha! CTRL+H opens Search/Replace in Notepad++, Word, and VS.code.

and in gedit and anything derrived from it.  also in geany, which is also gtk-based.

Steve's suggestion for editing the source worked - 
CTRL+H now opens search/replace! 

Now onto the bigger mods:

1. Monitor the file size + modified date, if it's changed outside the editor, notify the user and yes/no prompt to refresh from disk. Filesize is easy to get, but for modifed date/time Steve recommended using shell wmic where "name='{file}'" get LastModified /VALUE > temp.txt threw a file not found error, even when I include the full path for the temp file..,
   
2. Don't move the insertion point when user presses Page Up/Down or scrolls... ?!? No idea about that one!

I made a post here on the forum relating to a new IDE I'm making for some weeks now, you might find it interesting:
