I didn't follow this thread in detail, so if I got the wrong end of
the stick, please ignore this message.

I use "Programmer Dvorak" layout - which can be applied to any OS and
any keyboard - does this for me. No programming required from my side.
Programmer Dvorak supports many extra keys via Alt and Meta.

They original author of Programmer Dvorak supplies drivers or keyboard
layout profiles for Linux, Windows, Mac etc. So maybe you could learn
something from what he did? Just a thought.

Thanks, but there's still the issue there that it would need stuff 
installed outside of the single binary, and it's unclear whether it 
could originate 16-bit characters.

Re: Filtering on date with TDbf

Hi,

I don't want to compare "dates as strings", I want to compare dates with 
other dates, as dates. The thing is the filter in TDbf is a string. So 
how would I specify that filter if not as a string ?

In Lazarus I tried also
datum >= '2011-01-01'
datum >= "2011-01-01"
Same error : Index based on unknown field ">="
That's when I enter the filter with the TDbf active.
If I enter this with the TDbf closed, and then open the TDbf, the filter 
just disappears.

AFAIK, TDbf is has no SQL, so this can't be used. Besides, with Firebird
... where datum >= '5.9.2011'
is perfectly valid to have all dates from/including sept 5 2011, I just 
checked.

So, any other suggestions ?
Thanks for your replies.

Koenraad.

PMFJI, but don't, please DON'T use this date notation. dd/mm/yy or
mm/dd/yy notations are often parsed depending on OS locale settings and
in any case ambiguous between e.g. US and Europeans.

As earlier suggested, try to be unambiguous in Firebird as well and use
'CCYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS.nnnn' or 'YY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS.nnnn' (".nnnn" element
is optional).

Sorry, no idea about the dbf filter...

Reinier

Hi,

For me one thing is clear now and hopefully really unabiguous : I'm 
going to use 'CCYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS.nnnn' or 'YY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS.nnnn' (and 
without time-info if this is not needed).

I have long searched how to represent dates in an sql-select. Finally I 
just copied the date from a select *, where the date is returned as 
5.9.2011 for sept 5, 2011.
I don't think I will forget this now ;-)

Unfortunately, this does not help with the tdbf.

Thanks,

Koenraad.

Re: SynInfoView

Another issue: tooltip now disappears after "begin" inside routine and 
not shown if caret is in routines` "var" section.

more precise: tooltip disappears when caret is "scrolled off" from screen.

this is currently intended. Needs to be configurable.

But also needs a fix (which is why it changed).
Previously the hith stayed, not only if the caret srolled out (on the 
top) but even if the "end" scrolled out. that was nonsense imho.

I'll have to do some speed improvements first. Try caret movements (hold 
down key) at the end of a 10000 line unit...

I simply re used an old bit of code, that had a diff purpose...
