Subject: [9fans] Acme button 2 argument expansion: feature or bug?
Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2005 07:28:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1be4ac7a0db7deea32d263679da4c1e6@telus.net> (raw)
I've been using gdb a lot with acme lately, and setting breakpoints by
line number. I thought I'd do this most easily by doing an Edit = to
find the source line then click on the result in the +Error window, and
middle-click/left-click chord on the convenient "break" I've left lying
around my debug window's tag line.
But the expansion for the middle button doesn't tack on the : and line
number.
So I thought I'd just select the whole line and do the chord, but the :
and line number get chopped off my selection!
Is there a rationalle for trimming my selections when chording 2/1?
Otherwise I'll fix it and submit a patch.
Less importantly, most of the code I have to deal with is in C++, evil
as it is, but the expand function doesn't know about ::, which makes
selecting methods more difficult than it needs to be. I'm more than
willing to add that support if someone doesn't convince me I'm wasting
my time :-)
Thanks,
Paul
