- Disable resizing when the help system is open and when dialogs are displayed.
- Minor fix to multi-highlighting to also allow it to hightlight instances of the same text seleted in the current line.
When a a single-line selection is made, every instance of the same "word" on the current screen gets highlighted. Can be disabled in Options->IDE colors.
- Fetch an image from the clipboard with handle& = _CLIPBOARDIMAGE
- If there isn't an image in the clipboard, handle& will be -1.
- Copy a valid image to the clipboard (All screen modes, except 0) with _CLIPBOARDIMAGE = handle&
A line starting with a TAB character and an ELSE clause would be incorrectly regarded as having a syntax error when compiling via command line interface. This fixes that issue.
Change to mem.TYPE from LONG variable type to OFFSET. This prevents
4-bytes padding from throwing off values for mem.ELEMENTSIZE and
mem.IMAGE on 64-bit systems.
Patch should work on Mac, Linux, and Windows; both 32-bit and 64-bit
versions, giving the correct results for mem.ELEMENTSIZE and mem.IMAGE
from now on.
Also:
- Revamp _ICON so it'll use the embed icon if it's called without parameters. The default QB64 icon is still used otherwise.
- Fix "Creating .EXE..." being printed in the wrong coordinates (IDE)
- Fix the new error message (when Debug is <> 0) so it'll show properly when compiling with -x.
When the cursor is on a an open "(" or closing ")" bracket, the matching pair, to the left or right, will be highlighted (as seen in modern IDEs, like https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/zainnab/2010/09/07/automatic-delimiter-highlighting/)
Also:
- Overall visual adjustments.
- Improved IDE Colors dialog (Options menu), which includes an option to disable bracket highlighting.
- Adds Ctrl+S as a shortcut for File->Save.
- Displays an * on the filename in the title bar below the menu bar when the source has been edited.
- Fixes an old bug that would color strings incorrectly when the source view was scrolled to the right.
- Enables block indent functionality in the Edit menu even when autoindent is on.
- Allows the View SUBs dialog (F2) to be invoked while focus is on the quick search bar.
- Add -e for compiling with OPTION _EXPLICIT activated from the command line - even if the source file doesn't have the directive.
- Add -o for specifying a different output executable file name.
- More flexible syntax, as switches can come after the file name, making the following acceptable: qb64 filename.bas -x -e -o myprog.exe
Upon entering any _RGB statement, the IDE will offer to launch the mixer dialog, which can be done by hitting Shift+ENTER. Right-clicking existing statements allows triggering the mixer dialog from the contextual menu.
(Windows only for now)
When active, this new setting will instruct the compiler to save the .EXE in the same folder as the source file. If the current program is not yet saved, the .EXE is placed in the same folder as QB64.EXE, as usual.
Also:
- When "Make EXE only (F11)" is used, the status area will show "Location: " and a link to the folder where the .EXE was saved. Clicking it launches Windows Explorer.
When auto indent is turned off in Options->Code Layout, hitting ENTER to create a new line will cause the cursor to be aligned with the previous line start, making it easier to manually indent code.
Also:
- Hitting backspace when there's no text before the cursor will also cause it to jump back following the tab spacing set in the Code Layout dialog.
The setting to place the cursor after the pasted contents is now observed in textboxes (dialog boxes) and also in the quick search field.
Also:
- Textboxes are now always selected upon receiving focus in dialog boxes, in order to mimic modern OS's behavior.
The only indication that the program was being compiled was the "..." on the status area. Now, if you hit F5 (or F11) and your program is still being compiled to C++, you will see a progress indicator on the bottom status line.
Also:
- Display "Start typing to search for text in this help page" upon invoking the help system (the search functionality is already built-in).
Default behavior (which mimics Qbasic) is to keep the cursor in place even after pasting from the clipboard. This new option alters such behavior to act as modern systems, placing the cursor after the pasted content.
Also:
- Add visual indication that mouse buttons have been swapped (Options menu);
- Allows opening menus with a right-click (in case you forget you swapped mouse buttons);
- Minor tweaks to Code layout dialog box.
Previously, upon clicking the Quick Navigation button, the IDE could accidentally select all lines between the current and the destination line. Such behaviour has been fixed.
$ELSEIF FLAG THEN was being turned into $ELSEIF IF FLAG THEN THEN when a precompiler condition had already been met in an $IF block before the current $ELSEIF.
