In 0.1.11f, the tooltips don't seem to be working anymore. These were very useful, so I hope it can be fixed.
One other thing about tabs: maybe @zep could move that tab names to the bottom? (you hover the tab, and its name replaces line indicator) So it will not close the code view so much :X
While we're at it, it'd be nice if the tooltip contained the first comment with alphanumerics in it, so I could do headers the way I like:
-------------------------------- -- MY AWESOME FUNCTION -------------------------------- insert my awesome function here |
Right now I just get ------------------- in the tooltip. :(
Note: I said alphanumerics because sometimes I also do this, for major headers:
--============================== -- MY AWESOME CATEGORY -------------------------------- insert my awesome category here |
So basically a tooltip would contain the first line of the leading block comment which had substance.
As an aside, you could also strip off the -- and all leading/following whitespace, to allow more room in the tooltip, or to allow it to take less screen real estate if it's short.
Eh. I kinda like how they were implemented. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My eyes are already looking at the top of the screen looking at the tabs, so if the tooltips were at the bottom, I'd have to look down each time I wanted to read the tooltip. Also I kind of liked how the tooltip text itself just naturally became the first line of text once you clicked it anyway.
I just want them back. :)
I'd agree that having them in the bottom, a la Explorer status bars, would be a bother. Better to have them local to the tab, as tooltips usually would be.
While we're talking about Code Tabs...
On Mac, the shortcut key to cycle Tabs uses [CTRL+Tab] (same as on Windows).
But most other commands on Mac use the [Cmd] key (e.g. [Cmd+R] = Run on a Mac)
...so wouldn't [Cmd+Tab] be more consistent?
What about option-tab? Sorry if I have the key name wrong, it's been ages since I used a mac. The ⌥ key.
I really wish this is brought back. It was incredibly useful to be able to just hover over tabs and see the top comment, and I even utilized this, it made organizing my code much easier.
What about the shortcut on linux? alt+tab is used for switching windows :X Same with ctrl+tab
Ctrl-tab too? I thought linux mimicked windows and used ctrl-tab for switching contexts (tabs, documents, etc.) inside of a window.
On windows, ctrl-tab would be the intuitive choice for selecting another tab.
