Version 1.1 color schemes contained only 6 colors. This patch allows users to maintain their existing schemes while adding keyword and number highlight colors to them. Also:
- Invalid schemes are now just skipped, instead of destroyed.
- Scheme selection arrows and "Save"/"Erase" buttons are more visible/distinguishable between active/hovered/inactive states.
- Confirmation dialog before erasing user schemes.
Upon attempting to load a binary file, the IDE will detect that the file type is a QuickBASIC 4.5 binary file and offer to convert it to plain text using qarnos's QB45BIN utility.
- 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.
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.
Block indentation is now allowed even with auto-indentation is on. A bit useless at first, as the IDE will override any custom indentation attempt while ideautoindent is on, but at least now TAB doesn't inadvertedly delete selection contents anymore.
Expand cursor behavior to work even when auto layout/indentation are active, so that edition feels more natural.
Also:
- Improved cursor behavior when using backspace to collapse a line into the previous one (check out code comments for easier understanding).
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.
