Hey guise, I'll try to get to the flickering, it doesn't happen on mine unless I goto HUGE screens in which case I'm blaming the network. Still, I'll implement something that updates only on changes, i was waiting to implement my double buffer but oh well.

1. Screen tends to flicker a lot, and it can get annoying after a while. This is especially noticable on the "About" screen.. it looks like you tried (and failed) to make a transparency effect.

Hrm.. the about screen is bugging out anyways, It's probably related. the code doesn't draw much overlap (and surely not overlapping dialogs) so i'm not sure what you mean by a "failed" transparency. I'm sure it's the flicker you mentioned not but 10 words previous

3. Not everywhere has mouse support, and when clicking on text it appears to click 2 squares to the right of the cursor. I'm guessing this is because of the numbers on the side, but it seems to be 2 squares right even when I went down to 100, where it pushed a third row to the side. Hm.

I'm aware the menus don't have mouse support and it's mentioned in the description (future update, other things were more important). As for the 2 squares.. D'oh. Was a last minute fix.. I'll have to release this update after the multi-key update (see next)

4. Classic keyboard shortcuts would be awesome. CTRL + A, CTRL + C, CTRL + V? I know CTRL is for the menu, but if you could somehow implement these too, bonus points! (Perhaps make it so that if you press A within 500ms of CTRL or something? I'unno.)

I've actually already started on this, and yes there will have to be a delay lock.

You've been coding awesome things. xD Next thing you know you'd be making the next Excel (or similar 2d-database-thing) in CC.

Thanks man.. and yes, you caught me.. http://imgur.com/a/gScBt, that and hex-edit were part of the plan but I thought they may be overkill.. so anyways now I may add them as modes foXD

I did fix the flickering screen by editing line 1351, the timer, to 0.1 seconds instead of 0.01, thats too high comparing at the rate it need to refresh.

Also, nice Excel you are doing there...

My request: printer support

[da404lewzer]

Printer support will be fun :-)

[Goof]

if you want to only update if the version is updated, then you could make a seperate file which contains the Version number like "1.0" and then make the startup-file first download the version file, and then if the version file is bigger than the current version, then it would ask, for updating... i have made that in my AdvLock, and that works fine...
if you want any examples then feel free to PM me

This is really cool, but I have two complaints:

First, why isn't it mouse controlled? It's a little annoying to be using advanced compys without using mouse control.
Second, it flickers like it's having a seizure. Somewhat bothersome.

Reading through your epic code....It cannot be unseen

Nice IDE / text editor.
I'd use it, but I prefer using Notepad++.

[Zaggy1024]

Soo... I decided it would be fun to try adding mouse support to this today, and so I started playing around with it. It turned into a day-long project, which was successful. I believe I've made all the menus and dialogs have mouse support. Here's a link:

Note: I totally garbled the indentation because I decided it would be too annoying to get used to using spaces instead...

Also, if you find any bugs, please say so, because I haven't tested it all that much.

@da404lewzer: I hope you don't mind me modifying your code and posting it... but it sure was fun. The code was pretty well organized, so it wasn't too difficult.

edit: Ugh, somehow a ridiculously obvious error slipped past me (it didn't even cause errors when it should have, which was weird). If anyone downloaded it already (which is unlikely), re-download it from the link above.

edit: Accidentally left some debug code in there, too... I guess that's what I get for staying up till 3:00 coding. Update it again if you downloaded it...

Why the name TACO? I think it's an acronym, but I'm not sure.

[Mendax]

Could I get permission to use this in my operating system?

[da404lewzer]

Hey guys, sorry the holidays ate me up. So, I'm back now, ready to post new updates. I have some updates to TACO coming out here in the next day or so, something this weekend. Happy New Year! XD

Probably an Invader ZIM reference, I'm not sure. It just sounded funny I guess.

I don't mind if you use TACO in your OS. I would just like some credit and if you could try to keep the auto-update functionality.

[coryb2007]

It would be awesome if your update includes printer support, I don't think there are any (many very few I have not found) with printer support. So far all we have is the "edit filename" command...

[CastleMan2000]

Ok, if there is one thing that's needed, it's FULL MOUSE SUPPORT! (soz for caps) I mean really, why do you have to use keyboard for everything on an advanced comp?? Aside from that, pretty good.

[Unit158]

Reminds me of QBasic's editor. If someone could make a QBasic intepreter for computercraft, that would be awesome.

[gamax92]

I've gotten rid of most of the flickering by simply changing the update rate from 0.01 (Actually 0.05, rounds up) to 0.1.

This is a great editor otherwise, I'd love to have this be the default (Once the bugs are hammered out of course)

[TheOddByte]

Ok.. Just tested this and I gotta say: Awesome!
Since that what it is..
But you should try to add some code highlighting like in the
normal editior. Since that can be useful.
And you should mention that you have to press CTRL to
access the menu options since I tried clicking them first and wondered why it did'nt work.
