[Dev-C++] Wishlist for Dev-C++

[Esa V. <eiv...@bo...>]

Hi,

I hope this is good place to post wishlist :-)

There are couple of nits that annoy me (I use dev-cpp
just as an editor, so this all about that)

* Ablity to make ctrl+tab to work as in most windows apps.
  So that it would change between windows on single press
  and change between more if you keep ctrl pressed and
  press tab many times.
* Ability to choose ctrl+f4 to close tab and alt+f4 to
  close the program

Other nitpicks:

* export keyword is not highlighted, as aren't alternative
  tokens (and,and_eq,bitand,bitor,compl,not,not_eq,or,
  or_eq,xor,xor_eq).
* nor are trigraph sequences recognised, but this is really
  small thing ;-).

(I am sure you will or have fixed the bug with
certain characters beginning the line inside some classes
and stuff, but for that crash I sent an bug report,
it's by far most annoying problem for me atm.)


Regards and thanks for the nice editor,
Esa

Another thing I'd like to see:

support for borland style asm codeblocks.  Dev-C++ doesn't seem to
recognise things like

asm {
}

as real assembly code, therefore it gives errors.

It works for me, for applications, for windows within a MDI is used Ctrl+F6.

You can set it in tools->configure shortcuts

What's that? :-)

Ehm, I wasn't clear.  I want ctrl+tab, release all keys,
ctrl+tab to return same file I was at, afaik that's how
Ms apps work.

I didn't find option for this, maybe someone could englighten me
other dialogs I've missed? :)

Yea, thanks.  Stupid me, didn't occur me that "shortcut" would
be keys and I must have somehow missed the whole dialog while
searching for these.

Sorry for the noise.

Certain characters might be hard or impossible type.  So standard
says that these three-letter combinations mean other characters:

Standard section 2.4, Table 1 - trigraph sequences (modified
by me, because original table didn't copy correctly)
trigraph replacement
??= #
??( [
??< {
??/ \
??) ]
??> }
??’ ^
??! |
??- ~

Sometimes people use these inside complex macros, dunno why's
that exactly.  But if you want to be perfect this is missing :)

The last beta works great, except that it brings up that
"crash" dialog inside complex classes.  This always
happens when I am typing first non-whitespace character
on line.  It works correctly if I paste it or split
previous line, be it one or many characters.  This won't
go away even if I turn code inspection etc away,
highlighting bug?

Also, could you remove "quick" keys or "shortcuts" from
that crash dialog...sometimes I type fast and happen to
press key that closes the application...while I'd like to
continue and save.

Keep the great work up!

My nemesis is the auto indent feature.  For being "smart tabs", they're 
bloody stupid (and I hope I don't offend anyone's feelings). 
 Backspacing on a blank line doesn't skip the cursor through all 
previous tab positions, and I wish it did.  Pressing tab on an empty 
line doesn't move to the previous line's indent.  Both of these things 
should be done, I believe.  Also, if I enter a closing brace ("}") on a 
single line, it'd be nice if that line was automatically moved left one 
indent (or perhaps I should say indented correctly).  I don't know if 
it's on the to do list, but smart tabs are the most annoying thing on my 
list right now.

The other thing is the left/right scrolling.  The editor is not 
agressive enough at scrolling the view window to the left when possible. 
 Too often my cursor is at the end of a long line, and all that is 
showing is one or two characters.  Please move my cursor as far to the 
right as possible (keep it in the right hand 50% of the editor window at 
least) and show me as much of that line as possible.

Also, my editor installed with selected text being black text on a black 
background, and it took me a while to figure out there was an option for 
this, and it wasn't just a hard coded bug. ;)  Sensible defaults please. :)

Peace,
B.
