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 :) Dan Moyer ----- Original Message ----- From: <petelomax at blueyonder.co.uk> Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 9:36 AM Subject: MEditor 2.0.2 release 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 A full featured editor written entirely in Euphoria: Multiple documents, auto completion, automatic backups, run program, automated error processing, file and directory compare, find in files, macro, context sensitive help (built automatically from the sources of the current project), routine and section list, reformat (re-indent) program to find missing end statements, detailed manual, and more.
