Hi First of all I'd like to say how impressed I am with geany. I ran it and it went KAPOW!! I've been using emacs for the past 7 years. Every once in while i try to break away and use something more modern like anjuta or codeblocks but I always revert to emacs. I've been using geany for a week now. So far no emacs =) Anyways I saw a request for code navigation and I wanted it myself so I hacked up back and forward buttons. Right now, it only changes the history when you go to a definition or declaration from the context menu, but I'm open to suggestions on this. Also, if the file is no longer open, it removes it from the queue and goes nowhere. If anyone is interested I'd be willing to polish this off and submit it for entry into geany. dave

Sounds good, please do :) Just submit it when it's stable, then any further improvements in functionality can be sent separately. Regards, Nick

OK. My code seems pretty stable now. I read the hackers guide and figured I should create a navqueue.c file and put the functionality in there. Its only five functions so it could easily be moved somewhere else if you feel thats appropriate. I've attached an svn diff and the two new files. I'm gonna tweak it out some more and and some options but that'll come later. Also, I have about a billion and 3 different features I'd like to see in geany (and I'm willing to work on any/all of them). How should I go about proposing them all? Should I submit each of them into bug tracking or should I put it all into a mailing list post? cheers, dave On 5/28/07, Nick Treleaven <nick.treleaven(a)btinternet.com> wrote:

Thank you very much. It applied smoothly, great. Added in SVN r1590. What I changed(in case someone is interested in): - moved the toolbar buttons to the right of the undo/redo buttons - added an option to hide the toolbar buttons - small code format changes in navqueue.c|h (nothing big) - moved locally used variables and definitions from navqueue.h to navqueue.c - before adding a new position(history entry), another one is created pointing to the current file before switching, I think this is more intuitive - all the other changes I forgot to mention ;-)

I think sending to this list is better because further discussions are easier and are read by more people. If you experience problems sending attachments, your mail will be hold in a queue and I get informed and I will accept the mail manually (happens with big attachments, IIRC bigger than 50Kb). So don't be afraid and be patient if your mail doesn't appear immediately on the list. Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.key

Awesome. Thanks for adding this. On 6/2/07, Enrico Tröger <enrico.troeger(a)uvena.de> wrote:

Awesome! Adding the current position before switching is a good idea. I was planning to do it myself but I was debating on how to do it. A few other things I had in mind for it are: - check to see if the pos were adding is already at navq[0] (to avoid side by side duplicates) - allow back and forward to be keybound - add to nav queue when: - clicking on a file in the compiler msgs window - clicking on a symbol in the symbols list - clicking on a line in the search results - jumping to a line(?) - clicking on a file in the open files tree (?) - switching to a different tab(?) - searching within a file(?) The ones with ? I'm not so sure about. Maybe the should be optionized. I will play around with it and see how they work. dave

I think this is what I meant with the TODO in navqueue_new_position()?

I added keybindings in SVN r1593.

- add to nav queue when: - clicking on a file in the compiler msgs window - clicking on a symbol in the symbols list - clicking on a line in the search results

Agree with the above ones. Would be very cool.

I'm also not sure about these ones. Let's see if anyone else posts an opinion ;-). If you need any help or have questions regarding the implementation, just ask. Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.key

Just built Geany.exe (obviously on Windows). In order to get a build, I had to add navqueue.o to the list of objects in src/makefile.win32. Please add that to the ToDo list. Haven't had time to try it out much, but the idea sounds wonderful. chuck Enrico Tröger wrote:

I've added symbol list support, and preventing duplicates in the queue. I guess adding compiler and search results support might be good, although would they clutter up the queue? They seem to be temporary items, whereas tags are more likely to be returned to. Also we might want to limit the queue length - e.g. discard the earliest item once we reach say 25 items.

I'm not sure. Compiler messages could be nice but yes they are not that consistent. But maybe we could use some smart code which removes all navigation items in the queue from previous compiler messages. But to be able to do this, the queue items need some information about the source of the item. I don't know whether it is good idea at all. Seems like big overhead for little use.

I think so too. 25 seems like a reasonable limit although form me personally it could be a bit lower or we just make as a preference. Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.key Powered by Debian GNU/Linux, GnuPG and Sylpheed.

I think if we add Previous Message and Previous Error commands then these should be sufficient, and that would keep the queue clean.

OK. I think queue items don't use much memory. Regards, Nick

Just got a chance to use Dave's code navigation functions. GREAT! That was one of the items on my "wanted features" list. Thanks. chuck Dave Moore wrote:

OOPS! Sorry about the last post. Apparently sending tar balls causes your message to disappear but not the attachment? My code seems pretty stable now. I read the hackers guide and figured I should create a navqueue.c file and put the functionality in there. Its only five functions so it could easily be moved somewhere else if you feel thats appropriate. I'll upload the files to the sourceforge enhancement request. I'm gonna tweak it out some more and and some options but that'll come later.
