Lazarus 3.99 (rev main_3_99-1527-gf3aa0586d9) FPC 3.2.2 x86_64-linux-gtk2
my old lazarus.dci contained for example
[sm | showmessage] ?ShowMessage('|');
I could use this template by
sm + Ctrl+j
Now i have in lazarus.dci
[sm | showmessage] [todo | ToDo item creator]
.. and there is no way how i can use that?!!
Clarification really needed!

Ok, i have to redefine my own code templates using the new? Makro edit box ?!
But why this change? I see no benefit.
Ok i am just a hobbyist using lazarus IDE !
mpf ...

First, "lazarus_dci_file.dci" was renamed to "codetemplates.dci". See https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues/40657. I guess this is not related to your issue.

A new Makro edit box?
No, code templates are managed in Tools -> Code Templates ...
There was another change. Templates in the Ctrl-J list are now sorted and work as expected always.

I admit I have not added much templates myself. I have used the existing ones.
Maybe there is something in the common workflow that I don't know.

Just to be sure, did you directly edit the lazarus.dci inside the ide folder in the lazarus install dir?
Because then, it would have stopped working.
If you edit via the IDE, then the modified file is saved in your PCP.
If the above is your issue copy the modified file to the PCP. -------------- next part --------------

Renaming "lazarus_dci_file.dci" to "codetemplates.dci" should not affect a file named "lazarus.dci".
I searched in my home dir if I have "lazarus.dci". It is found in a config dir for Lazarus 2.0. I don't remember creating such a file. How did it get there? I guess I don't know everything about the templates and their history.

My lazarus.dci is very, very old !! Copied from Delphi, I don't remember!
I have only three(?) additions that i got working again ... so everything is fine with lazarus IDE ... as usual :-)

Wondering about filenames you are talking about:
if i start my lazarus with new --pcp
lazarus --pcp=/home/john1/.lazarus-juha
I get these new config files including lazarus.dci
No codetemplates.dci ???
Info:
Lazarus 3.99 (rev main_3_99-1538-g642e3bac61) FPC 3.2.2 x86_64-linux-gtk2
Manjaro Linux XFCE
Hope these infos are usefull ?!!

Afaik (from what I heard) the change only affects the file in the folder ide in your laz install. That was renamed.
The one in your PCP is as it always was => and that is where your own templates should also be stored.
For your original lazarus look into menu view > ide internals > about ide >> that should tell you where it has its pcp (usually ~/.lazarus)
-----
So then, the question is: are there entries in such a lazarus.dci file (in the pcp), that are not available in the IDE (not via ctrl-j / not in the codetemplate editor from the tool menu)?
If so, then report a bug, with a copy of the lazarus.dci attached. -------------- next part --------------

My lazarus is functional as it was before.
I don't need to understand the IDE in detail
Thanks to all that answered my initial question !
