Hi, I needed to extract the calculator reference from the device, so maybe this can be useful for someone (check the attached file) to print a quick reference, or anything like that.
This help will be an automatic/contextual reference for my little editor
For the next releases (primepad only):
-Snippets to quickly insert code templates
-Intellisense and better highlighting
-Lexer to format the code smartly and maybe detect dumb errors (like pre-compilation but this requires a lot of extra work)
-Grid with symbols to insert them directly
For the next releases (primepad only):
-Snippets to quickly insert code templates
-Intellisense and better highlighting
-Lexer to format the code smartly and maybe detect dumb errors (like pre-compilation but this requires a lot of extra work)
-Grid with symbols to insert them directly
... and I think that's all for the editor.
Is intellisense when the editor can intelligently detect a code block such as IF THEN END (maybe highlight the row numbers in the column designated for line numbering)? This would be very useful.
I should probably just install the program and find out for myself, but what about auto-completion?
Intellisense is the name MS give to auto-completion. I want to add auto-completion but I mixed this concept with the snippets (so my idea is if you write IF you will be able to auto-complete "with the snippet" from the control that will pop up in the editor, or just complete the command for the other commands without "blocks"). What you are saying is about collapsible code and it is also possible (cames after building a good lexer configuration with all the commands).
Since I needed all the commands to highlight them properly and mark those commands corresponding to "blocks", this help reference is 2x useful
As you have seen, the first update was mainly about the calc (filling discovered holes, adding features).
By now CK looks like the poor parent.
It is quite safe to bet that further correction and new feature will be added to the calc on next release. and it is quite safe to bet that CK will evolve to something more friendly.

The guys working on the Connectivity Kit need to play a lot more in safe areas, they can't mess the complete user base just by wandering adding little shiny stuff. But I am free to add anything until my obsession stops and I need to learn another topic
But wanting more features maybe conflicts with your quote from Einstein? Is this simple enough? heheh:

What I say is that CK is really minimalist, and it is the next thing that one can expect to evolve.
No, Einstein quote is aimed to Redmond, Every time I change PC, my screen get bigger (fine) but the new windows interface eats more than what I gained in screen size and I endup with smaller working space (fucking ridiculous ribon); Do you think I am more efficient with less working space?

I don't think the emulator talks back anything allowing to debug directly (indirectly = simulating keys/touches, reading the screen via ocr/other). It can be made but it's a major milestone that goes away at least for my purposes building this alternative toolkit.
