CTRL Z or undo not working right

[jordi]

Hi,

For some reason, with Justabasic 2 and in two different computers, when I am editing a file, and press CTRL-Z or click undo in the menu of JustBasic, it doesn't do undo. Sometimes it doesn't do anything, others it pastes something, or acts like paste...

How can I solve this weird behavior?

Thank you.

Known longstanding bug, because of underlying toolset.
If it really bothers you try using external editor - I use Notepad ++ for big programs.
(set in menu, Setup\Preferences\Reload file on Acttivate)

Thank you for telling.

It's a pity, the default editor is nice.
I will use notepad, it's what I use often, and already did some syntax files for it.

Is there some User defined language syntax file available for justbasic? or for a general basic that you know?

VB looks quite nice for me

but my setup defaults to FreeBasic, not bad either

I have set up Notepad++ with syntax coloring. As I code I will add keywords and all that, which is easy to do in it.
When I have many, I will upload the file somewhere so others can use to code in basic.

I noticed the same problem in the editor! Strange you are my doppelganger, long hair and all, if you go back many years to my youth.
Could you send instructions on where to get Notepad++, and any help with creating the Syntax for this would be appreciated!
I am a novice at this time but have programmed in other Basic languages.

I have noticed that, but it seems if you use the 'Edit' in the main menu and select 'Undo' that will work.
