Simple Editor Usage Questions

[HJarausch]

Hi,

I have some very simple questions on the CodeLite's editor usage.

First, is there a means to copy a word with very few mouse clicks (without pull down menus).
In many GUIs I can select text by dragging or double clicking with the left mouse button and
copy it by clicking the middle mouse elsewhere. This doesn't seem to work with CodeLite as configured
by me. (Where can I find a description of mouse actions?)

Second, is there a means to indent/dedent a block previously select with the mouse?

Many thanks for some hints,
Helmut.

Hi Helmut,

As you say, atm CodeLite doesn't seem to support the X primary selection, only the clipboard. wxStyledTextCtrl manages to support both, so this is a CodeLite bug and should be fixable.

You can indent/unindent selected text by using <Tab> and <Shift-Tab>.

Regards,

David

Thanks David.

Hopefully Eran will read your reply or should I create a bug report (where?).

Bug reports go to here, but I'll have a look at fixing this one myself.

Hi again Helmut,

It was actually easy to fix: the code was present already but commented out, as apparently using the primary selection clears the clipboard in wxGTK-2.8.

Eran has now committed the patch, in r3975. But it will only operate for builds on >=wxGTK 2.9. Fortunately CodeLite now works well when built on the latest svn trunk .

Regards,

David
