suggestions for future QB64

[madscijr]

the real issue of external editors is:
no parsing with debug... see Option _explicit  and Option _explicitArray for examples,
I dunno if in Notepad++ we can get a syntax helper, surely  we can get no a Debug module like that defined above.
Moreover I dunno if Notepad++ or other complex Multilanguage editors let us  navigating code like we can do in QB64 IDE (marking line of code or following the code jumping to SUB/Function or label and coming back in reverse order of our observation.

So when we talk of external professional editors, we must think if there was a way to show keywords with syntax, highlight keyword, suggest syntax to the coder, activate a module or rule as option _explicit, navigate the filecode following the flow of code and not the only typewritten order.
Getting these goals we can use with pair opportunities QB64 IDE and professional Editors to typewrite QB64PE code!

Yes, I've been using Notepad++, and it kicks off compile fine, but I do rely on QB64's IDE for syntax checking. It doesn't kill me to periodically copy/paste my code from NPP to QB64 to get a syntax check, but it would be nice all in one. 
 
I'm OK with the existing editor and can live without the multi-file (mainly since I use Notepad++). 
The one thing that would greatly improve the editor for me, would be the option to have standard Windows style cursor and select behavior, and keyboard shortcuts. 

Most importantly, the option to keep the editing cursor in its original location when you scroll off the page with the mouse wheel... Stuff like that causes some frustration. 

Hope this helps...
