New Open Turing Editor *Alpha* - Autocompletion, tabs, regex search and more

[Srlancelot39]

I noticed one "glitch" so far - not sure if it's intentional or not...

Syntax like "drawfillbox" is showing up in the same colour/boldness as variables...thought maybe it should be black?

Also, a suggestion, when I have a window open already, and decide to open another file, it should open a new tab in the existing window. Instead of 2 windows <3

Ya this is a bug. It hasn't been fixed yet because Windows architecture makes it very difficult. I'm working on it.

Fixed it! I uploaded a new package with the fix, same link though.

amazing! TY

@Srlancelot39 It was noted at the beginning. If I remember correctly, the issue was that there are a lot of fuctions that need to be blacked out, so it will take some time.

Not sure if this was known before, but I downloaded it yesterday and started playing around and noticed that if you try to use the scroll bar in the drop down auto-complete type feature, the entire box.

As in you type Text. and the drop down appears but if you click something in it, the box will disappear

[trishume]

yes. Currently and possibly forever the autocomplete is keyboard based.

It is part of the editor component I use so it is hard to change.

I'd also like to add that there should be a "Minimize All Tabs" button. Because traversing the file and minimizing every procedure every time i re open the file is a bit annoying. It'd be much easier to get where i need to be if I could minimize it all and then maximize the tabs I need. (By tabs I mean the + and - on the left margin)

Excellent work trishume! Once again, I wish this had been around when I was using Turing!

It still annoys me to no end that Eclipse doesn't have a "maximize all" in the file explorer.

Norton thought this was a virus but I ran it anyway and no problems so far.

Also the indenting seems different than the Holt Soft editor?

[trishume]

Yes. Everything is completely reimplemented. Unfortunately this means that the auto-format is not up to par with the normal editor.

The advantage is you lose the stupid bugs like "not enough memory to indent file"

[mirhagk]

Oh no? So now you can't double click a new file to crash it? That was my favourite feature of it.

Keep up the good work. Once all the bugs are ironed out this is something I would gladly use. It reminds me a bit of notepad++. I love that program

[Amarylis]

Just putting this out there: trishume, you're my new favourite person. You've made programming with Turing bearable in class

[trishume]

Thanks. I couldn't stand programming in Turing either so I decided to make it better.
