Hi Chris, I have pulled that latest changes in the qtide repository and built the binaries (for Linux) and can confirm the fix and the added menu items for Undo/Redo.
The issue with project build & run has been working for me for a while. Not sure if it changed or I just hadn't realised that I didn't have a project loaded when I reported it. I get that the path displayed to the open files is relative to the open project, it is just that if the path is long or I have a couple of files from outside the project open, then only 2 or 3 tabs are visible at once without having to scroll the Tabs left/right. Perhaps files from outside the project could have a maximum length of path shown, before it is truncated. To see the full path one could mouse-over the Tab? I agree that where the tabs are best opened is probably a matter of personal preference. Thanks for the option! Is the issue where lines that are run from the Edit window (or scripts loaded) are not being echoed in the Term window, still on the list of things to do?
