Ann: LEA v.0.87

Ann: LEA v.0.87

[Gautier write-only address]

LEA is a Lightweight Editor for Ada

Web site: http://l-e-a.sf.net/
Source repository #1: https://sf.net/p/l-e-a/code/HEAD/tree/
Source repository #2: https://github.com/zertovitch/lea

Changes since last announcement here: 

  - Added auto insert feature: e.g. typing `(` inserts `)`.
  - Added color theme Solarized Light.
  - Added a "stealth mode" in which LEA doesn't leave
       traces in the registry.
  - Editor adds `--  ` if the cursor is within a comment when the Return key
       is pressed (consequence: a comment is split into two comments).
  - If the cursor is within a string literal when the Return key is
       pressed, the string literal is split into two valid string
       literals with a `&` between them.
  - Added unhandled exception information to message list
  - Tabs with the various file names
  - LEA doesn't write scilexer.dll as a file; thus, it runs as 
       a portable application (in the sense: you can run it from a
       read-only drive directly, without installation)
  - Added a Build & Run button (for the HAC compiler).

Features:
  - multi-document
  - multiple undo's & redo's
  - multi-line & multi-point edit, rectangular selections
  - color themes, easy to switch
  - duplication of lines and selections
  - syntax highlighting
  - parenthesis matching
  - bookmarks

Currently available on Windows.
Gtk or other implementations are possible: the LEA_Common[.*] packages
are pure Ada, as well as HAC.

Enjoy!

Alire: are you missing a LEA crate?
ALS: = Ada language server?

Why not but I was thinking compiling/running Alire projects from LEA.

That's it. Auto-completion and mouse-over documentation in LEA.

Good idea! For instance the "Build & Run" command (the green button) would launch "alr run" in that context.
Added to the to-do list.

Side note: a cool project would be a graphical tool, "Alire Explorer" (good name to be found) with buttons for the key Alire commands, a box displaying the contents of "alr show", ...
Perhaps something to be made with GNOGA.

Also added to the to-do list.

With a Alire project search feature to list Alire projects on a disk ?

This would be a very cool feature.

Some news: mouse-over documentation is implemented, as well as a "go to declaration" context menu entry :-)
