[Gambas-user] New Editor Side Bar

I added a new property to the Gambas code editor. I hope that I have
sufficiently debugged it to avoid any inconvenience. This bar is drawn
from the vertical kate scroll bar. It displays a preview of the entire
code of the file. Of course as I coded in Gambas it is not really a
preview but rather a simplified rendering taking into account the
indentation and the length of the lines. A text rendering would have
cost far too many resources. Some line property remains however
highlighted as the lines in comment and in the margin the information
if the row is changed. The marked lines are represented by a yellow
line.


When moving the cursor, the first and last lines of the displayed area
are indicated by a tooltip. When browsing the bar, a mini editor shows
the code present at the position indicated by the mouse on the bar. I
added two features. Ctrl + Click moves the editor directly to the line
below the mouse pointer. Ctrl + Alt + Click Sets the "magnifying"
editor to where it is. This makes it possible to have the code portion
under the eyes. Just click on the "magnifying" editor to hide it.

Give me your impressions, and especially remount me any problem as
quickly as possible.

Regards,
