Plugin request/suggestion...

[cgriffin]

Here is a request someone so inclined. (John?) This should be, in developmental descriptions, similar to the Config editor--at least the minimum implementation could use it as a base.

I got this idea after playing with my old CH Basic compiler, which has a dialog box for editing every command. That really helps newbies, because the dialog box won't allow syntax errors. But that's another request.

Hi, its great to see you visiting our forum. Why not try Proton Compiler for FREE? Download the FREE version of Proton Compiler, Its called Amicus18 and its available from HERE Already using proton Compiler??? Get rid of these pesky messages... get LICENSED USER STATUS

This request could help everybody, not just newbies. How about a Variable Editor, with several features. First, the requirement to type "DIM x As Byte" for every single var is quite tedious. I really miss the multi-variable declarations of C! So, a plugin with these features might be helpful...

1. A "quick add" button so you only type the name, and checkbox the type. Added bonus: a check-box to add any one of a list of prefixes to the new variable name! (i.e. w_ISR_VariableName, or bit_, etc.) The ability to edit these would be awesome! I almost always precede my variable names with the size (w for Words), and put in ISR when it's modified in an interrupt.
2. Sort all variables by name, type, or memory location.
3. Display a column for name, type, location, and comments following the declaration
4. Reassign the locations, etc.
5. Low on the priority list... List "commented out" variables?

Thanks in advance!

Not exactly what you were looking for, but here's something I was experimenting with, it's not a plugin, use at your own risk.
And does have problems with the ";" comment.

Type a letter and press Control + Space for completion proposal.
Drag and drop the code blocks.

You could copy and paste into the IDE.

Very interesting, Dave, but there seems to be some minor lag in it's operation - is that just me?

It was an experiment, I didn't say it was successful.
I pulled it out of the bin.
