The state of the Macro system

It looks like the state of the Macro system is questionable, full of bugs,
and things that do not work, and more or less unusable.

Is that true?

That looks really nice. One of these days I really want to make it to Sweden.

Re: Merry Christmas

I missed this. Belated Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. I don't know a lot about art, but I know what I like, and I really like that postcard image. I've always like "simple", colorful, folksy art like that. I'm a sucker for Thomas Kinkade, and his Painter of Light work, too. I was just tryi...

XUL

I haven't seen or found a XUL language file. HTML kind of works, but not really. XUL is kind of more complex than HTML in some ways. So the HTML highlighting gets tweaked up. Anyone know anything, heard anything, though about it, etc.? I am doing XUL in Firefox extension work. So it's a little speci...

Re: JSON Syntax Highlighting?

Thanks. That's a nice tool. But I like to use the editor to do JSON stuff. I was going to make a highlighter and I didn't. It would be pretty easy, though. Although you could probably just use JavaScript highlighting in a pinch, as better than nothing. Here is an online highlighter and formatter: ht...

JSON Syntax Highlighting?

I was looking for a JSON syntax file and couldn't find one.

Is that even possible?

I'm not real familiar with JSON.

There might not be any "keywords".
It might all be quoted text and punctuation highlighting.
Which might be better than nothing.

Re: Script to convert characters

Thanks.

Is there any easy way to tell if a macro is C++ format versus JS?
Or any of the others. (some are more obvious)

Script to convert characters

What would be the best or easiest way to make a script (or whatever) to convert "fancy characters" to non-fancy characters? And have it be easily executable, by either a menu action or key sequence. And ideally it should either do it globally or to a selection if there is one. That is, fan...

Single-Digit numbers not colored

For some reason, single-digit numbers are not colored, but more than one digit numbers are. Is this normal? It's doing it in PHP, JavaScript, and my QB64 files, so it's not "my fault." ;o) I think it's actually been doing this for awhile, now that I think about it. This might be an actual ...

Re: Find QB function or sub based on cursor location

I'm thinking I want to assign these functions to a 'command prefix key', probably F11. So you would press F11, and then another key to execute the appropriate function, like: UpArrow = Find Previous Sub/Function DownArrow = Find Next Sub/Function F11 = Execute Previous Find (so you can F11-Up, F11-F...

Re: Find QB function or sub based on cursor location

Thanks for doing that.

It should work for QB64 programs, and other Quick BASIC-like programming languages.
(I suppose there could be times when SUB or FUNCTION don't start at the first character)

And it won't be hard to make it find NEXT and PREVIOUS routines, too.

Re: Help with/for Scripting

I meant "brute force" (not hardcoding-type), rather than a more elegant solution. In some ways the docs are good. However, that doesn't help due to the proprietary nature of the implementation, so they might as well not be there at all. It's like if you got a programming language manual th...

Re: Help with/for Scripting

Thanks. I figured out the FastScript thing. But it has been 'attached' to the editor, with editor objects and methods and properties and such, which are proprietary. I figured out the Document.SelText and a couple of other things, but didn't want to do a hardcoding-type implementation. I guess Ricka...

Re: Help with/for Scripting

I found some info in help. But I can't even figure out how to do a simple search, much less a regex search. All I want to do is find the QB64 FUNCTION or SUB routine in the editor using the selected text or the word the cursor is on (or at the front or rear of) if no selection. So the regex would be...

Is there any help or wiki or anything for scripting? I can't find anything. There should be a STICKY at the top of this forum that gives some basic information. I wanted to write a script, so I looked at it/them, and couldn't find any information or help, and see that there are several scripting lan...
