RE: Highlighting trailing spaces
Hi! new (ok new for me:)) mcedig shows DOS newlines with ^M on black backround. it's 1. looks ugly 2. messes with column number, it's 1 char in file but it shift column by 2 (ok it's rare to have ^M in the middle of a line) imho: I like this feature. Some of my files are very ugly because I both edited under DOS and under Lx, and some ^M are in the middle of the line. Before this feature I didn't realized it, nothing was showed, and Perl was not like it. After I'm able to see it, i can fix it easily (see later). 1. it should be made optional Anyway, I agee. 2. it should be 1 char wide, is show only 'M' on black background (and same for other 32 control codes) It seem's to be a good idea. 3. mcedit should support editing files with CR+LF newlines (so pressing ENTER should insert not only #10, but #13 too, and should hide ^M's, handle them as part of the newline code) It's OK and a good feature, but please don't hide them when they're in the middle of the line... :) MC did it, and I didn't realized where are they, what's the problem. And a question. Is there any way I can search'n'replace the ^M characters with nothing in my code? I didn't found the way for it, and it's not a good game to do it by hand. I know I know that I can write a program for it, but I think the answer shouldn't be this.

Highlighting trailing spaces
Hello, Andrew! I have noticed that you added highlighting for trailing spaces in C. I believe that your patch should be reverted, at least for the 4.6.0 release. I don't want to see it reported like a bug. Some people (myself included) use the internal editor to read other people's code. I don't want to fix minor sloppiness in the code I didn't write. Highlighting for trailing spaces reduces readability of the code. If my job is to fix a bug and submit a minimal patch to the author, the red tails will distract me from my job. From the mcedit manual: Also remember that the aim of syntax highlighting is to make programming less prone to error, not to make code look pretty. I would also add not to enforce formatting rules. It's annoying and should be applied only to the person who is fully in control of the code. mcedit just cannot do it. That's my opinion, but I'd like to hear from other developers. I'm leaving the patch in CVS for now, but I'll remove it before the release unless somebody comes with serious arguments in favor of keeping it. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
