Hi, Geanians, i have a small feature request for something which continually bugs me: when i double-click on a compile error message, it jumps to the correct line but i have to manually go click that line before editing. i would expect it to take the cursor to that line and give me input focus there (like [x]emacs does :). (i must admit that my first love is xemacs but i use geany extensively in trees which have JavaScript and/or HTML in them because [x]emacs can't indent either of those worth a damn, especially in mixed-mode files like PHP/HTML/JS.) :-?
Hi Stephen,
For the languages I use the compiler error does not indicate where on the line and often thats not really where the error is, its just where the compiler detected it, so you have to place the caret anyway.
I think the current behavior is ok, you already have your hand on the mouse ...
Of course the emacs behavior is because placing the cursor used to be done by keyboard, not by mouse.
Since you have been (mis)trained by emacs to keep your hands on the keyboard ;-), why don't you bind next error/previous error to keycodes and then you don't need to put your hand on the mouse at all.
Cheers Lex
