a nice principle is to have the UI duplicated: mousing, keyboarding, few mixes. Then all (most) in either.

That is, the metakey modifiers apply to single-clicking, not double-clicking, and that ctrl- and shift- have different meanings. This is more consonant with current Windows conventions. Also, "edit" is a nice productivity tool, and SHIFT-leftclick to edit a definition will be familiar with Dyalog users. Good idea, thanks. The Ctrl key is defined as suggested. For Shift, it is defined as search word assigned - the problem is that we don't know exactly where a definition is sourced, since there could be several such. It could be improved so that if there is only one hit, go to it. -- from bill lam <bbill....@gmail.com> reply-to Beta forum <beta@jsoftware.com> to beta@jsoftware.com date 17 May 2010 21:04 subject Re: [Jbeta] Gtk IDE ???, 18 ??? 2010, Sherlock Ric ?????(?): > On Win7, 32-bit > Choosing View|Toggle Line numbers in the edit Window without an open script > causes J to crash. > If a script file is open in the edit Window then it seems to work fine. > Ric source code are available in addons svn, do 'svn update' will fetch related into directory gui/gtk and gui/gtkide And then you may debug and patch. -- from Chris Burke <cbu...@jsoftware.com> reply-to Beta forum <beta@jsoftware.com> to Beta forum <beta@jsoftware.com> date 17 May 2010 09:31 subject Re: [Jbeta] Gtk IDE On Monday, May 17, 2010 08:14 PM, Sherlock, Ric wrote: >> From: Dan Bron Right now, the only complaint I have is that in the IJX window, pressing home brings me to the 0th column (left-hand-margin), so I have to hit it twice to get to the true beginning of the line.

Right double-click won't work, but I instead made it so that you need to hold down Ctrl (or Shift) for the double-click to load Find in Files, otherwise the word is selected as usual. -- from Don Guinn <dongu...@gmail.com> reply-to Beta forum <beta@jsoftware.com> to Beta forum <beta@jsoftware.com> date 17 May 2010 05:40 subject Re: [Jbeta] Gtk IDE Looks good. No comments yet except it would help if you would add the date and possibly time the download was created. That way one doesn't have to retrieve the download to see if it is newer than what was already downloaded. Kind of like the "Please listen to all the options as they have changed" message that's six months old. Also, looks like the J Beta page is out of date as it lists betas for several systems and does not reflect this download.
