The file above contains all source and .cbplugin files for both MSW and unix.

To install the plugin:

You may have to restart CodeBlocks if there were pre-existing editors open during the install.

I guess I'm just too blind to see: What's the difference to enabling "Use smart tag switching scheme" (or was it "Use drop-down list" in Settings -> Environment -> Notebooks appearance and then pressing CTRL + TAB?!
With regards, Morten.

With regards, Morten.

The smart tabs just switches back and forth between the last two activated editors with a Ctrl-tab.

To get to the next editor you have to remember to hit Ctrl-tab-tab. for the next Ctrl-tab-tab-tab; then the next is Ctrl-tab-tab-tab-tab . And the list gets rearranged each time.

Smart tabs records the editors in the order in which they appear on the notebook tabs. Not the way they were activated by the user.

BrowseTracker keeps a record of the order in which they were activated by the USER. Like an internet browser. And it contains ONLY the editors activated by the user, not the complete notebook of editors.

Lets say you have a project open and you've activated two editors. You then open CodeBlock.cbp. Now smart tabs is full of tab entries, while BrowseTracker contains only the two.

One Alt-Left, and you're back where want to be.

Lets say you search-in-files for "wxTree", then activate an editor, then search for "wxPopup". See what you want to see, then with one Alt-Left, you're back at "wxTree". With another Alt-Left, you're back at your own code.

You can't do that with Ctrl-Tab unless you have a steel-trap memory.

Im some versions behind. I'll re-compile this evening.

Thanks

But, also, the zip file contains the source and .cbp projects.
So you don't have to wait for me.

I know but i'm looking for time ! And the little I have goes to the toolbar integration for the ThreadSearch plugin.

Nevertheless, I have the same problem building it in release and debug mode with SVN 4066
It works !

Hi Pecan,

thanks for the great plugin. Some time ago I asked for that feature and now it is available. Cool :D

http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,5552.0.html

Some editors like vi, emacs, Textpad etc. have different buffer for copy and paste or a clipboard history. I think the same mechanism of browsetracker could be used to implement such a clipboard history. This is useful if you want to rename different variables in your source code. What do you think about that?

Bye,

Mario

True... But there are so many of these nice little "tray" programs that do just that. And they arn't limited to a single program.

Hello Pecan

thanks for this fine plugin.

what do you think about to extend your plugin in order to save and browse the history
of all recent position(s) in all files even when the recent position(s) were in the same file,
e.g. when a Find Next/Previous , or Goto Line Number etc. were done before.

Ok, I'm game.

Any ideas on how to impement it?

How would you know when to  record a position in the queue? What actions are meaningful and which are trivial?

Title: Re: BrowseTracker plugin
Post by: tiwag on July 03, 2007, 08:36:03 pm
hello Pecan

ok, starting collecting ideas ...

i would think that every jump to any code location should be recorded,
which wasn't done by the cursor keys or page up/down and begin/end.

i.e.
* all kind of Find commands: Find, Find Next/Previous, Find in Files, ThreadSearch find, ...
* movement by  jump to bookmarks
* changing active editor file: editor tab, opened files list, project files, ...

usr interface
* Alt-Left/Right could present the last Browsetracker files-list (as already implemented)
* Alt-Up/Down jumps in the History of locations (new)

if codecompletion was enabled, the names from the symbol-browser could be stored too
and shown in the Browsetracker files-list as sub-list to each file

better stopping now  :P

Hi,

After reading this post (the first post specially), I noticed that there is an actual an incomplete functionality in the wxFlatNotebook smart tabbing - which only stores the last 2 editors (kinda sux.  :D).

So, I updated wxFlatNotebook's smart tabbing so it will keeps an *unlimited* stack of recently visited tabs.

Due to the above change, the following functionality was improved/added:
- closing a tab, will cause wxFNB to select the previously visited tab (if this tab was already closed, it will select the one before it, and so on)
- Ctrl+tab/Ctrl+PgDn/Up (navigating between tabs) - will offer the list of tabs in orders they were visited.

- Ctrl+PgDn/Up (navigating between tabs)
Anyway, is this customisable somehow? Because this functionality is (within IDE's) often used to switch to the previous / next method in a file. This includes C::B and e.g. Visual Studio.

Well,

It is not hard coded.

I am capturing OnNavigationKey event
Code
void wxFlatNotebook::OnNavigationKey(wxNavigationKeyEvent& event)

which seems to react for these two combinations (Ctrl + PgUp/Dn & Ctr+Tab+(Shift)), so I guess this comes from the system settings, but I really dont know from where or how to change this.

That are actually defined by the OS as the "minor control navigation keys". They are sent to wxControlContainer, and from there to any class using the navigation event.

Thanks for that info. Well, we have a conflict now: Two functionalities fight for a hotkey. Which one is right? Both has to do with navigation. The pro for wxFNB is that it's "wxWidgets native" then, the pro for jumping to next/previous method is being compatible with major other IDE's (like Visual Studio). Which do we want?

Ps: Can the keybinder plugin handle any re-association?! (I guess no.)

Ps: Can the keybinder plugin handle any re-association?! (I guess no.)

If a plugin changes a keybinding on the menu items, keybinder will recognize and record it withing 15 seconds.

But....

Since wxFlatNotebook is invoked before the plugins, it owns the navigation keys first. Since the OS hands it off to the navigation events.

Since the CC plugin gets invoked later...
CC could then (as it does now) intercept the wxEVT_NAVIGATION_KEY if an option box is checked.

But the user will have to give up the OS "minor navigation control keys".
It seems Visual Studio users find that acceptable.


When in doubt, give the user the option.

It can't really. I have added a listener to this event in CC and it never gets called. This is because simply wxFNB "steals" this event already. I didn't realise this until now as I have switched to wx28 (in wx26 this worked properly). Now the CTRL+PGUP/PGDOWN simply is ignored for CC. This very much deceases my productivity... :-(
I guess we *have* to think either of making this optional in both, wxFNB and CC (which is a bad idea IMHO) or disabling this functionality in on of both and enabling it in the other (which is bad, too) or change the hotkeys for CC or wxFNB.
For now I have disabled the Event in wxFNB (for me only) to be able to "method jump" again... But what makes me wonder: Why is it actually woiring in wx26? Did that mean the the event interception of wxFNB was ignored there?!
With regards, Morten.

Aaargh! I figured out why that was. I have switched from wx26 to wx28 today and (somehow) all the keybinder associations were broken. Thus suddenly the CTRL+P combination was assigned for both: Jump to previous and next method. I have deleted the keybinder config file and it works again. Anyway all the rest I mentioned is true.
BTW: Should we start a new thread on that topic? This has not very much to do with the BrowserPlugin meanwhile...

- If you mean in build process, you should try and built it with 2.8 & 2.6 - I myself uses 2.8 so I am not sure if I didn't break 2.6 builds (for example, wxRect::Contains() vs wxRect::Iside(), I attended theses issues, but still)
- The main reason to switch to the next version, is the new theme (wxFNB_FF2), the property dialog and couple of bug fixes.

@Eran :

2 changes I made to your sources (compile step) :

renderer.cpp : line 23 : regPts[9] is NOT used.  (I didn't touch th comment just above it )

wxFlatNotebook.cpp : line 127 : signed/unsigned comp warning

if(m_iActivePage > (int)page || (int)page >= m_pagesInfoVec.Count())

becomes

if(m_iActivePage > (int)page || (int)page >= (int)(m_pagesInfoVec.Count()))


CB builds fine (first testing on windows), now time for the tests


moving to another dedicated topic --> negative side effects

This is in trunk now, nice.

Unfortunately this doesn't really fix the issue here: It makes no sense if this key-combination is used for both: a) to switch to another notebook and after that b) to jump to another method. So still: What's the most convenient way to setup? IMHO one of both parties (CC or wxFNB) needs to change this key association. I personally vote for wxFNB as I believe due to Visual Studio users are more into jumping to the next/previous method. But that's just me and I could live with the other way round, too (I would change that on my personal copy then). What about the other devs? Any thoughts/preferences?
With regards, Morten.
Ps.: Maybe I should start a poll - never did that before... ;-)

Hi,

I can not build BrowseTracker Plugin with the current svn version, as the function GetAppWindow()->GetMenuBar issues an compiler error. If I include wx/frame.h and change the line to GetAppFrame()->GetMenuBar I get different errors.
What modification do I need to make the plugin work with the current release?

    ////m_pAppWin  = Manager::Get()->GetAppWindow();
    ////m_pMenuBar = Manager::Get()->GetAppWindow()->GetMenuBar();
    m_pAppWin  = wxTheApp->GetTopWindow();
    m_pMenuBar = ((wxFrame*)m_pAppWin)->GetMenuBar();

BrowseTracker
Version 1.2.4 2007/11/30

BrowseTracker is a small CodeBlocks plugin to browse back and forth to recently activated CodeBlocks editors.

It keeps a 20 slot history of recently activated editors.

It uses the Alt-Left and Alt-Right command keys to move through the editor stack in the order in which they were activated.

For convienence there is a menu item at the bottom of the CodeBlocks Main Menu/View that allows you to clear the history stack.

For each active editor, BrowseTracker memorizes the location of mouse clicks (one per page). The user browses to previous locations via the Alt-Up and Alt-Down keys.

Memorizing multiple locations per page can be forced with a Ctrl+Left-Mouse click.

Updated 2007/11/30 Version 1.2.4
http://www.savefile.com/files/1232644


The file above contains all source and .cbplugin files for both MSW and unix.

To install the plugin:

   * Unzip the downloaded file.
   * Close all active CodeBlocks projects
   * Use the CodeBlocks installer at
     MainMenu/Plugins/Manage Plugins.../Install New
   * Navigate to the location you unzipped the file above.
   * Double click BrowseTracker.cbplugin for MSWindows
   * Double click libBrowseTracker.cbplugin for unix


You may have to restart CodeBlocks if there were pre-existing editors open during the install.

If CodeBlocks whines about SDK version or Symbol mismatches, the zip file contains the .cbp project files necessary to compile the source.

Hi,

    I am using Codeblocks snapshot version CB_20071206_rev4711_win32 with mingwm10_gcc421 and wxmsw28u_gcc_cb_wx287. whenever i try to install BrowseTracker for CB i get below mentioned error and it fails to Load. Sorry if this is a repeated question. i use CB to work on ARM Compillers but this doesnt allow me to recompile the source. Please let me know how to recompile the code with some other toolchain.

C:\Editors\Code Blocks/share/codeblocks/plugins/BrowseTracker.dll: not loaded (missing symbols?)

The same also happens to me with Threadsearch Plugin

I understand your problem. It means I need to include a .cbplugin for the nightly build in the BrowseTracker download zip file.

I cannot do this for each nightly build as it's a hugh time consuming effort to download/build/test for both windows & linux nightlies. But I'll try to link with the current nightlies for each release of BrowseTracker.

BrowseTracker can be compiled with the same tool chain used to compile CodeBlocks itself. The zip file contains the necessary .cbp files.

Thanks for your report.

Yes. This is a bug. The empty dialog can be dismissed via an Alt-Left or Alt-Right begin hit twice in succession.

Then double click on another project in the workspace to cause cbEVT_PROJECT_ACTIVATE to be issued. Then switch back to your chosen project.
All should work after that.
I'll fix this issue asap.

...The BrowseTracker menu lists the operation: Sort BrowseMarks.
What does this operation do?

The Alt up/down arrows follow the marks in the order that the user placed them. Sorting causes the Alt up/down to follow the marks in ascending or decending order of line numbers.

Just like the behavior of the current book marks (Alt PgUp/PgDn).

Personally, I prefer to go to marks as I placed them last. Thus, I don't have to ascend/decend through intervening marks.

But in the case where you've set a large number of marks, you can get some serious/disorienting jumping around. Sorting the Browse/Book marks can help this situation.

It's also nice to sort them before closing the file. The marks will be reloaded in line sort order when the file is re-opened.

A side effect of sorting: the cursor will always be placed at the beginning of the line. Not at the offset (within the line) at which you placed the mark.

I have serious issues with this plugin (recently). Whenever I try to import a Visual Studio solution C::B crashes. The reason is the BT plugin, file ProjectData.cpp, line 63 (m_ProjectFilename = pcbProject->GetFilename();). It seems pcbProject *is* NULL sometimes in the case of an import. So you better don't rely on it. I had to disable the BT plugin to be able to import VS solutions again. :-(

Hi Pecan,

I have some ideas for the BrowseTracker, especially for setting the browsemarks.

Do you think it is possible to set the browsemarks on:
- highlighting text by double clicking on one word
- highlighting text with Shift+<left>/<right>

Additionally it would be nice to have an integration in the "find declaration / implementation"-functions. (and maybe in the ThreadSearch-plugin, too?): if the line with the search result is in the same file, you do not have the possibility to jump back to the line you entered the search value in.

Any maybe it is possible to add a BrowseMark in the same way as a bookmark, by left-clicking between the line numbers and the folding marks? This would make it easier to manually set the BrowseMarks!

Sven

Browse tracker used to do this, but there were so many complaints about it, it got removed.

In the future, I'll add options to the Settings menu to re-instate your first two requests if there's enough demand. But for now it seems you and I are the only ones who like this kind of feature.

I don't understand this.  On my system, when I mark a line before doing a search, I have no problem jumping back to it.

As for integration into the CodeCompletion plugin, I don't think I have the where-with-all to climb that mountain.

Look at the Setting menu entry. (Menu/View/BrowseMarks/Settings).
You can use BrowseMarks as if they were Bookmarks.

Edit: Ok, I see what you mean. Setting the book mark in the margin  is not seen by BrowseTracker. I'll see what I can do about that.

In the meantime: you can use the View/BrowseTracker/Settings/BookMarks option. When you set a BrowseMark, it will actually be set as a bookmark and behave as one.

But you have to mark the line manually. My suggestion is to automatically mark the line, so you always have the possibility to easily jump back from the result-line to the initial line.

Is it possible to persist BrowseTracker bookmarks to a file?  I really like the functionality of this plugin, but when I close CodeBlocks, all the previous bookmarks are lost (i.e. when I open a file, it's always at the start of the file instead of the previous point where I was editing the file).

I don't understand your statement.

BrowseTracker saves and reloads bookmarks for all files in a project. It does not save bookmarks for files *not* in a project, or for bookmarks to a file modified outside the project.

Could you provide me with an example of how to re-create your problem.
Title: Re: BrowseTracker plugin
Post by: ironhead on April 02, 2008, 08:06:15 pm
I have a project with 14 directories in it.  If I open a given file and go to a certain line and close that file (but leave the project open), when I reopen the file it returns to that line.

example:

Open:
Sources
-- emerge
----main.cpp (click on line 47)
Close the file.

Re-open:
Sources
-- emerge
----main.cpp (editor returns to line 47)
Close the project.

Re-open the project and open:
Sources
-- emerge
----main.cpp (editor starts at the top of the file)

My understanding was that BrowseTracker would keep track of the fact that main.cpp was opened to line 47 and return to that the next time I opened main.cpp (even after closing and re-opening the project).  Perhaps I missunderstood the intent of BrowseTracker?

It is CodeBlocks' "layout" processing that repositions files on reopen. The reason it's not repositioning for you now is that you are closing the file before closing the project.

If you leave the file open, but just close the project, "layout" will reposition the file as you left it.

However, you could set a BrowseMark at a line, then close the file.
On reopen, Browsetracker will be able to reposition to the BrowseMark with Alt-Up/Down.

Also, your "misunderstanding" presents a good idea. I'll think on it.

I agree.  I would appreciate this extension greatly too.

Re-open the project and open:
Sources
-- emerge
----main.cpp (editor starts at the top of the file)

I cannot seem to recreate this problem.

I position to a line, close the file, then close the project.
When I then reopen the project, then reopen the file, the cursor is positioned correctly to the line I last had the cursor when it was closed.

Are you certain that when you closed the file that the *cursor* was on the line you wished to be recorded at close?

Are you certain that the file actually belongs to the active project? Only files added to the project are processed by layout.

Hrm... it's is indeed working as you describe.  The problem is that when I open the file again the cursor position is cleared.  Can it be setup that it doesn't clear the cursor position on load?

edit

It looks like a focus issue.  When I double click to open the file, the cursor line is selected, but the focus goes back to the file Management Pane, as a result the cursor line 'disappears'.

Turn on Settings->Editor->MouseDragScrolling->AutoFocusEditors

and see if that is more to your liking.

You might want to also try

Settings->Editor->MouseDragScrolling->FocusFollowsMouse

Hi !

All plugins are not installed by default.
Reionstall C::B and check the extra plugins you need (BrowseTracker is in the list).

Hi all,
i'm new to codeblocks and i think it's great. But i miss a function to "return to previous position" after a jump with the Find declaration/find implementation tools .... is there some plugin/codeblocks feature a haven't found?
thanks

finally i learned it!
thank you!

i have to hold a few my left mouse  button on the function call; after that i can click the right one and use the "find implementation" function;
now i can use Alt+Down to return to the previous position !

Great!

hello, I am a newer to CB. I download the cbBrowseTracker09.zip and I installed the libBrowseTracker.cbplugin. But CB shows a error msg that failed to load the plug in.
I am using Opensuse 10.3 and is it the reason that the differents that between linux & unix? if so, what should I do?
thanks very much

Post by: Jenna on June 01, 2008, 12:52:07 pm
If you use binary-packages,there should be a package called something like "codeblocks-contrib...", that contains all the contrib-plugins including browsetracker.

If you compile from source with "./configure" use "--with-contrib-plugins=BrowseTracker" to only build the browsetracker-plugins or "--with-contrib-plugins=all" to build all contrib-plugins, what I recommend to do.

If you compile C::B with C::B you have to build also the "ContribPlugins-unix.workspace" or at least the "BrowseTracker-unix.cbp" in "src/plugins/contrib/BrowseTracker/"

I wanted to build version 5549 on a linux server. Until now it was quite ok (my last build was in february but I forgot which svn number it was, sorry  :( ), but now I obtain a compile error when building BrowseTracker plugin with the standard distributed .cbp file.
Here is the full compile log :

Linux is Redhat 4.7, gcc version is 3.4.6 (I have other compile problems with gcc 4, but probably more related to the installation).

Without BrowseTracker, SVN 5549 compiles normally with all plugins.

I have no problems with Windows version.

I just can't get used to this BrowseTracker. There is a similar feature in IAR Embedded Codebench (or similar name), that's great.

The main differences are:
-there's no popup, just switch view on pressing ALT+Left/Right
-don't jump to the last editor, but to the last position - even if it's inside the same file;
 that way you can simply press ALT+Left after e.g. jump to declaration and you're back, no matter if the jump switched files
-ALT+Right works as expected, e.g. undoing what the last ALT+Left did

Actually I couldn't find out yet what ALT+Right is supposed to do with the CB BrowseTracker.

Still not correct in linux :
you have at line 79 in BrowseTracker.cpp :
#include "configmanager.h

but it should be :
#include "configmanager.h"

last " is missing.
After this correction, it compiles.

Thanks.

The behavior you want is like Visual Assist. All the edit position was recorded automatically, and it is easy to jump back after jump to declaration using ALT+left. (This behavior are very common, even in Acrobat reader, then I can use ALT+left/right to switch between nearly viewed PDF pages).

In current BowseTracker, you should use ALT+up/down to navigate in the same file.

For my person taste, I do suggest BrowseTracker can do this instead of holding down left mouse button to record a tracker position.  :D

I'm not sure Pecan can add this function to BrowseTracker.

Thank!
