I've made two patches: bracket matching ---------------- the original version highlights just the matching bracket. my version highlights both the current and matching brackets. additionally when you are on the next character after a closing bracket, it works like if you are on that bracket. i think it works great, and _very_ usable. bracket jumping (Meta/Alt-B) is working the same way: if you are after a closing bracket, it jumps to its matching opening bracket. file position saving -------------------- the original version doesn't stores file position. my version, based on Max Schedrivy's patch above, can save file positions for the last 1024 files edited. Max's version just stored file line, i improved it to store column, too. file position saving can be turned on/off in the editor's configuration, at the "General" options. You can download my version from: http://www.wish.hu/mc-2002-11-20-17-patched.zip The version I've patched: http://www.wish.hu/mc-2002-11-20-17.tar.gz I'm not really tested them, I'm glad to get bug reports! I think no problem can be with bracket matching, but position saving is more difficult. Warning, warning! :)) Actually it was my first adventure in the world of C, these are my first usable lines in C, so please look my patches like this (I'm normally programming in the wonderful Perl). Additionally I'm not familiar in developing and distributing programs under Linux, so the downloadable version (the zip file) is all the files I got after a "make clean" command. Makefiles are still exists. I think I should remove the all and some other files, too, but I don't want to do it one-by-one, and don't know the way to do it automagically. If somebody can make a patch file from the above, or can make a diff, I think these patches can be useful for other users, too. Have fun with them! (If you find useful my patches, please, please tell me. :) I'm not on the devel list, just the mc@, so please send me a copy mails on that list about this thread - thanks.
