1. place the cursor the the beginning of the 1st line (first column of the line)
2. then press CTRL+Down (the down arrow key, not page down)
the whole block should be highlighted.

another way is to do a left click on the line number of the first line, it should also select the whole block. how do you usually do to select whole line?

Nothing I can do makes this work. Don't worry about it. It is something I would like, but I have done 6 years without it and can continue to do without it.

It will be really good if you can make the updating thingy work. If you cannot, you cannot. The other stunning features in your ide make it a clear winner still. Just so you know why I want this, bear in mind where I am as a coder.

I am not a pro coder. I type a line of code, then do a recompile to make sure the line of code I have just typed does not cause chaos. This takes time. If Ihave to then reload the EA onto the chart to ensure that what I have just typed is reflected accurately by the chart feedback, this takes a lot more time.

So, I am asking you to code stuff that helps me make up for my own inadequacies. Don't kill yourself on my behalf.

I'd like to add my thanks for your effort on this. Unfortunately, I think this might be a bug reading a path...Seen when trying to compile.


C:\Program Files\Mark\FXCM Empty4 4\other\compile.bat "C:\Program Files\Mark\FXCM Empty4 4\experts\Forex Robot-v7.10_debug.mq4"
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

looks like I forgot to enclose the batch file with a quote. you can either re-download 1.3.1 or just replace the attached "mql.properties" with the one in /langs/mql.properties

thx for pointing out the bug!

Thanks

Maybe it's another user experience issue.
For those who can't compile, would you mind try the "Go"(F5) instead of "Compile"(CTRL+F7) or "Build"(F7) and see if it works?
Before 1.3.1 all these 3 perform the same action, however in 1.3.1 I only adjusted "Go" because this is what I use and we use the same shortcut key to compile as in metaeditor.
I'll make "Compile" and "Build" to only do compiling but not notifying Empty4 on next release, as soon as I get some feedback on the notifier program.
Therefore, in future "Go" will be the best compiling option feature wise.
