[Erel]

I'm happy to release a new version of B4A.

This update includes many IDE improvements and other improvements:

• Find all references, quick search and find subs / modules tool windows were rewritten and are now syntax colored, the text is selectable and you can jump directly to the selected position:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Subs code appears in the quick info windows:
  
  
  
  
  
  This code is also selectable and clickable.
• Show Sub in window:
  
  
  
  
  
  Allows showing subs in a floating windows. The text is selectable and clickable.
  This can be triggered from all kinds of places including:
  
  
  
  
  
  And:
  
  
  
  
  
• Positions and layouts of all windows are preserved.
• Search results font can be configured from Tools - IDE Options - Font Picker:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• IDE shows available updates:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Recommended targetSdkVersion is set to 28.

• Copy warnings from list of warnings.
• Generate 'Create Type' Sub:

Text can be selected but cannot be copyed.

Just tried it, it appears that when you select the text, it is automatically copied to the clipboard ready for pasting

yes, it's true.
But if you press ctrl+c to copy it's not copied, it's not clear.

Hmm, it works here if I press Ctrl + C or not.

That's true. The dialog doesn't intercept keyboard events. The selected code is copied automatically to the clipboard.

When i downloaded the 9.80 Beta #2, Windows 10 took a long time(> 60 secs) to open up the downloaded file. I only have Windows Defender as the Anti-virus. Otherwise perfect. Great product about to get better!

Starter.MyRoutine(x, y)

This also means that from today it will be better to declare the visibility of the routines, i.e. avoid writing in the Starter only Sub but also Public or Private.
