Nice one Karlis & the team

Only had a few minutes to "play" with the dev_alpha (unfortunately have to do some work!!!!)

Not found any bugs yet, but one new feature is really useful for me, the ability to create a new file in File Explorer.

Also the improved Bracket highlighting now works with JS + HTML is a nice touch, also now works in ASP files.

Another good fix is Ctrl+G no longer puts the focus on the File Explorer

Shift + left arrow and shift + right arrow doesn't work for selection. It select only one char and when I press arrow again it deselect current char and select another one.

The similar problem is with Ctrl+shift+arrow when selecting tag. It selects the first < char and when pressing right arrow again it deselect < and select tag text.

Sorry for my english.

Does look like a little bug you found there mata, just tried it myself.

Basically cannot select text using SHIFT and left/right arrow keys.
SHIFT + up/down works okay.

I'm getting an error trying to use the php tab in the code explorer. When I click on it I get a message box saying "Unable to insert an item". Plus nothing shows up in the list. Also this screws up the editor as moving the mouse over the page acts like you are dragging the mouse. ie you have clicked at the bottom of the page and are trying to select multiple lines. Once you do click somewhere in the page to try and insert you get the error message again and you are back into this dragging mode (if that makes any sense). The only way to get out of it is to close the page.

Okay .. just did some more investigation and it only happens if you have php code in the page and you try to access the php tab in the code browser.

this is due to the nifty addition of using the arrow key to unselect a block and moving the caret to that side...

i hope there is a way around this so they aren't a trade off

Yes I found this as well and as I am using this section most of the time it pretty much makes it unuseable

It appears to parse the Includes and Requires. It then gets the first function name and inserts it into the variables section and then pops up the error. (Hope this helps).

On other fronts, the built in php preview is pretty good. I will keep looking as time permits.

Good. The Shift + arrow bug is a good find, please keep posting. I'd appreciate if you could post each bug in a separate topic.

I could not reproduce the php explorer bug though, please give me step by step instructions + example php file.

Thanks!

Recreating the bug is easy and you dont need an example file. Create a new file and add in some php code (it must contain at least one variable though) then select the php tab of the code explorer then bingo.

The error will not occur immediately if you already have the php tab selected when the php code is added. You must first select one of the other tabs then come back to the php one.
