Repeat loop/ IF statment tab arrow indicators for BST?

yingster

One feature that was really nice in the Propeller Tool was the little arrow indicators that would show what is being controlled by the statement.

Being a Linux user, BST is my choice of IDE for programming. It seems like the arrow feature is not available with BST.

I have tried "CTRL + I" like a windows user would but this was a no go.

Reading though the manual and searching the forum have turned up no results.

Is this a simple thing to turn on? Or is a feature that is not there?

If it is not a current feature is it easily added in a future release?

It's not there. BST (Brad's Spin Tool) was developed by BradC to provide support for Spin and assembler programming for Linux and the MacOS as well as Windows. He hasn't been adding any new features for some time. Sorry.

However, there is an IDE called PZST that is very slick, will highlight tabs and uses BradC's Spin compiler (BSTC) to do the compilation.
Runs on Windows and Debian Linux at least.

One can always hope for a it in a future release.

Looking at PZST now, it does have some nice features.
Having the same program accross both Windows and Linux would be handy.

Playing with it more as I type this and it is looking better and better.
It might even be worth the switch.

BradC did a great job in creating BST and the command line compiler BSTC. If it were not for having those tools on Linux I may well have given up with the Prop. He was very responsive to bug reports and feature requests for a long time but sadly seems to have got tired of all that and gone very quite. Well, I'm only guessing at that and would not be surprised if it were so.
