I would like to suggest some enhancements to the current PB editor and would like to see what other PB users think of them, or maybe they would like to add to my list.
1- Underlining user variables that need to be DIMed. The user can see all the variables that need to be DIMed and act on them instead waiting for the compiler to flag them one at a time. The underlining idea is similar to MS Word when the user types a word that is not in the dictionary.
It would be really cool if the user then right-clicks on any of the underlined variables and then selects the variable type from the multitude of types supported by PB and the editor automatically adds 'DIM AbcdEfgh as BYTE' (for example) at the top of the current function/subroutine.
2- As in VB editor, if the user writes a variable name in a certain way then whenever subsequently the name appears in the code it will be written in the same way it was first written. This would save pressing the shift key to get the desired letter capitalizations every time the variable is typed.
3- As in VB editor, typing any of PB statements would force the editor to display a bubble message showing the statements's arguments list.
