  • [SOLVED] Some feedback for Embedded Studio

    Hello,

    I have some feedback for Embedded Studio:
    • The syntax highlighting of the digit separated numbers looks wrong:

      Could you fix that?

    • Embedded Studio does syntax highlighting in doxygen comments which is very helpful, but sadly not all variations are working:

      Why is only the second variant highlighted, could you add the syntax-highlighting also for the other variants?

    • By the way, could you add syntax highlighting for the types from stdint.h? Having them highlighted like native types would be very helpful.


    • In addition, when excluding a file via context-menu in the project explorer, the options under the note are not updated. This is a bit confusing; I think it should be available immediately.


      No node information:

      After reloading the project:

      The Information is available:

      For this the ‘Options Under Node’ or ‘Options in Folder’ must be enabled in the project explorer settings:

    • Some icons are not adopted to the dark theme, which make them hard to recognize, would be amazing to update those:

    • One small thing, I recognized as I copied a formular to a comment which contains Unicode characters: The Unicode characters are not counted when a selected text is highlighted:

      Also insert and edit is not working correctly

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your feedback.
    Only some of the issues were reproducible for me.
    See my attached screenshot.
    Could you share your editor and font settings. Which ones did you change from default?

    We will add them to our wishlist.

    Its reproducible and looks like a bug. Will be fixed.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for providing the settings file.
    Both remaining issues were also reproducible now and are noted.

    For completeness. Issue 1 was only reproducible with Dark Mode on.
    The last issue was only reproducible when Text Editor Encoding was set to UTF-8. When set to Default this issue did not appear.

    Best regards,
    Nino

  • Hello,

    little follow up regarding the unicode characters.
    This is happening because a proportional character is being used in a fixed pitch font.
    Try Setting the Text Editor > Visual Appearance > Font Rendering environment option to Proportional should make the editor work as expected.
    We'll see if we can improve the detection of proportional characters.

    Best regards,
