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.
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
let me add another item:
when searching for some text which contains a point '.' like l_F081vuAppErrRpt.u16ModNum it will NOT be found.
Two further points concerning the find window (additionally to the ones I reported some days ago in my 4.53 wish list): - It should be possible to cancel a running search (If I by some accident search for "int" in all files, I need to wait quite long, until the list is filled with its 10000 entries - I did not find a way to break this (it would be helpful, if the status line would show some info like "ESC to cancel search ...")) - Search in "Word mode" does not work correctly for "Find in files" - e. g. if I search for "int" in "Word mode" in my code, then it finds only a very small part of all occurrencies of int - possibly it has some problems with tabs - but I did not investigate this further (anyway strange, as I use "insert spaces for tabs").
... sorry but I do not agree that the find window should close on find - it just should possibly move out of the way, as in Visual C, this would be nice. (Especially the replace window should not close, I often want to replace several things in a selection, and then it is necessary the the replace window keeps open).
okay, I agree that the search window should not close.
Another issue:
Searching strings greater than 43 characters will truncate to 43 characters. I use large constant names like: ENU_MEC_COM_SHEET_PARAMETER_SET_000_COLUMN_1_OF_3_CHECKSUM_ERROR so it will find all that have: ENU_MEC_COM_SHEET_PARAMETER_SET_000_COLUMN_1 in it. Its annoying...
The string length is limited by the size of the edit box in the search window.
Find in Files can now cancel a long search, just open the find in files window again.
Find in Files has the behavior of hiding the search window after pressing enter.
