Hi,

Is there a keyboard shortcut for FP IDE (text IDE included with FPC) to jump from the interface section to the implementation section of a method.

Like Delphi or Lazarus's Ctrl+Shift+[up|down]

No. As far as I know, it does not have any functionality to parse the structure of the source code in any way (other than for syntax highlighting).

I may be wrong but I believe that there's support for finding the other side of brackets and begin/end sure about the original qustion though (I can't check it right now).

In our previous episode, Tomas Hajny said:

Yes, (auto-closing brackets). There is also codefolding, though unfinished an experimental.

There is also codecomplete but afaik that is just macro expansion not very intelligent.

I often find that [macro expansion] more useful than the supposed "intelligent" IDE's that often get things like indentation, begin..end placement etc wrong. Florian's recent post in Lazarus mailing list is just another proof of that.

But it is amazing how one gets used to certain editor features as part of your workflow. :) eg: like jumping from interface to implementation. I'm working on a solution for my own experimental IDE, and was curious to see how FP IDE did it, if that feature existed (and without something like a Lazarus CodeTools package). If I find a good solution, I'll try and apply it to the FP IDE too. It's a very handy editor feature to have.
