The tgz file has Scite, Scintilla, and Lexilla, but the zip file only has Scintilla Just an FYI. Going to put an hour or three into EDGE_FULL_BACKGROUND and EDGE_MULTI_BACKGROUND today. Probably more time tomorrow. Probably second submission for following if I am happy with how it turns out. Might also take a stab at adding SCI_SETTABLIST() SCI_GETTABLIST() over next few days. If there is pushback I guess I'll just add it to CsScintilla. Yes, today's script kiddies won't see a need for it, but some of us long in the tooth get paid to support ANSI-COBOL, RPG-II, and a host of other card format languages and we don't have good free-as-in-beer options. Add a boolean SCI_SETUSETABSTOPS() with SCI_GETUSETABSTOPS(). Again, today's script kiddies probably neither care nor comprehend this need, but it has been a bur under my saddle since I started working on PCs in the 1980s and part of a years ago ranting blog post. https://www.logikalsolutions.com/wordpress/information-technology/most-text-editors-get-tabs-wrong/ Yes, many users won't care but this is a real problem for people trying to work remote and maintain card format code. We end up having to be "dialed into" the Host system using a real terminal editor so we can use the editor on the platform that lines it up right for the compiler . . . and having a manager demanding we come into the office to use a securely connected terminal. Neil, if you don't want any of this, that's fine, CsScintilla will just branch further away from Scintilla. It's already a bit distant. I just have to leave a large enough gap to rule out constant-collision in my lifetime. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "scintilla-interest" group.
