In another discussion RhoSigma reminded us that he built a QB64 config for NotePad++:
https://staging.qb64phoenix.com/showthre...epad%2B%2B
I'm working on a library that has at present well over 5000 lines of code and growing. I decided to give RhoSigma's Notepad++ config a whirl and it's great!
I broke my library up into modules (.BM files) and $INCLUDE them in the main module. I loaded each .BM extension file into separate NotePad++ tabs and use the main library code in the QB64 IDE. This is working out really well.
When I make a change in one of the NotePad++ .BM files and introduce an error, after switching back to the IDE the IDE still informs me in which .BM file the error occurred and in which line number. I jump back over to NotePad++, click the appropriate tab, scroll down to the line number and make the corrections/changes.
I highly recommend giving this a try. It has completely changed my programming flow in a very positive way. I have a two monitor setup but this could easily work on a single monitor setup as well.
I'm not using NotePad++ as a replacement for the IDE. I still love the QB64PE IDE but RhoSigma's config for NotePad++ makes an excellent IDE enhancement tool.
This config had to have taken a great deal of time and patience to develop and I would like to thank RhoSigma for doing this.
