Some issues about IDE V4.53.00

Hi,

It cost me 2.000 Euro's to get the new uVision IDE with a 256Kb limit. I use the Keil uVision IDE for a few years with much pleasure. I found some issues with the new version V4.53.0.0 which I will share with you and I also send a ticket to Keil support.

Hi,

I'm using uVision V4.53.0.0.
I would like to share some things that I think should be corrected:
- clicking inside a source code, then scroll down, then use ALT+F+S to save the file not always highlights the menu bar 'File'. You can check it out by continuously left mouse click in the code and then press the left ALT key. You will see. (leaving me with a lot of 'fs' strings in the code)
- pressing CTL+F to find some string then after ENTER I would like this search window to disappear not blocking found text.
- almost ALL texteditors have the same problem: if I want to search for some text, when found, please show this text line in the MIDDLE of the screen in stead of at the top or at the bottom so I can see the surrounding code
- please make the files relocatable in the editor by dragging the file tab to the wanted position as I like to place the header files at the right of the souce (.c ) file. (this worked in some older versions)
- How can I disable Outlining for all sources once and for all?

I think it's a great IDE and I like it very much: just my two cents.

Best Regards,

Henk

  • I don't think the uVision is great.
    Overstating it: vi offers more comfort ;)
    The debbuger is great, but the editor is the weak part of the IDE.

    We are living in 2012 and some nice features like intellisense in the visual studio IDE are just state of the art and come in handy for the programmer. Does Keil offer any of these things...no

    Another bug in the editor:

    if you fold in a method or a function and afterwards delete this folded line, the editor only deletes the first line and not the whole method/function. If you try to compile your source again you get error messages, because the function declaration is missing.
    but you can't expand the function/method, because there is no icon to unfold anymore. you just see that there is something wrong, because some linenumbers are missing
