lizby said I was talking about the console log where ^C didn't work

^C doesn't but you can right click and select copy. It would be difficult to implement the keyboard shortcuts in that window.
If you use the VT100 mode, there is no copy ability but you can switch between modes (most of the time)

lizby said Regarding Find, I often have to hit ^F more than once for the Find box to appear. Then would be helpful if the cursor were in the Find text box (where ^v pastes text you are trying to find), and then <Enter> would activate the FIND button, or for subsequent occurrences, FIND AGAIN.

A lot of the keyboard shortcuts are 'sluggish' unfortunately, especially when the chat window is also open. The problems of using an interpreted language.

lizby said
If you switch to MMEdit with Alt+TAB, ^F doesn't work until you have clicked in the edit area.

The editor control is a 'scintilla' control which sits inside a normal window. When you first return to the editor, the initial message that that is the active window seems to get lost. I have failed in my attempts to intercept that message so there will always be an issue there. It happens when you switch to that window by clicking in it also, you need a second click, and it annoys me (and others) too.

Hi Jim , I had loaded the latest MMEdit from your web site 3.7 I think but it has given me grief a couple of occasions so i had to go back to previous version. It happens when i save the document,it seems to copy part of the program again plus a load of control char, sorry its not a very clear screen shot.

Mike,
I can't look at it for a couple of weeks but what version of Windows are you running?
Showing control codes for part of the edit window is strange and not an area I have much control over. I suspect it could be the DLL that does those fancy bits.

I will experiment when I get home.

Hi Jim, I should have said of course. I am using windows 10 on two machines and have seen the problem on both. I wonder how many others may have seen it if they have updated or perhaps its just a windows10 combination issue.

Cheers Mike

lizby said I'm sorry that I didn't clarify that I was talking about the console log where ^C didn't work (and ^x and ^v don't apply--my mistake).

I often get caught out with Ctrl-C to copy from the console window, but understand the issue.

Ctrl-C is the break code for the micro. So if it was allowed to perform he copy function, then sending a Break from the terminal would not be possible.

Phil.

W10 here also.
Is it when you save to disk or when you send to the mite?
The control codes look a bit like XMODEM flags.

Can you PM me a copy of one of the corrupted files.
Also a copy of your configuration report.

I will have better internet in a few days.

Hi Jim, OK I will have to set up with the new version again and see if i can create a bad file. Its when I save and save a crunched file, then transfer by using the Teraterm macro, I never use the built in transfer.

Jim, I reloaded 3.7 yesterday and gave it quite an extensive test while rewriting some code and all went without a hitch, no problems as previously experienced so sorry for report raised. Perhaps it was just something in that particular file at the time causing the problem ? just don't know.

Thanks Mike

Glad it's working for you although it would have been nice if the error could be repeated. Much easier to fix if you can see it!

I did some testing using your BM.BAS file posted elsewhere but couldn't fault it either.

I did find an unrelated bug so the time was not wasted.

Once I get over the jet-lag, I will update MMEdit with the 5.4 syntax and a couple of other changes.

38 hours traveling from hotel to home takes me a while to get over...

Is it possible to have bookmarks not wiped when saving? I have a habit from bygone days of saving regularly and remember just after hitting the icon.

Keep up the good work😀

I am sure it can be done but will take a bit of work.
Other things I do when saving cause the file in the edit window to get re written. This looses the bookmarks.

I will look into it.

Hi Jim

I appreciate MM Edit, and the work that goes into it, maybe more than most. I wrote a complete IDE for my company's embedded controller product, SPLat, many, many years ago.

One problem in MM Edit is causing me a lot of grief: The auto-formatting fails to undent on END SELECT. Hence with nested SELECT CASE structures it just indents further and further to the right.

SetSound(2000):pause(50):SoundOff
Select case KeyCode
case 2 ' + Faster
select case MotorMode
case kStopped
case kRunning
case kRotating
end select
UpdateMotor
case 194 'Back Reverse direction
select case MotorMode
case kStopped
case kRunning
case kRotating
end select
UpdateMotor
case 224 'Rewind Left
select case MotorMode
case kStopped
case kRunning
case kRotating
end select
UpdateMotor
case 168 'Play Stop/Start
select case MotorMode
case kStopped
case kRunning
case kRotating
end select
UpdateMotor
case 144 'Fast Fwd Right
select case MotorMode
case kStopped
case kRunning
case kRotating
end select
UpdateMotor
case 104 ' 0
select case MotorMode
case kStopped
case kRunning
case kRotating
end select
UpdateMotor
end select
end if

loop

'---- Motor update.
'Set individual motor speeds from Speed and SpeedRatio
Sub UpdateMotor()
local M1 as float, M2 as float
M1 = Speed * SpeedRatio
M2 = Speed / SpeedRatio
if M1 > 1 then
elseif M2 > 1 then
endif
end sub

David,

I think your problem is related to the repeated End Select statements. According to the manual there should be only one matching End Select for each Select Case.

MMEdit is interpretting your multiple End Selects as the end of that particular Case Select and starting an indent for the next Case.

Haven't had a chance to confirm on MMEdit yet.

Cheers,
panky.

Panky, thanks for the reply. I am still confused. Here's a simplified example of the problem

do
select case fred
case 1
case 2
end select
loop

Shouldn't the 'loop' be in line with the 'do'? It is if I comment out the Select Case and reformat ...

do
' select case fred
' case 1
' case 2
' end select
loop

And my original code has nested select case/end select structures (legal) and they are properly balanced.

Hi Jim,
A small one if you are doing any update in future.
The library does not index CSUBs that it contains. I think they add in OK, just not listed. My workaround is a dummy CFUNCTION header.
Its handy to have HUMID etc now they are CSUBs.

Regards
Gerry

I will have a look at it but it will be a few weeks before I can put out any opdates.

@David,

Re the Select, end select, my apologies - didn't read the code properly.

I don't know when that issue appeared. I should have noticed it by now.

It will be a few weeks before I can put out a fix.
Thanks for letting me know.

I have had a look at some of the bugs reported.
I can fix the missing CSUB from the library.
I can fix the SELECT CASE indenting.
I can change "Save AS" to default to the current name.

These will be easy enough to do when I get home.

I save the configuration setting with the BASS file but so far, I don't do much with them. I will have to wait till I get home to a bigger screen before I know what progress I had made.
