Making ATSynEdit

[Martin_fr]

Sounds like a misnomer? It does not actually move the selection (if only part of a line is selected)
It moves the lines with the selection.

You can add it to mantis as feature request. but it will probably be low priority.
This belongs to the things, that in the IDE you can do by recording/writing macros.

Same as things like: Add selection to existing clipboard (something that iirc emacs does)

Martin F,
what style of borders for each token is needed? token "aaaa" may have 4 borders (u/d/l/r),
borders have what styles:

solid line
dot line
....and?

SynEdit gives color for each border? (left green, right red..)

[Martin_fr]

Your choice...

Currently SynEdit only has one border color. But that is not a technical restriction, just the amount of properties needed.
 
The EditorOptions in the IDE can give ypou some ideas.

Or see TSynHighlighterAttributesModifier in components\synedit\synedithighlighter.pp and base classes for "Frame..."
FrameEdges should be replaced/extended by a set, instead of an enum



Maybe more important, if you support overlapping frames:
 

Code: [Select]

[ AAAA ( BBB ] CCCC )
"BBB" has both frames, of course the top and bottom will only be from one frame (unless there is an alpha channel).

But the right/left borders should all 4 be present.
