console in IDE #41

Open blackborn66 opened 1 year ago

some little problems ...

If the IDE window is wider then 80 characters (I often use SuperHires mode 1280x512), the messages wraps unneeded.

If the compiler message wraps, then one character is missed. In 640x512 are missed more characters - "missing uments" as an example

The produced tab characters in "TRACE a, b, c" should be used like in PRINT - maybe replaced by one SPACE as a simple solution first

The console has only one size. If I write in an extern editor, often I have to fix a lot of small mistakes afterwards - typos, missed THEN after IF, and some more infamous things ;) It would be easier with a little bigger window size, or without unneeded wraps. Sometimes the first (and most important) message scrolls to far up and I have to fiddle with the mouse to get it. Maybe the ESC key could switch between NO window, 1/4 screen height, 1/2, 3/4 It would be helpful also while using the debugger with lot of variables

BTW: we could "filter the noise": if the actual file is compiled - the path and file name is only noise - nice to have! BTW: the console should be usable by keyboard - maybe after implementing mouse clicks in the editor - nice to have!
