----- Original Message ----- Adding tags support would be very nice. However I don't think that dynamically maintaining them is necessary, at least initially. Right now I use compiler generated browse info and I have no trouble with it being updated only at compile time. If you support tags, I will add "ctags" to my make files and be happy. Actually, the more I think about this, the more I like the idea. I think it should be a priority, right after X support!
I feel the same way! My initial plan (before learning about ctags) was for me to program the symbol detection in the editor. Now looking at the "tags" file I see it happening soon as I will use an of-the-shelf tool. I can even do function hints as you open the bracket to type the parameters. It is easily doable within the editor infrastructure we have now. A agree that for the "tags" file, it is perfectly reasonable to be regenared upon project rebuild, it will work fine.
There should be a way to specify the palette from the INI file.
I can easily add this option in the INI file and later add it to the Options menu. We need to look at this in details.
The reason I am thinking about it is better fonts and colors. Also mouse support would be nice, as would native menus and dialog boxes. Using separate fonts for syntax highlighting is also desirable. I think that X and Win32 GUI support should go hand in hand.
Look, mouse support needs some fundamental changes in the editor. You understand that it is not simply a matter of adding this to the user interface libraries. Otherwise, I agree that the improvements you suggest make sense. And using cursive font to highlight the comments will be really great.
This sucks. Why didn't you use yahoo groups anyway?
I have just fixed that. There are tons of options, I needed some time to tune everything up according to our taste. I think Mailman is a good solution for mailing lists.
By the way I'm slightly dissapointed from yahoogroups. I receive the mails with 2-3 or 4 days delay. I wrote to usa.net and they replied that this is a known problem with yahoo.
