I believe these shorcuts (mine, not yours) came from the Macintosh.
This explains why you find them in Adobe's products (or simile). I think
Microsoft adopted them when they ported office to the Macintosh. This
is not a reason to start a jihad: many applications support these two
sets of shorcuts in parallel. E.g. pov's undo is alt+backspace and
ctrl+z.

Yes I do. Sometimes it is usefull. (Printing isn't implemented in
beta6 - but the menu command is there already.)

I am not sure the pov-ray scene language help did change from
beta5 to beta6. The specific povwin help did.

Well, each to his own. That's what is so good with toggle.

I agree. But there are some 'standard' text editor that solve this (I can't
name
one from memory though) so it is _possible_. Anyway, the main reason why
the 'click anywhere' feature is bugging me is that I set my 15" screen to
1024*768 at least (I like to see as much code as possible and to have
big images with some room around for working).



Tracingly,

Fine, thanks, and you?

I run 1152x864 on a 17" screen, so I know what you mean.  But I've been using
Visual Studio for so long, I've gotten used to being able to click where I 
want to go without having to wear out my spacebar.  BTW, in case you hadn't
noticed, pressing the 'end' key moves you to the end of the line.  If there
is spurious whitespace at the end of the line, pressing 'end' cycles you from
the real end of the line, to the last non-whitespace character, and back 
again. If you're sitting after the last non-whitespace character (where 
pressing end either once or twice puts you) and press shift-end, you can 
delete all of the spurious whitespace with at most 4 keystrokes.

Well, fair enough.


How can we manifest our appreciation of your work? I always feel like
the suggestions I post are hurting everybody and that my thanks can't
repair this.


Tracingly,

Wow - thanks!

I'm fine also ;-)

Bye!

One thing that I have missed is the MaxiMinimise
Button.  Is it still around or have you gotten rid of it.
I did use it quite often.

The 'click anywhere' feature of the editor is internal to the editor control
and is not able to be changed by us.

I want to thank you for all the answers you provide. The more so when I
do so much dumb suggestions. I knew this feature would be at best quite a
lot of work and didn't even expect an answer. In such cases I expect the
normal and tacit answer to be 'no'.

That's very agreable to get an answer. But it make me almost afraid to post
my
wildest dreams... Next time you'll see such a crazy request from me, don't
answer;
but use the time of the answer to get a cup of coffee (or tea, or a slice of
pizza,
or whatever...) instead. That will make me much happier.


Thanks to the whole team,

Povingly,

Philippe

After some discussion with the author of the edit control we've worked out a
way to add this. It'll be in the next beta (or the release if there's no next
beta).
