MacBook Pro - CodeBlocks not working fine

[HST]

Hello

I`m new in this bussines and i like to learn programming by codeBlocks.
I use an MacBook Pro with OS Ventura 13.1 and the CodeBlocks version 17.12, but there are some functions there are not working fine.

My questions:

1. is the version 17.12 the correct version of CodeBlocks for my Mac?
2. if i code something, the "autocomplete" window in CodeBlocks is just gray and there are no infos in. And i can`t close that window. I have to close the application and restart.

Thanks for support of a beginner.

I have absolute no idea about mac and mac versioning, but your version is pretty old, i think you can find newer nightly builds here:

but i do not know if they work on your OS...

A person built CB for a version of Mac link is posted here https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,25269.msg172258.html#msg172258

Correction: The link now only has directions on how to build CB on Macs.
Correction2: You have to look under folders to find the Mac Binaries.

Hello and welcome to the world of programming!

CodeBlocks version 17.12 should be compatible with Mac OS Ventura 13.1, so that should not be the issue. However, it's worth noting that CodeBlocks is not officially supported on macOS and there may be some issues with the software on that platform.

It sounds like you're experiencing a problem with the autocomplete feature in CodeBlocks. One potential solution is to try resetting the CodeBlocks configuration to its default settings. You can do this by going to "Settings" -> "Reset Configurations" -> "Reset all configurations". Keep in mind that this will reset all of your preferences and settings in CodeBlocks.

If resetting the configuration doesn't work, you could also try updating to a newer version of CodeBlocks or using a different code editor altogether. Some popular options for macOS include Xcode, Visual Studio Code, and Atom.

I hope this helps and best of luck with your programming journey!
