Single vs multi window does not matter as long as the editor is up to scratch and I can view different panes/windows simultaneously and use the keyboard to switch focus between them.

Thank you for the update on progress and reasons for the delay. When you outline all the reasons, the delay is understandable. The problem, as I see it, is that until a better IDE is released the new user just sees a poorly executed environment without basic features. The new user does not know about the cool technology being worked on behind the scenes. The current approach sounds so ambitious I worry. It unfortunately reminds me of a Joel Spolsky post "Things You Should Never Do, Part I" I read many years ago. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html But not knowing how much more work the LiveCode team needs to do, I will wait patiently and hope my 2017 prediction is just pessimistic nonsense. -- Scott McDonald "Components, Controls, Tools and Resources for LiveCode" www.runrevplanet.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
