I have got an simple yet useful idea to be used usually when chatting about code (e.g. here in the forum, or with colleague etc...)

The new TheIDE

Copy position Alt+U

function simply copies the current filename (in host independent form) and line onto clipboard. The idea is that you can then simple paste it to the message like this:

ide/idetool.cpp 108

Now the reader of your message can copy it to clipboard and then in TheIDE invoke

Goto clipboard position Alt+Y

and see the referenced code easily.

IMHO, yes. GCC uses this format, VIM QuickFix list supports this format.

I have extended the accepted syntax for "Go to clipboard position", so that it basically accepts error messages pasted in the forum too, like:

c:\upp\upp.src\uppsrc\ide\idetool.cpp (108): Something

Hello, I just posted a mesage using this feature on forum, it's very convenient !
However, when jumping to a file which is not part of a package (let's say c:\upp\upp\bin\clang\include\sal.h) and try to copy position, the copy position don't work (my clipboard remain the same as before the copy position).
It would be good to copy filename and position when TheIDE don't know from what package this file come from

I can do that, but it will just work with Copy position, not Alt+Y. Do we want to go there?

IMO I think it's better to have file:line when file is not part of package than nothing when copy position. I can add this feature to TheIDE and share a patch file if you lack of time Very Happy

Also, what if, if no package is present in clipboard, TheIDE look for all includes directories of each build method to find the file present in clipboard ? maybe it would be to heavy
