Fixed Capitalize API option niggle

[Paul59]

Not being used to capitalized keywords, I though this option was pretty handy until I worked out why it was causing my program not to build. I'd added a keypress option to ExitApp() and imported brl.process as required but of course it became brl.Process Changing it to lower case 'p' doesn't help because as soon as I use the cursor keys to move up or down a line it gets recapitalized. Kind of makes capitalize API option redundant unless it can be set to work only after space/return/parenthesis is typed?

What IDE do you use? TED? I can't reproduce that behavior in TED. I use Mollusk and haven't had capitalization issues for a while now. But if I remember correctly, restarting the IDE or rebuilding the help files and restarting solved the problem...

It's Ted V2018-08-10, I downloaded CX yesterday.

EDIT: I'm on Linux Mint - relevant?

 

[Holzchopf]

Hmm yes I guess this might be relevant. I'm not sure tho, maybe Mike knows more about TED and could help. As far as I know, capitalization and highlighting is done based on the files decls.txt and index.txt located in docs/html in your Cerberus X home directory. Can you upload those two files here so I can take a look and see if they differ from the ones I've got here? Maybe this will give us a clue.

You should be able to work around this behaviour by using the mouse to reposition the cursor after you corrected it. The auto capitalization is triggers by key input I think.

It is a problem with the inconsistant capitalization of the whole CX api. Also when an API call has the same name like a module as you have experienced in this case. You will find this in various modules sadly. It could be fixed but then it would break a lot of code from the past. Maybe a change request for CX2 ?!?

I see, seems like I'll have to learn by trial and error!

I will see what I can do about it. Btw. I conside this a bug in Ted so I will move this topic.

 

[Paul59]

I suppose this confusing syntax highlighting is part of the same problem (taken from the 'directlight' mojo 2 example):

I've spotted various bits of superfluous code in some of the examples I've looked at - would you like me to edit any I find and submit them to you for future versions of CX?

 

[MikeHart]

Only in the examples please. Ted should react accordingly, means if there are several versions of the keyword, it should not change it if there is a match.

 

[Holzchopf]

I've examined the decls.txt and index.txt you posted. They look fine. Also, I can't reproduce the behaviour you're experiencing with those files =/ thus, I can't help you here, I'm out. Sorry
