Click-To-Code

Hey folks,

what'd you say about:

Click on the model to jump to related code.

I have taken a draft for mouse selection, and encountered some usability
questions.
There has been a bit of discussion on IRC on what the "right" behavior is,
so I hope for some more input here.

Possible behaviors:

* *Use ALL*: when you click, the deepest identifiable object is selected,
its corresponding file opened and the cursor moved to the declaration. This
will traverse happily deep into library code.
* *Use ACTIVE*: when you click, the deepest identifiable object is selected,
and cursor is moved to the last call in the currently active file.
* *Use LOCAL*: like ALL, but use only files that are accessible relative to
the current file (not in library path)
* *Use OPEN*: like ACTIVE, but use only files that are currently open in the
editor

I have currently implemented that any file is opened. You can test it using:

* Windows: https://circleci.com/gh/openscad/openscad/4881#artifacts
* Linux AppImage: https://circleci.com/gh/openscad/openscad/4875#artifacts

It works in CSG Rendering and ThrownTogether.
If you find any problems or unexpected behavior please use the Pull Request
https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/3276

So my question is:

What of the above is the "right" behavior?
What would you expect to happen when you click on a part of the model?
where should the cursor end up?

best, jotweh

Re: Click-To-Code

I just get a completely white viewport. It doesn't even draw over the tool bar when I resize it. However if I copy the viewport image I do get an image with a black bar above it.

Win7 64 bit mxe build.

I also get this when I launch it.

I downloaded the zip file.
I noticed it was significantly SMALLER than others I downloaded.
The difference is in openscad.exe 37,138 KB v's 40,746 KB.
AVG blocked it (as it usually does for new versions) sends it off for full
checking.
Returned as clean.

So I presume the build may have missed something.

I ran it, F5, clicked on the model, crash Exception Code: c0000005.

Re: Click-To-Code

In reply to this post by jotweh

this is just great!
i think the best option would be, to have some kind of "call stack"
displayed, just like stopping on a breakpoint, and being able to jump to
different levels of it.
i have not been able to try your program yet, but i will do. thanks a
lot for sharing! i had even proposed something similar to be implemented
in future versions. i think this is a hugely useful feature!

Re: Click-To-Code

So you think of a workflow like:

- click on the model
- cet a extra window/widget/console with the "call stack"
- click on the element in this window which you'd like to access
- cursor jumps there and opens the file in the tabbed editor if it is not
open

and regarding testing the program - there seems to be a rendering issue on
windows machines. I am still creating a windows dev environment to
investigate and fix (current state: 22 hours of compiling). Testing on Linux
works like a charm :)

Re: Click-To-Code

Yes. in my opinionthat would almost ideal.
even more so would be a possibility of integration with an external text
editor like sublime, but ihave no idea howto acheive this, and it is
robably not needed for the most people anyways. but yes i mean a
workflow like you describe.
