If there was one thing... |

Matthew Jones | If there was one thing you'd really like in EWB, that would make it really better
for you, what would it be? As a user, the thing I want is better navigation, but the one thing that would have a big impact is being able to search for the current selection. At the moment, I find I often find I want to go to the location of a function or reference, so I need to search for it. The easiest way is to copy the selection to the clipboard with Ctrl-C, then Ctrl-F for find, then Ctrl-V to paste it. I then have to move to the top, and search. Now, this works, but it would be so much better without the copy so that I can use the clipboard for better things. I also often type "ddd;" in my code, as that causes a compile fail, and allows me to jump back to where I was. 8-) Anyway, I'd be interested to know what others think, perhaps we can give Tim some suggestions on how to make EWB much better beyond the big features. /Matthew Jones/ |

Matthew Jones | > Dare I say...code completion?
Well, I too would love that, but as you say it would be a big task. I was sort of thinking of small things, but I have to say that I'd forgo my wish for code completion. 8-) /Matthew Jones/ |

It'd be nice but I have much more realistic expectations. I honestly think that if I had one suggestion it would be for less limited styling options. The theme editor is great, but creating a new theme (from scratch at least) is a heavy task to surmount. I've had some success altering existing themes, however. This would actually be a great first avenue for us users to begin contributing the community by creating some custom themes and sharing them as a few folks have done already. Then again, I think I speak for us all when I say, "If only there were more hours in the day..." |

Steve Gill | Code completion would be number 1 on my list. A drop down calendar component, a navigation bar component for moving between pages in an application (like on a website), and a tab control would be on my wish list too. I agree that an easier way to create themes would be great.

>for you, what would it be? As a user, the thing I want is better navigation, but Yes indeed. I don't like to touch the mouse. The following keyboard short cut I miss most: Ctrl-F4: To close one Tab Ctrl-Shift-C: for class completion Ctrl-Shift-UP / Ctrl-Shift-DOWN: to navigate between definition and implementation. I think, this one comes from GExperts. Ctrl-F12: Works, but I would like to see the library units and incremental search for unit name. Ctrl-T: Should delete like in Delphi, only after the cursor, not before the cursor. Ctrl-Left / Ctrl-Right: Doesn't stop at line ends (like Delphi) cu Christian |

Christian Kaufmann | Shame on me. I just installed the new build and only these are not
done yet: >Ctrl-Shift-C: for class completion >Ctrl-F12: incremental search for unit name. >Ctrl-T: Should delete like in Delphi, only after the cursor, not >before the cursor. >Ctrl-Left / Ctrl-Right: Doesn't stop at line ends (like Delphi) Btw: Great work the new build. Thanks Tim! cu Christian |

Matthew Jones | > Ctrl-Left / Ctrl-Right: Doesn't stop at line ends (like Delphi)
Funny, but the Ctrl-Left non-standard behaviour would be good to fix. It always seems to go one "word" too far initially. My muscle memory is used to doing Ctrl-Left and immediately Ctrl-Right... /Matthew Jones/ |

Have a look down the change history to see if any relate to your use. It sounds to me like either you have some code that is interpreted differently - I find even a missing semi-colon can cause an "major" error sometimes - but also that events are correct. An incorrect event, like it doesn't exist, usually triggers this line 1 error. /Matthew Jones/ |
