« on: November 19, 2020, 03:17:25 pm »
Hi guys,
I wanted to present my latest creation on this forum. PiNote is a free source code editor that supports several languages. Running on Windows, Linux and Raspberry Pi. Written in free pascal and Lazarus IDE, use the SynEdit component with extended syntax highlighter modules.

This is the languages and assembly ​​currently supported:
Ada, Adobe Actionscript, 68HC11 CPU, 8051 MCU, ARM V7 CPU, ATMega MCU, PIC16 MCU, PIC18F MCU, PIC32MX MCU, Motorola 6800 CPU, Motorola 68000 CPU, Motorola 6809 CPU, 65xx/85xx NMOS CPU, ST6 MCU, ST7 MCU, TMS9900 CPU, X86 CPU, Z80 CPU, C#, C/C++, CSS, CMake, COBOL, D language, Freebasic, Go language, Haskell, HTML, INI file, Inno setup script, Java, Javascript, Lua, MSDos batch script, Objectpascal, Perl, PHP, Po, Powershell, Prolog, Python, Ruby, SQL, Tcl/Tk, TeX, Unix shell script, Verilog, VHDL, Visual Basic, XML.

Here you will find the precompiled binaries and the source: https://pinote.sourceforge.io/index.html

I hope you find my work useful.

I've just happened to look for a source code editor for FreeBASIC. I have some time for this year end, I think it is good to try new things. A week ago I was interested to try FreeBASIC, unfortunately I couldn't find a good editor for it that runs on Linux.

You mentioned PiNote supports FreeBASIC. How to configure it to make it to work with FreeBASIC.

Thank you for sharing PiNote.

PiNote supports FreeBasic as syntax highlighting. However in the Tools-> External tools section you can configure external executables or scripts. I have never worked with FreeBasic but have only implemented syntax highlighting.

Very impressive. I could compile it without any issue (on Linux Manjaro 64). Now I will take time to try all the features.

Thank you for sharing.
My projects are on Gitlab and on Codeberg.

Thanks for sharing,
I attach an edited messages unit which tidies up the English a bit.

Nice editor.

Just a suggestion: add accelerators to menu items and dialog buttons. It's not nice having to reach for the mouse in the middle of a keying session just to do something, and not all people remember all the shortcuts. ;)

Another small sugestion: in sourceforge, set the language to Pascal or Object Pascal (if it exists). Now it's set as "Lazarus", which is not a language at all

Most FBers use Geany it seems. I personally don't see anything attractive in FB, except the practical results of how a C backend works out (and I'm not impressed so far)

Hmm, this reminds me, do we actually have a good syntax highlighter test file with corner cases etc ? Martin?

Nice looking editor.

Deleting word has error. Deletes wrong word.
Does accessing menu with pressing Alt key isn't thing anymore?
How to switch between open tabs (keyboard only)?
