As a long since brainwashed Delphi user, I would love to have compile linked to F9. I just hit that key without thinking when I want to compile and run.

Maybe to make everyone happy we could just have a customizable hotkey to compile/run?

Very minor issue. .... but nice

By the way, during compilation, and b4bridge being activated, would it be possible to set the defaut device instead of confirming it at the end of compilation ? ...

Regards,

Pierre

You can compile in the background by pressing Alt + 3. It will deploy to the last chosen device.

Thanks Erel for this information.

You're very reactive, as I allready noticed from the rest of the forums

Very good software, by the way !

Regards.

I agree.......F9 to compile.....its surely a good compromise given you have made us Delphi developers have to code back in VB something we have all long shuned and laughed at of course I am making a joke here....although I vote for F9

Sad, isn't it? We scoffed about how much more "elegance" Delphi had over VB, ... but now we are the dinosaurs!

I, for one, am satisfied to come crawling back! "Please, sir. May I have some more?" :sign0161:

and my F9!!

There is the project code named "Cooper" that RemObjects are doing but its alpha not even beta (wher you can use F9) and still has a ways to go yet from the video I saw.
I am happy with B4A anyway. Although I did get my latest Visual Studio magazine today and its got an article about Mono for Droid, but not having read the article yet and being Mono it will need a runtime which puts me RIGHT off !

Acutally, something that could be quite cool is if you had the option to define the compilation keys, that way Visual Studio developers can use F5, and real developers who develop in Delphi :sign0089: can use F9.
Or....have some predefined key mapings so the user can select "Visual Studio Key Combos", "Embarcadero Key Combos" or "Basic4Android Key Comobs" from a drop down and then the IDE knows what keys to map automatically.

The "select the compilcation key" is prob. easier/quicker to implement

Thanks!
