Mostly because an important feature of the library manager was not compatible with DUB > v0.9.24. Otherwise almost nothing. See https://github.com/BBasile/Coedit/releases/tag/2_update_6 for the changelog and the binaries.

In general, manually adjusting editor themes can get to be a pain, especially when the color settings are mixed in with the rest of the settings. Seems like a really nice editor though, I just tried it for the first time right now. I'd been having a hard time finding an editor I really like since switching my main dev machine to Linux (previously had been a die-hard Programmer's Notepad 2 user, but it has some issues under wine, and of course it doesn't do DCD). Hopefully this one will fit the bill, looks nice so far. Few newbie questions: - In other editors, I tend to rely very heavily on "Ctrl-Tab" to switch between opened files (in most-recently-used order - analogous to Alt-Tab in many desktop environments). Is there an entry for that in "Options"->"Shortcuts"->"Code editor" so I can set that up? I didn't spot one at a glance, but I could've easily overlooked it. - Regarding "tab vs space" indents, the boolean options eoSpacesToTabs, eoTabsToSpaces, and eoTabIndent seem key, but I'm a little unclear on exactly how they work, and the "options1"/"options2" in general don't appear to be documented (understandable, given how many there are, which is nice though, I like configurability. Adjusting software to fit people is much better than adjusting people to fit software, and "one-size-fits-all" only ever works for hats :) ). - Mostly wishful thinking but I don't suppose there are any plans for elastic tabstops, are there? - Not an objection really (and I'm sure this has been asked before, so pardon that), but I'm curious why it's written in Pascal rather than D. Lack of good-enough GUI libs for D? Any plans to port to D down the road? It'd likely be easier to get contributors if it were in D, but I imagine you probably already figured that. Not trying to push for porting of course, I'm just curious. - I am getting a little bit a weird behavior in a couple places (This is on Debian x64, KDE4, FWIW): When I type 'm' in the editor (without Shift), I get a newline instead of an 'm'. The other letters appear to work fine. Also, in the options editor and the search/replace text box (maybe other places as well?), anything I type gets doubled. For example, if I try to type in a value of "20", I get "2200". "if" becomes "iiff". Backspace works fine, so I can easily erase the extra characters, but something seems to have gone weird there. And the "Find" button doesn't appear to successfully find things even when they are there. "Find All" works though. - It'd be nice if there was a way (if there isn't already?) to set up Ctrl-F (or something) to automatically jump to and select the text in the "Search" entry box.On Thursday, 26 May 2016 at 23:44:21 UTC, Basile B. wrote:If the native UI of the operating system has a dark theme then Coedit will have a dark theme too.

Nick Sabalausky <SeeWebsiteToContactMe semitwist.com> Also, just a minor wishlist thing, but it'd be nice if the currently active file (or project name, or something) was prepended to the window's title bar, so it's displays on people's taskbar. That comes in handy when using multiple editor windows.

I didn't spot one at a glance, but I could've easily overlooked it.By default it's Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Left|Right. You can open an enhancement request asking for it not to be hardcoded anymore.- Regarding "tab vs space" indents, the boolean options eoSpacesToTabs, eoTabsToSpaces, and eoTabIndent seem key, but I'm a little unclear on exactly how they work, and the "options1"/"options2" in general don't appear to be documented (understandable, given how many there are, which is nice though, I like configurability. Adjusting software to fit people is much better than adjusting people to fit software, and "one-size-fits-all" only ever works for hats :) ).eoTabsToSpaces: when tab is pressed insert <tabwidth> spaces instead of 0x9. The others: I don't really know.- Mostly wishful thinking but I don't suppose there are any plans for elastic tabstops, are there?TIL. Never heard of this before. There's a column mode but it's only used on the selection.- Not an objection really (and I'm sure this has been asked before, so pardon that), but I'm curious why it's written in Pascal rather than D. Lack of good-enough GUI libs for D? Any plans to port to D down the road? It'd likely be easier to get contributors if it were in D, but I imagine you probably already figured that. Not trying to push for porting of course, I'm just curious.Because I come from this language and it's really top comfy for me. When I started CE I was still a complete noobie in D (and had 0 C-ish background, even today D is the only C-style language I know). Also it has a very good code editor component. Today, two years after, I think it would be possible for me to write it with gtkD though some important components miss: asynchronous process and serialization system à la Pascal (I'm working on both in my user library).- I am getting a little bit a weird behavior in a couple places (This is on Debian x64, KDE4, FWIW): When I type 'm' in the editor (without Shift), I get a newline instead of an 'm'. The other letters appear to work fine.Bug report please.Also, in the options editor and the search/replace text box (maybe other places as well?), anything I type gets doubled. For example, if I try to type in a value of "20", I get "2200". "if" becomes "iiff". Backspace works fine, so I can easily erase the extra characters, but something seems to have gone weird there.This is probably an imcompatibility with the SCIM (The Smart Common Input Method platform). See http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=6231.0 for the resolution.And the "Find" button doesn't appear to successfully find things even when they are there. "Find All" works though.There's a problem when "allow Regex" is not checked. And another one I've already encountered once, that I cannot reproduce and fix (if this is this one you talk about so far the only way to fix is the close the file and reopen it)- It'd be nice if there was a way (if there isn't already?) to set up Ctrl-F (or something) to automatically jump to and select the text in the "Search" entry box.Yes Ctrl+F is the default shortcut. It copies the current identifier to the "Find & replace" widget. Then F3 to get the first match.
