  Code-Max issue (Message 1 to 7 of 7)

Hi...

I just downloaded the beta, and there are two things I don't quite like
about the editor.

#1:  Say I have a line that is the following:  "    //test".  I put the
cursor before the // and press Shift+<Left Arrow>.  It selects the white
space up to the second space, and not all the way back to the first space.
Ctrl+Backspace does the same thing, where it deletes up to the second space,
but not the first.

#2:  When I close off a block with the curly brackets, I have to backspace
in order to have the end curly bracket line up with the block's initial open
curly bracket.  Although this is not really a performance issue, it is a
little annoying.

For example:

    sphere {
        <0, 0, 0>, 1
        }

where I would like it to automatically match the "}" to the indentation of
the "sphere" line.

Thanks,

Cliff Hewitt

It's not a place to write what you don't like. It's place for bug reports.
Your wishes belongs to povray.windows or povray.general group rather.

Right, sorry:

POV beta 11, Windows 2000, on a Pentium III 933, 512 MB RAM.

It also happens in the VC version, but alas, not in POV 3.1.

Also, I apologize if this has been brought up before, and understand that
this isn't a critical issue (but yes, #1 is what I consider to be a bug).

Thanks again for your time,

Cliff Hewitt

BTW:

Under editor preferences: Language/Tabs tab, set "auto-indentation" to
"follow language scoping"
when you hit return after a curly bracket it will do what you are asking

So this is neither a problem nor a bug.

I also thought that that was what it was, but no, it doesn't align them as
such.  Well, no big deal, I suppose.  I know there are better things for the
POV Team to do than this.  :^)

Thanks,

Oh, sorry -- I just tried it again.  I was unaware that I needed to press
<Enter> for the change to take effect.  Thanks for the help.
