When using Monkey Help it would be nice to Open In Browser from context menu. This allows

* help to be used side by side with code window
* find and print options from using Browser

Interestingly the context menu when used on links in Monkey Help have extra options, open in new window, which seems broken on MacOS.

I was thinking of trying to build Ted in QT Creator and patching it, maybe even suggesting the "community edition" and was curious if there was already some Ted patches happening elsewhere?

they don't work for windows also in v75d.
alternative you can start monkey twice for side by side view.
only the copy link work i saw, you can paste in browser.

I did do a Ted mod for Windows, and it is quite simple to modify and compile your own. The Qt project file does it all for you.

Hi Adam, I have installed Qt 5.1 on Mac and from Qt Creator I was hoping to import Ted project and run from there, however first attempts have failed. Which file is the QT project file and is it distributed with Ted?

Another nice feature in Ted would be to create a Mojo (Strict) template eg: New > New Mojo Template File

Strict

Import mojo

Function Main:Int()
	New Game
	Return True
End

Class Game Extends App

	Method OnCreate:Int()
		SetUpdateRate(60)
		Return True
	End

	Method OnLoading:Int()
		Return True
	End Method

	Method OnUpdate:Int()
		Return True
	End Method
	
	Method OnRender:Int()
		Return True
	End Method

	Method OnSuspend:Int()
		Return True
	End Method

	Method OnResume:Int()
		Return True
	End Method
	
End

Comment out QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings( QTextCodec::codecForName( "UTF-8" ) );
It will compile as it's been removed in QT 5, but you should checkout the link below.

I would love to see the ability to split the coding area so you can see more then one file at the same time.

Also I would love to have the parameters of methods and functions displayed in the Code Browser window again, like we had in Monk.

Next would be that the entries in the code browser could be sorted again, like in Monk.

OK, commented out offending line now I get:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa"

yeah, i added that into the Ted Win mod above. I could try to compile for OSX, later today.

@Skid: Never tried to build Ted on QT 5 on a OSX, but have a look at the links below

Thanks for that and yuck...

I think I'll give up for now.

The comments in the ted.pro file suggest I do indeed need to downgrade QT.

On second thoughts, I may start with creating a fresh QT Creator 5.1.1 HTML5 project and see if I can add stuff piece by piece.

[edit] The basic HTML5 project is OK. Mavericks style FullScreen is not supported and the QT Creator app itself I'm not sure would pass AppStore guidelines.
