...already integrated (since the day it was released) here. ;-)

I am tracking this component and updating my local C::B regularly so an official update will be far more easy. (Lessons learned form the past).

I looked through the new features in scintilla 2.0 and found the following feature I've been waiting for:

Virtual space allows selecting beyond the last character on a line.

This is a great feature if you want to select a block of text/code (eg, using shift+alt+ arrow keys).
How do I enable this feature in code blocks? (Is it available?)


Thank in advance.

 :)

No, not yet.

As MortenMacFly wrote, he updated it in his local copy of C::B.
We use a patched version of scintilla, so updating takes care and is not just copy and paste.

It's not yet 100% functional anyways (I tried already). But the scintilla team will son release a 2.0.1 I guess. So you'll have to wait anyways...

Indeed - that's the main driver for me keeping scintilla up-to-date. Unfortunately with 2.x.x the python script extracting the C++ wx interface is broken. I cannot register at wx bug tracker somehow, otherwise I had posed a bug.

...already applied in my working copy for 3 days now. If you obtain the sources via CVS you'll always be notified a little earlier. ;-)

What are the benefits from the user point of you once integrated in C::B ?

Hi Martin,

I have question regarding scintilla and CB editor. If I select a text in CB with the left mouse (holding the mouse) I can scroll one turn with the mouse wheel within the editor and then drop it at this position. It is not possible to scroll in continous mode. First I thought that this feature is related to DragScroll but Pecan told me that this feature has nothing to do with DragScroll. Then I tried the same with Notepad++ but there the scroll feature is not available if I drag a text. So my question is this drag and scroll support a Scintilla or a CB feature?

In the Scintilla 2.0 history I found the following entry

Code
Multiple pieces of text can be selected simultaneously by holding control whil dragging the mouse. Typing, backspace and delete may affect all selections together.

What does it mean?
