...is there any way to turn off the "feature" of zMUD auto-selecting the erroneous part of a trigger when you're in the editor? I've been working a lot trying to figure out the scripting language and numerous times I've hit save, it's told me there's an error, then I hit a key or delete and wipe out a chunk of code. And since there's no undo (that I know of) other than reloading the settings, that code is lost beyond return. I'm getting REALLY frustrated with this.

Thanks.

Nope, there's no way to turn this feature off. In fact, you can't do much of anything with the syntax checker other than change colors and formatting behavior (ie, auto-completion, force lower-case for function names, etc).

There *IS* a way to 'undo' it... just hit the little red X instead of the green checkmark... it will reset that trigger/alias/whatever back to the last saved version (in this case, right before you wiped out your chunk of code)... happons to me allllll the time.

THANK YOU Valdar! I had never noticed that. I'm ALWAYS trying to hit Ctrl-Z (it's built into my very nerve fibers at this point) but that just mocks me by splitting the lines in the editor. There seems to be no way other than the icon to undo changes. Granted, this isn't really an "Undo" like in standard text editors, because it would undo ALL changes since you last saved the text, not just the last change you made.

Yeah I keep having a battle about control-z with zugg, he uses it to toggle scrollback and I'm all like "its supposed to be undo" heh. Maybe we need to lynch mob him into providing an option to allow control-z to be undo Wink

Your welcome Cuttlefish and as far as linching zugg goes.... i got the pitchforks, the torches, and a couple nooses...anything else we need for a good linching? *evil cackling laugh*

Alright slightly (but not by much!) more seriously... I agree, Ctrl+Z should be used for Undo rather that scrollback buffer (personally I never use ctrl+z...i just use middle mouse button to toggle it) I figure make it a customizable thing for toggling the scrollback (if it isnt already...never cared to check really)

Currently, there are at least four ways to toggle split:
- Ctrl-Z
- ScrollLock key
- menu item
- middle-click

Really, I could certainly do without Ctrl-Z being tied to it. I'd like a single pref that says "Use Ctrl-Z as Undo in Settings editor". Unchecked, Ctrl-Z would toggle scrollback. Checked, the Ctrl-Z would perform the same action as hitting the red-X (possibly with a prompt, since it's not a "real" undo and would erase more than your last line of changes).

Cuttlefish, ya forgot one... there is the little box in the lower right (where the scroll bars meet) which you can normal click to toggle it...

The real question is, who is Zugg's "Igor"? [}:)]

I would also love to see an undo button/shortcut key added.... It's so frustrating getting so much done in a script and hitting save -> error -> accidently overwrite what you did and never get it all back... only can get back to where it was last time i saved it.

This would be a great addition!
