Title: What I'd like to see in Pelles C IDE
Post by: Freddy on January 10, 2006, 05:10:08 PM

Hi Pelle!

Here are a few things I miss in Pelles C IDE:
* Bold and italics for special keywords in syntax highlight.
Like this:
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   printf("Hi!\n");
   return 0;
}



* Can create/load/save custom syntax highlight themes
* A package manager that can download and install updates to the IDE and compiler and also install new library like allegro, SDL, zlib, etc... (That's why I'm still using Dev-c++ for some things like game development)

I think only these for now.
Pelles C is the best programming IDE I've ever seen. If it had these features (especially the package manager/downloader)  I would completely switch to Pelles C for all my development.

Thanks

OK, maybe.

Hm... how often do you change a theme...? ;-)

Updating the tools like this have been on my wishlist for years. Not sure when it will happen. Other packages are more problematic, I think...

Thanks.
