Think about it...

Now you can go back in time to see your code's context (content of vars, etc) a few minutes ago, or last week! This is great for repeat loops, but it also has other uses. Best of all, this context data is stored in your tRev database and none of this even touches Rev IDE.

Super Helpful Tip

If you want to reset the context data for a breakpoint to empty, just use the Breakpoint Manager to delete it. This only deletes the breakpoint's data, but leaves the breakpoint itself in your code!

NOTE: setting a breakpoint in a long repeat loop can slow down your code's execution.

Set Browser's default action via Magic Menus

Check out the new preference that lets you alter the Browser's default action:

(download)

Change the Object Browser's default button

  • New preference allows the last Magic Menu choice to become the Browser default action.
  • Name of the default button then changes to the last Magic Menu choice.
  • This lets you do the same action repeatedly without using the Magic Menu.

New Double-click and return key functionality in browser

  • Double-click and return key in Browser lists carry out the current default action.
  • Double-click and return key in Snaps or Zoomed snaps do likewise.

Magic Menus in Snaps

  • Right click any control or non-control area in a Snap or Zoomed Snap for a Magic Menu.
  • Magic Menus work just as they do in the controls or cards lists. 

Fixes

  • Magic Menus no longer occassionally disappear when clicking an item in the stacks list.
  • Clips now play when one is selected and return key is pressed.
You will not need to download a new tRev app, but can just use Check for Updates from the Help menu or wait until tRev tells you there's an update available.

Magic Menus - Look Ma, No Mouse!

Let me wow you with Magic Menus now found in Build 319 of tRev:

(download)

New Magic Menu:

  • We needed a pop up menu for tRev lists and code that could be 100% keyboard initiated and controlled.
  • Right-click anywhere in a stacks, cards, clips, controls or handlers list and a magic menu will show.
  • The source code field also displays a magic menu with the right-click.
  • Type cmd+shift+m to make the magic menu appear/disappear without a mouse/trackpad.
  • Selection from the magic menu does what its name indicates.
  • Magic menu remembers what you last did in any magic menu.
  • Once open, magic menu can be operated with arrow keys to change selection and return to accept a choice.
  • Once open magic menu can be run using Quick Keys
  • Escape key will close magic menu without making a choice.

Colorize while typing enhancements:

  • When you drag and drop text within the source code field, it now colorizes the dropped text.
  • When you type a matched quote within an unmatched parenthesis, the colorization works properly.

General enhancements

  • Home, end, page up and page down keys now passed to Revolution for handling.
  • The handler list selection will change to reflect the new selections in the code field when you do the following:
    • do a find from the find pane
    • type command+up/down arrow
    • type the home, end, page up, page down keys on extended keyboards
  • When in Rev and property inspector is in front, type escape to dismiss it

Windows:

  • Always start tRev first.
  • Make certain the Rev IDE user extensions preference points to "My Revolution Enterprise" (use appropriate license type)

Known Issue:

  • We are having Windows start up problems again on some machines.
  • You may have to restart Rev again after starting tRev.
  • Then it works fine
  • I'll get this working properly early this week. 

The Quickstart docs have been updated to reflect these changes.
