Description

Exits hbIDE

Main Menu->Files->Exit

"X" button on Title-bar

Ctrl+Sh+W

Panel: Stats

Hosts two tabs:

New editor instance with title "Untitled" on the active panel.

MenuBar->Files->New->Source

Ctrl+N

At this invocation no syntax highlighting theme is assigned to the source. It is the responsibility of the user to save it with valid extension and then reopen the same to have theme activated.

File Open Dialog to select a source to be edited.

MenuBar->Files->Open

Ctrl+O

The selected file is tested against hbIDE's supported formats and an alert is issued if it does not matches and operation is abandoned.

Saves the active editing instance source on the disk.

MenuBar->Files->Save

Ctrl+S

The save operation is silent, no alert is issued.

Closes the active editing instance.

Esc

If the instance is in "Modified" state than an alert is issued to confirm if it be saved first before closing.

Print Preview Dialog with active editing instance contents.

Ctrl+P

Print Preview dialog offers a variety of options from controlled printing to export to various formats, such as PDF.

Compiles active editing instance if it is a .prg source.

Context-menu->Compile

MenuBar->Build-Compile to PPO

Context-menu->Compile to PPO

If compile succeeds, opens .ppo into a new editing instance.

Builds the "current" project.

MenuBar->Build->Build Project

If no project is set as "current" ( can be confirmed from status-bar panel ), a list of hosted projects is presented to select one.

If some source from this project is opened in any of the editing instances, and is in a "Modified" state, then thus source is saved before "Build" process starts.

This explanation holds good for next three options.

Builds current project and Launches it if successful.

MenuBar->Build->Build and Launch

Re-Builds the current project.

MenuBar->Build->Re-build Project

Re-Builds the current project and Launches it if successful
