IDE features

  1. Default IDE features

    I just started to use RealBasic and am missing few features I used to
    use a lot in other environment. Maybe somebody could advise me how to
    achieve following functionality. (I am working on Mac.)
    I would like to display methods side by side (to copy code from one to
    another.) Is there a way how to switch IDE from the one-window
    interface to several windows? If not, is it a way how to open objects
    in separate tabs and switch between tabs with keyboard?
    Second, ss there a way how to open a method from other method (like
    alt-click on method name in CW?)

    TIA,

    Peter Bozek

    You can use the new window menu command to make a new window.

    Yes, right-click on the method name and choose "Go To" (whatever it is)
    from the contextual menu. Also works for classes, properties, etc.

    Also take note of the Location field, and the History and Bookmarks
    features, similar to those of a web browser.

    Under preferences, you can set the IDE to default to opening items in a
    new window instead of a new tab. However, when double-clicking the
    items in the project item editor, you can override this behavior with
    the Cmd key (or Ctrl on Windows/Linux).

    The default of the IDE is to open in tabs, and you can use Ctrl+Tab to
    switch between the various tabs with the keyboard.

    You can right click on the item in the code editor and select Go To, or
    you can hold Cmd and double click on the word (or Ctrl, if you're on
    Windows or Linux).

    HTH!

    Thanks everybodu for help. Last question - are all shortcuts
    documented somewhere? I could not find IDE shortcuts description in
    User's manual.

    Unfortunately, I don't think they're documented anywhere. They really
    should be, though!
