First off, thanks for the escape in ctrl-F.

A few nigglings and annoyances:-

Why does LBW produce blank lines at top of program and after? Very annoying.

Why does cntr-f not remember what one typed in last?

Can you set the 'start from' option in the cntrl-f dialog to default as 'start from top' rather than from current?

I have noticed sometimes that after selecting lines then pressing tab to format them results in a hang. I have noticed this on occassion, but cannot produce it at whim, but when it does happen all programming changes are lost.

Can you extend the number of programs LBW remember under recent files in the file menu to at least 20. Set this value under preferences perhaps.


Can you make it so that it is possible to go to a branch label/sub/function after highlighting a word containing a reference to last mentioned, then after double clicking go to the reference? Also after going to the reference, go back to the original highlighted word by pressing a key? (Cntrl-up) perhaps. (Cntrl-down) could be same as the double click command.


Kind regards,
Mr Brown.

After finding text using cntrl-f and then pressing escape, I have a problem where the cursor is not where the text is highlighted (I then completely lose my place in the program and have to do the cntrl-f again).

Can you make it so LBW saves bookmarks with the code automatically (as a preference).

Can you make LBW have an option to split up subroutines and functions into tabbed separate windows(*) (just a view mode for now will be superb). It will be great for compartalizing code.

Hi there Mr. Brown. Thanks for all of the comments.

Are you using the update from December 13? The blank lines should no longer be inserted at the top.

I cannot change the behavior that adds lines to the bottom. It appears to be part of the Scintilla library.

I'll have a look at the cntrl-F behavior. And I agree that the start-from option should default to "from top."

The navigation features you mention might be tricky to implement. I'll have a look.

The split to which you refer is called function folding, I think, and I haven't been able to make that work properly. Sorry.

As for saving bookmarks, did you know there is a bookmark directive? If you use this in your code on each line you want to bookmark:

'bookmark

bookmarks are remembered and added when the code is loaded. It's a very handy feature. I thought that way was better than maintaining a separate bookmark file for each of your saved source code files.

Thanks.
