Is there a central location for existing wishes and ones that have been rejected? That's my first one if it doesn't exist :)

2) One the Hide module right click on the open files list could you add a close all but Main entry to close all but the main. In fact could it be close all but this, don't always need the Main open...

3) Could keyboard shortcuts be changed? I would like to put in some of the Visual Studio shortcuts given that i switch in between that and B4A. Even just a map file that we can manually edit would be great.

*I'm sure I'm running out of wishes here*

4) Can we have a duplicate line/selection shortcut (I find the one I have in VS invaluable now).

5) Can we have a block un/comment shortcut (as per the toolbar.

6) Any chance that the debug toolbar can be docked in the top panel near the play icon?

7) Can there be some focus towards making it so that user added images and extra functionality in the xml / resource files can be done via the interface so there is no need to edit in notepad and make read only.

Hopefully some of those are already present and I'm being stupid, or that they are already planned for the next release :)

Regards,

Jon

You're welcome.

Thanks for that - I'll probably avoid them till I can make them the same as VS. I already have to remember too much :(

How about a menu option, that would format the current file/selection, so any indentation is correctly done (with tabs).

B4X:
Sub FormatTest
For i = 1 To 100
ListView1.AddSingleLine("Item #" & i)
Next
End Sub

Would become
B4X:
Sub FormatTest
   For i = 1 To 100
      ListView1.AddSingleLine("Item #" & i)
   Next
End Sub

This has been suggested multiple times. Maybe it is on the wishlist. I remember personally suggesting this.

I'd like to see a code formatting option too.

Most other editors call it some type of Tidy. HTML Tidy, etc. Being able to specify rules would be cool too like- spaces per indent, Variable Case, Global Case, Function Case, Variable Type Prefixes added [like if Height is a Global which we select as Title Case and we tell it to prefix Int Types with i then: Dim height as Int becomes Dim iHeight as Int]

Need to be careful with prefixing int types with an i just in case the increasingly litigious apple decide that they can patent the letter i at the start of a word. If they can get rounded corners why not a letter?
