But that will add more dependencies to codeblocks (gtk dependencies) Maybe that's a problem, also merging that to work with wxwidgets could be troublesome

Whoa whoa wait...
i said wxScintilla is not supported. But we can still use Scintilla!

wxScintilla and Scintilla are *TWO ENTIRE DIFFERENT PROJECTS*. wxScintilla is a wrapper around Scintilla. In fact I managed to compile cb with the latest version of scintilla (1.76).

(Perhaps this would be a good opportunity to update, too ;-) )

dmoore:
I wasn't trying to imply cb should abandon (wx)scintilla, rather that the cb base should be flexible enough to accomodate more than one source editor control. the news about wxscintilla just highlights the risk of being unnecessarily tethered to upstream projects.

wrt gtksourceview, it would be a natural fit on linux. wxwidgets on linux is wxgtk after all. if it was a plugin, would it matter if it wasn't multi-platform? (still have scintilla). gtksourceview might not be better than scintilla, just an alternative (and who knows what the future may bring).

JGM:
what would be very cool is to implement a native wxwidgets text editor using the drawing functions  :lol:
