Qs on Program Editor
« Thread started on: May 25th, 2013, 05:48am » |

Hi Richard.
A couple of questions regarding the PE in 5.94:
1. What is happening when Shift-Backspace is pressed more than once? It doesn't seem to just delete a character each time it's pressed. The cut and copy icons are activated and deactivated.
2. There seems to be a intermittent delay when editing and moving around the PE with the keys. I wasn't aware of this in 5.93. Is this just my computer or is somthing else going on?

Shift+Backspace isn't an editing shortcut in BB4W. What's presumably happening is that Shift and Backspace are, separately, performing their normal operations (Shift plus a cursor-movement causes the text traversed to be selected). Since Shift+Backspace doesn't have any official function, it's better not to use that key combination.

There are no delays of any kind built into the BB4W editor. I've noticed something smilar on my laptop, but not on any of my other PCs. A quirk of Windows (or some add-on software) I expect.

Did you happen to notice them on the previous version?

I didn't have the laptop then, but as there's been no significant change in the code I expect it was exactly the same. There are no delays anywhere in the code of the BB4W editor.
