I was concerned how the new Terminal app would affect nearly every dev environment.

hello MrBcx
I like the calltips, they can be helpful reminders, but I seldom find autocomplete useful, more often than not they are nuisance and an obstacle to my typing

Generally agree on both points. Autocomplete CAN be helpful if you are new to a language. If you implement and release, having a quick way to toggle it off/on might be very helpful.

That theme list is very nice. I'm hooked. Thanks!

Outstanding. More than I could have hoped for. Juggling multiple projects at the moment, but should be able to update my old installation very soon.

I tip my virtual hat to you.

Questions & Answers / Re: POLL: Which do you prefer:

Having voted capitalize, I will say in the end, it doesn't really matter. I have so many languages in my head, IDE's, editors. I seem to be able to switch in a couple of minutes when I create/mod some code.

Giving the users an easy way to change the code is BONUS (see what I did there?).

MrBcx,

There are some features, that would be nice if they were added:
- first an option for word-wrap, that can be set on or off; maybe also a maximum line length.
- second, although not so important IMHO: bracket-colourizing, as in VSCode.
(Not so important in Basic sources; it is more applicable in JavaScript f.i.)

Ad

Ad - I'm really glad you brought the subject of bracket-colourizing because up to
this time, I had completely overlooked that Scintilla's VB lexer ( which BCX uses in a modified form )
was preventing square brackets from colorizing correctly.  I isolated the code in the Scintilla VB lexer
and made the necessary change.  The attached image shows it working in BCX now.

Thanks for the help!

Now you are just being a big tease! Love the Scintilla mods you have made.

I really need to update to the latest version of BED. I have an ancient version with none of the recent enhancements/changes.

Does the BED download have the changes in this thread yet?

I really love that color scheme in your last pic. Very close to what I always use.

I tend to lurk versus post a lot. Bad habit I need to break. :)

I'm all for the change in your first post.

A big thumbs up on your new rig!

It is incredible how many great Dell user/workstation/data center servers are available for cheap these days. I have lost count at how many Dell servers I built and deployed during my IT career. Although HP/Compaq and IBM make good hardware, Dell somehow came from behind and captured the market in their hardware segment.

I use regular expressions in my AutoHotkey scripts to parse XML and JSON files. I would love to have the same regular expression support in BCX!

I'll echo my thanks after rediscovering BCX. Thanks to every one here. I visit the forum each day, gleaning small bits of code here and there, which just makes my day.

Please forgive the off-topic post, but wanted to thank Robert and MrBcx for their continued work on BCX.

I just rediscovered BCX after a ten year hiatus forced on me by my day job. Now that I'm retired, I can tinker with one of my favorite tools, BCX!
