Uses _PALETTECOLOR to change the background of the IDE to a darker shade while external compilation is taking place, to give a sense of temporary unavailability.
Also:
- Improved messagebox (allows multiline messages with CHR$(10) terminated lines.
- Fixed a minor bug that could be triggered by right-clicking a selection that contained only sigils.
Upon hovering the Back button right below the menu bar, the next QuickNav location will be shown as "back to line ##".
Also:
- Fix label color in the "Google Android" dialog.
- Fix a bug that could occur when invoking the contextual menu with an empty selection.
- Relocate Undo/Redo to the top of the Edit menu.
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.
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.
Since _SCREENHIDE doesn't currently work on Linux, alterations were made
to the auto-position routine to keep the IDE from storing screen
positions when minimized and closed that would make it reopen off-screen
and impossible to move/position.
When two 'Go to...' are shown (when label and procedure share the same name), the item that goes to procedure will have G highlighted and the item that goes to a label will have L highlighted.
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.
