Few minor quirks that get in the way
kfs1:
Wondering if anyone can help me work around these or if I should report them as bugs/wants:
1. What's the opposite of ctrl-capslock? I can't find it, having a zoom out shortcut with no (obvious) zoon in shortcut is kinda annoying.
2. The function-call parameter tool tip is great unless you type something that triggers auto-complete which cancels the tooltip.
3. When using horizontal split view, ctrl-z always focuses the bottom window while ctrl-y focuses the top window.
4. I really miss being able to have two different files displayed at once; I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this with CB (its what I thought split view would do)
5. Our version control system (Source off Site) uses Read Only to indicate an unlocked file. Code Warrior and several other IDEs tell you this and let you unlock the file; I like the read-only implementation in C::B but am wondering if I can't make it ask me if I want to unlock files when I try to edit a Read Only file that belongs to me...

At least two points I can offer:

This isn't possible (supported) for various reasons.

Correct me if I'm wrong, bit I believe it isn't as simple as to set the read-only flag to inform about being an editor. IMHO this requires a call to the repository and not only un-setting the read-only flag as this is a pure local functionality. How should others be informed than that you are the editor then? I believe you would have to implement a call to *your* version control provider for this file. A simple plugin can do.
With regards, Morten.

Have a look at Settings/Editor, then click on Keyboard shortcuts on the left column.
You can then set your shortcuts to the zoom in/out functions.

I miss this feature too. Really sad not being possible, but I understand the difficulty as the notebook has been chosen instead of the classic MDI model.

Is it ever planned? For users with widesceen monitors or multiple monitors this kind of criples CB. The tab switching sort of covers for it, but not totally.

Why the file is read only isn't actually relevant, I'm just saying that it would be nice to have an option to let me make files writable when I try to modify a file that is read-only. (But since I mentioned it, I actually run their GUI client on a separate desktop to check out files when I need to, but sometimes I want to edit a file without checking it out; e.g. add a quick debug statement or something)
There are also a number of other times where you might come across a read-only file that you want to edit; if you copied code from the CD of a book onto your local disk to try out, for instance.
