here's a query for obsessives like myself
I use phpDesigner 2004 as my editor..
if I double click $myvarname than all it selects is 'myvarname'
it ignores the $ - now I find this really useful and I'm so used to it that I cant do without it
it makes copy and paste really quick when I dont want to use find and change
However I'm trying to upgrade to a proper IDE and the latest phpDesinger does not do it (and the new find and change is clunky as hell)
NetBeans doesnt do this double click trick either
Any tips?
Isnt there some trick with the arrow keys to deselect by one character from the left?
any other IDEs that might support this?
seems stupid I bet!
hmm now how many people actually read this lost outpost of the forum?
-- while I'm about it I also like the 'comment block' tool so I can comment out chunks like this:
/*
ignore this php
*/
but phpDesigner 2004 seems the only tool that does this
--it means I can quickly switch components on and off and if I already have standard comments
// like this
in the code, then they are clear to see and never accidentally get uncommented
thanks
