How to configure Slick to ...
« on: July 25, 2007, 05:40:19 PM »


I'm trying to write tools for our software group using Slick-C.
Most of them are migrating from other editors so they don't know how to take advantage of many of Slicks features. I too am also learning Slick for the first time.

One of my coworkers is able to put his cursor above a #define symbol and Slick will show the value that symbol has been defined to. I have not been able to make this feature work (nor do I know what this is called). This would be very helpful to make this work on my system, because I have been having so many problems with preprocessor().

Would someone explain what I need to do to show the current value of # defines?

I've already created tags for this project.

In case you're talking about the mouse cursor:
'Tools>Options>File Extension Setup>Context Tagging: Show info for symbol under mouse (lower left corner)

Edit: Of course <ALT-DOT> / 'list-symbols' is also possible and works 'on demand'. And last but not least there is the Preview toolbar.

This all works for me now. Thank you!
