All of the keyboard commands are now commands which can be sent by the + container. + </li> + <li> + A home command like Visual C++ with one hit going to the start of the text on the line and + the next going to the left margin is available. I do not personally like this but my + fingers have become trained to it by much repetition. + </li> + <li> + SCI_MARKERDELETEALL has an argument in wParam which is the number of the type marker to + delete with -1 performing the old action of removing all marker types. + </li> + <li> + Tide now understands both the file name and line numbers in error messages in most cases. + </li> + <li> + Tide remembers the current lines of files in the recently used list. + </li> + <li> + Tide has a Find in Files command. + </li> + </ul> + <h3> + Beta release 0.80 + </h3> + <ul> + <li> + This was the first public release on 14th March 1999, containing a mostly working Win32 + Scintilla DLL and Tide EXE. + </li> + </ul> + <h3> + Beta releases of SciTE were called Tide + </h3> + </body> +</html> + |
