The Sinclair QL Forum

For those interested, here is my SciTE editor current state (win), usable for rendering this "simplified ssb" as VisualBasic (vb.properties) lexer. I hope configs are applicable to linux also.

Andrew, thanks a lot for reply. I need to clarify more. I touched QL only for few minutes in mid 80ties, when one friend got one (and was alone here), while we all had Atari XL (mine) or Spectrum or Sharp MZ-800 (they played with CP/M also). At that time, we were experimenting with graphics and game...

hi Andrew and all, as I am still learning QL SuperBasic, still investigating deeply, I played with QLC code in my "simplified SSB" without line numbers more, its almost completelly reformatted for more linear style (far less inline ":"), only procs/funcs arguments cause long line...

hi guys, as I am using my tiny simplification of SSB now for QL(X)Commander code mods, I am also on background thinking about some extensions to SSB concept (it is somewhat possible to peek into it in what I shared to QLCommander thread); would be nice to have syntax coloring editor for such SSB cod...

sure, just now realized that SB with added spaces (and more lines) is also larger in tokenized form, so here is the motivation, probably, ya ... okay thats the reason why formatter, to be able to compress code to the ugliest form in need )) but thats NOT my motivation (hating js, btw); I can imagine...

Hi Derek, many thanks for this info about QD, I started to work without any knowledge )) ... ya, I am also not so QL purist yet, being win guy for decades, addicted, but shocked that QPC2 runs things FAST even now on my i7 intelNUC crippled by switched of turbo because of damaged fan (replacements f...

if you want to wait, I will complete manual reformat of this for sure, to have base for auto formatter compare, but it may not be wanted by everyone, I realized its quite common to glue things in SB this way ... I am afraid, its not for me, especially while learning to read the code ... ))

excuse me, I forgot to include entire my folder working with compiled bas files; using this you can by Enter open also my ssb into bas and do quick save by "s" for example ... this is single thing added for now, + the "c" for test recompiling qlc after edits by desktop SciTE ... ...

here is attached what I have now, using that simplified SSB (also the code for LoadSsbFile) + also my SciTE config files for vb/cpp and global with semantic colors, I use them everywhere unified, know that nnotepad++ is based on scintilla too, but I am decades using raw SciTE as editor, so ... only ...

thanks Andrew, sure, I will post it to github for sure, may be I will divert from QDOS qith QLXC, but want to do it clean/separated and for sure with credits over GPL; for readability, I mean mostly long lines which dont fit into WTV window of internal editor, trying to do it more linear top-down th...
