Function extension:
The ST editor has been improved as follows:
- Identical symbols are highlighted
If a symbol (e.g. a variable) is selected in the ST editor, identical symbols are highlighted in gray. - New commands in the 'Customize' dialog (menu 'Tools'>'Customize') in the 'Text Editor' category
- Toggle Field for Incremental Search
Select a text in the ST editor and call the command e.g. by key combination. In the editor, the text is highlighted in yellow at the points found. You can use the arrow keys to jump back and forth between the places where the text was found. - Comment out selected lines
In the ST editor several lines can be commented out at the same time. - Uncomment selected lines
Remove the comment of the selected lines.
- New option in dialog 'Options' (menu 'Tools'>'Options')
- Text editor: Switching the theme between 'Default' and 'Dark
The background color of the ST editor can be switched between 'White' and 'Black'.
- Smart Tag Functions
Smart tags facilitate the creation of program code by providing suitable commands for selection directly at the programming element. If the cursor is placed on a programming element for which a Smart-Tag function is available, the Symbol
appears. A click on the symbol displays the commands that can be selected.
For undeclared variables in the implementation part of the ST editor, the Smart-Tag function provides the command 'Declare variable'.
