Re: MEditor 2.0.2 release
Pete,
Looks interesting!
1. Why not word-wrap? Can't see the end of many lines, not pleasant to
have to hit [end] to see all of longer lines. (had to use WordPad to read
the manual comfortably.)
2. If the F1 Help-Context/Keyboard screen shows anything after "Help: F1
this screen", I can't see it 'cause I can't see the bottom of that modal
window (no scroll);
3. Why make it so that window can't be closed except by [esc] key? If
important to keep it that way, probably should have "[esc] to close" at
beginning?
4. The "Quick Jump" window is too narrow (at least on my system) to see all
of some entries, & un-resizeable.
5. Since you're showing the MEditor manual via the MEditor, it should auto
turn off syntax coloring (& then back to whatever it was if tab to other
file).
6. "CopyAppend" is WONDERFUL!!!!
7. The "QuickJump" is so useful, it should maybe be on a toolbar?
8. The "find" should maybe work across any includes included in a file being
edited? That way if user is reading code & wonders "what's this routine
do", & searches for it, & it's in an include, it's would be found.
9. Maybe "Find" in a toolbar too?
All for now :)

This is pretty much the final version, anything else will likely be
just a small bolt-on.
Rob, can you update the archive, I've written a new description for
you at the end.
New features 13/11/02:
Context sensitive help for win32lib routines and locally defined
procedures, functions, and types. Shows parameters, comments, and
allows direct jump to the code.
You should use the new 'Parse for Context Sensitive Help' option on
the Tools menu first; preferably when your "main.exw" is open &
topmost. This creates the files "glocals.exh" and "win32lib.exh".
I recommend using a fully-commented win32lib.ew.
Two additional colours added to syntax highlighting.
Reformat(re-indent) function added to Tool menu.
Several screen display problems addressed.
Mouse wheel support should now work (not that I have one to test it
with)
Shift-left and shift-right now recognise numbers as works.
Shift-left mouse click now extends selection.
Enjoy!
Pete
