Re: [chuck-users] two gui wishes for miniAudicle

Atte, Welcome back--great ideas. Both of these seem pretty straightforward implementation-wise, so Ill look into getting them in the next version. Kassen, see comments below-- On Jun 7, 2007, at 5:34 AM, Kassen wrote:

I have two minor requests for the mini:

1) Make the char position avaliable somewhere,

Agreed! That would be very usefull.

Friendly reminder; there is still a bug that makes the character that's supposedly offensive increment in the error report after re-trying to run the same code which already got a error (for example because you're stuborn, drunk or suspect you hit the wrong hotkey first time'round).

Yeah, I feel like this must be a not too difficult fix.

For bonus points; highlight the offending character when code fails to run.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

...

2) keyboard shortcuts for switching between tabs in the editor.

Would be very usefull indeed. Helpfull note for Mac native developers; in Windows the standard way of doing this is "Ctrl + Tab" to cycle forward and the same plus shift to cycle back

Also; something I thought of myself a while ago. I frequently have the situation where I type things "from the inside towards the outside" with regard to brackets. I might write a inner loop first, then add another around it or write some statement to later place this inside of the brackets of a function-call.

What I think might be a nice time-saver would be highlighting some bit if text,then hitting "[", "(" or "{" and making the mini enclose that bit of text in that kind of bracket.

This might need some thought/debate because it's definately non-standard. My resoning is that the moment when you need this are exactly the moment where you are mentally jugeling a relatively large amount of things and anything that breaks the flow of thought at that point is likely to lead to mistakes.

This is a pretty interesting idea. Although it does seem a little non-standard, I feel like apps like Eclipse have similar functionality. Maybe like Ctrl [ ( or {, in addition to my new favorite keyboard shortcut, Ctrl / which comments out the selected text. spencer
