RE: [lazarus] Question of feature: code browser
Btw, the following code from some project of mine may be handy in this case
(esp. if Lazarus has option to put shortcut keys in tooltip [hint] for a
menu item - else modify appropriately to get the shortcut key and print its
name too)
Change the LogoPrint to some text dumping function of yours and call
printMenuHelp(yourMainMenu) to print all menu items in a nested way and show
their hint (and shortcut key if you modify it appropriately)
procedure TScriptForm.printMenuItemHelp(const m:TMenuItem;const
depth:integer);
var
i:integer;
pad:string;
begin
if not m.Visible then exit;
if depth0 then
begin
pad:=DupeString(' ',depth);
if depth=1
then pad:=pad+'* '
else pad:=pad+'+ ';
if m.Caption'-'
then LogoPrint(pad+m.Caption+' -- '+m.Hint)
else LogoPrint(pad+'-'); //menu item is a separator
end;
for i:=0 to m.Count-1 do
begin
printMenuItemHelp(m.Items[i],depth+1);
if depth=0 then
LogoPrint('');
end;
end;
procedure TScriptForm.printMenuHelp(const m:TMenu);
begin
printMenuItemHelp(m.Items,0);
end;
procedure TScriptForm.mnuHelpMakeMenuHelpClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
printMenuHelp(mainMenu1);
end;

Subject: RE: [lazarus] Question of feature: code browser
find implementation has no menu item, because IMO no one
would use it
via the menu.
What do you mean? It should show on the context menu when you
right click a symbol in the source code editor I believe.
Isn't Find Declaration showing there at Lazarus? (as done in
Delphi). Not all people want (or can) use keyboard shortcuts,
sometimes they're forced to stay away from kbd as much as
possible for health reasons. Also when you have speech
control s/w, it usually can read context menus, but can't
guess keyboard mappings of some app.
Where should we put the 'Lazarus IDE shortcut reference card'?
It wouldn't hurt, but it should be interactive (that is the
titles displayed next to the shortcut keys on the reference
card should be clickable in order to simulate pressing of the
respective shortcut key combination)

This should enable you to create a nice reference chart on the fly, and generate e.g. a fpDoc table from this chart.

Do you mean the View - Code Explorer?
1. Any-one work[ed,ing] on this?
No.
2. Can I use VirtualTreeView as a new component/source dependency to
implement such a feature? (It has everything required to build such a
tool.) If no, what should be used?
Yes. But then it will be an external plugin.
3. I was planning to develop this in another form, then dock that form
in the UnitEditor if desired. I know this mechanism is not working
well right now, but some patches are working... Should this avenue be
kept?
Yes. I'm currently fixing bugs, but Docking is definitely one of my next
goals.
4. I'm sure there are already functions and tools to get information
about a source file's structure (interface, implementation,
initialization, finalization) but where is it?
codetools
5. I'm sure there are already functions and tools to get all the type
/ classes / procedures / functions in the interface section of a
source file... but where is it? (I assume that because of
code-completion Ctrl+c that works well.)
See the code explorer for an example.
6. I'm sure there are already functions and tools to get all the types
/ var / procedures / functions present in the implementation part of a
source file... but where can I find these?
See the code explorer for an example.
7. Any function to detect {$i include.inc} in a source file?
All codetools support include files.
(I
personally hate these, but I know someone talked about code-folding
such include files: that would be awesome,
Yes, but it would require a lot of changes to synedit.
especially if a search in a
document would extend into the .inc files too...
Use Search - 'Find in files'.
Otherwise: Extend Find/Replace to use functions of 'Find in files'.
this is another
feature I want to work on, because searching is a pain...
Ehm, what and how do you search?
