About ARDUINO editor

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Hi there,

I got my MEGA today, and I tried some sketches and everything is fine.
However I have two questions about the editor.

  • After having loaded/compiled a sketch, the name is followed by a "§". I did not find the meaning of this mark.
  • When I make a "copy/paste" from a PDF text sometimes the last character of the line is not editable (cannot suppress or replace)

Thanks for any hint.

Hello,

F6EEQ:
After having loaded/compiled a sketch, the name is followed by a "§". I did not find the meaning of this mark.

That flag is not part of the filename. It indicates the file has been modified. Many applications use an asterisk or the phrase "modified" in a status area.

When I make a "copy/paste" from a PDF text sometimes the last character of the line is not editable (cannot suppress or replace)

Need an example.

Hello!

Thanks for your answer about §.
I had figured that but did not find any confirmation. So now I got it.

For the second question I found the answer this night while I did not sleep!!!
Problem seems to come from the size of the font. Originally when I have installed ARDUINO the font is "12". As I found it a little bit difficult to read I switched to 16 (in File/properties).
So then the font is OK, but apparently the cursor does not follow the size increase.
Then if I stop and start again the editor (as said in the property window), the size change is taken into account also for the cursor move and everything is OK.

Thanks for all.
