- Adds submenus.
- Renamed "Save EXE in the source folder" to "Output EXE to source folder" in Run menu.
- Changed behavior of disabled menu items; instead of closing the menu, do nothing.
By unchecking the new switch in the Options menu, the IDE won't warn and "red-light" every single mistake until you tell it to start compilation with F5.

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.
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.
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.
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.
After using any Quick Navigation method (Search > Goto line, Right-click > Goto SUB/FUNCTION or Goto label, Bookmark navigation, SUB/FUNCTION selection box), a left facing arrow will show right under the File menu, allowing to browse to where you were before navigation.
ALSO:
- "Goto line" dialog box now remembers the last line number that was input.
If a user right-clicks a SUB/FUNCTION name or a label name anywhere in the code, the contextual menu now offers to jump to the line where such procedure/label is defined, providing a quick way to navigate through code. Even if there are multiple identical labels in different procedures, scope is taken into consideration, leading you to the definition that's located inside the current procedure.
- Menu items starting with a tilde ("~") are displayed with COLOR 8 and without hotkeys highlighted. Clicking on them does nothing, but closes the menu.
- Edit menu is now context-aware. Cut, copy and clear are only enabled if there is a selection. Paste is only enabled if _CLIPBOARD$ is not empty.
- Allow the spacebar to work like ENTER when a button has focus.
- Improve textbox behavior: allow selection, delete selection, replace selection when typing.
- Preselect textbox contents if it's preset when dialog is invoked (Save as, Find and Change dialogs)
- Fix: an asterisk sign will be only added to the valid searchable characters in a listbox if the user is explicitly searching for it.
- Show a contextual menu upon right-clicking on the text area. Includes the Edit menu options as well as contextual search and help.
- Add hovering to menus items.
- Adjust case of menu items (CTRL and Ctrl were being used interchangeably without a pattern).
