Right Click
Right Click ..
Right-Click is the most powerful feature you could ever dream of for moving across your source, back and forth, and for retrieving various kinds of information:
Right-Click for moving across your sources: Right clicking on any defined symbolic name produces a jump to the edition of the symbol's declaration. This is to say for example, if you Right-Click on 'MyRoutine' in 'call MyRoutine', the editing function jumps to 'MyRoutine:' Declaration. This works for Macro, Equates, Data Labels, main Code Labels. Right clicking again on a blank area of the text window returns the caret to the original location in the source. All moves are stored in a rotary table. You can go back and forth too, with the '<<<<' and '>>>>' menu items, like in a Html editor (Sources are simple ASCII).
Right Click on a Win Equate shows its value, (if written upper case).
Right Click on a mnemonic opens a Mnemonics List, or B_U_Asm [Mnemonics]/[Selected Mnemonic], if you have it installed.
Right Click on an Api call shows a DialogBox with the expected parameters and the DLL name.
Right Click on a Double-quote, at the begining of a multi-lines text Chunk, selects all of the downward text (same for '[', which selects all of a Data Block, down to the next ']' ). This is useful for selecting wide chunks of data at once without seemingly endless mouse scrolling.
Right Click on a Tag Statement will run whatever associated action. Description in Tag .
Right Click on a selected block greater than 50 Characters will append, in the associated Float menu, an Item for a quick and simplified ''Replace All'' feature, that only applies the usual Find-Replace method to the selection only.
Right Click is really the best feature of this Editor. It saves an important amount of development time. This feature alone would be a massive argument for mono-files programming. When working on the source of a Real life Application, the main time consuming problem, once the Source has grown up to some significant size, is to point out where the things are inside.
With multi-included Files, the problem is often the same -if not worse-, because you will not remember, after some time in which file you stored this or that Routine.
With the Right-Click Search, you will point them out in one or two second(s) even if you have forgotten their names (!!!). You can re-read the dependancy Routines very easily; you can verify that a new name is not already in use or that your last entered typing conforms to its declaration in Click times, and so on...
The Editor, when opening a file, tries first to locate at ''MainWindowProc:''. If it fails, it try tries to locate at ''Main:'. If it fails again, it locates to the top. So, in usual cases, it locates at ''MainWindowProc'', when opening your file, and this location is used as a base point for the the recording of moves. As most of your Routines are called from there, moving across the Source organization is made really easy and fast.
