what about gideros+

MoKaLux

Hello there gideros people,

What about asking what gideros users would like to see in a next gideros release?

I am not a pro (yet!) but I would like to get good at using gideros studio and participating in its development as much as I can.

I am still geeking with gideros and some things I would have liked in gideros studio:

• line comment/uncomment shortcut like CTRL + / (cf. android studio)
  
• block comment/uncomment shortcut like CTRL + / (cf. android studio)
  

I am using a french keyboard and those shortcuts would help quite a lot.

In the meantime I have set up some autohotkey scripts to help me with the above keyboard shortcuts.

What do you think?

Another one that I miss:

• variables highlight: when I select a whole variable it would be nice to see all its iterations highlighted in the code.
  

Peace.

@MoKaLux you can submit suggestions to github section: https://github.com/gideros/gideros/issues

I've found some hidden info on shortcuts: http://giderosmobile.com/DevCenter/index.php/Menu_shortcuts_and_accelerators
(probably I should move it to new wiki)

p.s. I totally agree that variables highlight would be absolutely awesome.

hi apollo14, I don't want to clutter the gideros github, they have already done a great job. It is just my two cents what could be implemented in next gideros builds.

another one possibility?:

• better lua file highlighting, I think that the file we are currently coding in does not stand out enough. The only hint we have is the red closing cross. Maybe another color for the tab could do it?
  

That is of course only my two cents.

open the MetroDark.qss file-the tab color is configured there

@oleg wonderful, thank you for this one. I am going to change it right now!

Super great, I have used the same color as yours. Thank you for this one. Peace.

Google has a color matching tool

the most useful keys I use:
tab - move selected text block to the right
shift+tab -move selected text block to the left

Personally I think that CTRL + U should be changed to work like Zerobrane Studio which comments/uncomments the selected block of text.

But that's just because I'm a filthy ZBS user

@antix do you know how hard it is to implement? I believe we should be looking into Qt and c++. I would like to implement this feature myself but not sure at all where to begin.

I think I would need to install all the stuff needed for gideros (there are a lot) and then open up Qt. Then find how to do it and finally where to put it in the code.
Then debugging and releasing! That would be great.

I will get there sooner than later hopefully.

BTW: right now I am using some autohotkey shortcut to kind of implement that!

@MoKaLux I really don't know, sorry. @hgy29 would be the man to point you in the right direction there

Sharp thinking on the AHK trick to make that work, great stuff!

Probably here: https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/master/ui/textedit.cpp

@antix I can share to ahk code no problem.

@hgy29 yes that looks like the right place. Do I have to go through the process of building gideros on my machine to test (before committing a pull request)?

hgy29

@MoKaLux, yes, if you want to test your changes then you’ll have to build the studio at least. Luckily this is not that difficult and rather well explained on the wiki. You can limit your build to the QT part.

antix

@MoKaLux nah it's all good, I use ZeroBrane Studio and only use Gideros Studio to do the stuff that ZBS cannot do.
