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.
External libraries can now sit in the same folder as your source file without the need to specify a full path. You can use .libraryname or ./libraryname with DECLARE LIBRARY statement blocks.
(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.
