Re: <C-]> doesn't work as expected in macro

Hello,

This is an incredible tool. I am having so much fun using it.

Right now I am working with macros. Here is one that I have recorded:

kkzoddjnkpkkkkbyeNjbbb<C-]>

Everything works as expected until Ctrl+]. It gives an error that says:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Cannot navigate to definition.  The cursor is not on a symbol.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

The strange part is that if I split the <C-]> into a separate macro it works just fine. It seems like it need a pause in there to work correctly for some reason. This might be a more obscure scenario. I'm not exactly sure.

Is there a way to put a pause into a macro? Do you think that would help.

Thanks for all of your hard work.

Re: <C-]> doesn't work as expected in macro

This is most likely because the code that handles <c-]> doesn't update VS's idea of the cursor's position from ViEmu's internal variables before calling "Edit.GotoDefinition". I think this has already happened with some other command. I will look into this tomorrow and get back to you.

Thanks a lot for the very kind comments!

Re: <C-]> doesn't work as expected in macro

Hi,

I just tested this manually, actually creating a macro that does "www<c-]>" to move three words to the right and go to the definition. It works fine for me in all of VS.NET 2003, VS2005 and VS2008 with C++ code. Since I guess the actual details of the movement in your macro above are not really important, can you please more details about the environment where you reproduced it (VS version, language you are using, etc...) so that I can try to reproduce this? Specific steps for me to reproduce it would be most helpful.

Best regards,

  -- Jon

Re: <C-]> doesn't work as expected in macro

And, what language are you developing in? It may make a difference in how Edit.GotoDefinition works.

On the other hand, the SlickEdit Gadgets plug-in is the most likely to cause some trouble, out of the ones you have listed (it may not be the cause, though!)

Any simplified description of how to reproduce the problem will be useful.

Regards,

  -- Jon

Re: <C-]> doesn't work as expected in macro

I am using C#.

I did get rid of SlickEdit and the problem persisted.

I have tried to come up with a simplified reproduction and I can't. I can't seem to isolate what is making this particular case cause the error.

My workaround for right now is using *. It wouldn't work in all situation, but for what I am doing it accomplishes the same results.

Thanks for the help. I will update if I am able to come up with a simplified reproduction.

Re: <C-]> doesn't work as expected in macro

This is really weird. Indeed, * can help for local stuff, but it won't allow fast navigation.

Does right-clicking on the id and selecting "Go to Definition" work?

Let me know if you find some way I can reproduce it.
