Hi you all.

I found a neat feature which I did not find (or which does not exist )
in the POV windows editor. That feature is that of finding the matching
opening (or closing) parenthese or brace in a declaration when the
cursor is next to brace or a parenthese.
Those who use Excel for Windows will know what I am talking about.
With Linux, an editor running under X does exactly that trick : Nedit.

One question : Is it something I missed out in POV for Windows os isn't
it implemented ?

Thanks !

Now that I think of it, may be I should have posted this in
povray.programming

Fabien

It's there. Select a brace, go to the menu item search then match 
brace, the cursor jumps to the matching brace.

Yes, right it's there. I never paid any attention to it.

But you may think I am fussy, but :

- how do you manage the keyboard shortcut ? The ] sign has already to be
typed with the combination of
"alt gr" and ")"  (as far as I am concerned in France, and I guess it
goes the same for the rest of Europe).
The combination of "CRTL"+ALT GR"+")" does not work.

- I thought of braces which automatically change color when the cursor
is near the matching one.

May be I am asking for too much, when considering how much work the POV
Team put into this great renderer, but I think this could be easily
done. The POV editor can already tells Pov syntax from the rest.
If I am pushing too far, ...sincere apologies.

You could always use XEmacs which exists both under win and linux and
does have this feature...

No no no. Not XEmacs (AKA 'Lucid Emacs'), use the real emacs. 'GNU Emacs' AKA
'FSF Emacs'
:-)

It is also there for Windows in addition to Linux.

No ALT_GR key here and the ]-key is in the "hook" of the ENTER 
key.

Well, that depends on your country keyboard layout. In France, the ] key
is just on the right of the 0 key.

  Emacs has always had this feature, too.

  Btw, you can record macros in the codemax editor. They may help you for
the shortcut.

main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

You don't need macro's. You can change the complete key mapping, 
also for functions that allready have a short-cut assigned. You 
can also assign more than one short-cut to a function. Editor, 
CodeMax properties, keyboard.
