A word about the Lazarus editor / code tools
« on: January 15, 2019, 01:03:30 am »
Hello,

I just wanted to say I think the Lazarus IDE is very nice, and I am especially impressed by Code Tools. I'm not used to that much convenience from C++ IDEs. I literally just press [Ctrl+Shift+C] for anything and think "naah I bet it won't do that", but there you go it just did it... very convenient. I don't know if it's because Pascal syntax is easier to lex, but I really love that feature!

Cheers.

In part it's because that. A bigger part is due to the Lazarus developers being super-stars  ;D

Thank's for all the additional advice. On first sight, the ability to search all components at once seems very useful, too! Wish I had known that sooner.
