Enhancements regarding Macros editor

Desktop editors
1

Hi! I have any suggestions regarding Macros code editor:

  • Please make it expandable to the whole screen. When I code, I don’t want to spend my time to resize the window just to code or see how the result of the code execution.
  • Please make scroll bars work. When I press them, nothing happens. It’s not always convenient to scroll just with mouse and keyboard buttons.
  • Please make light bulbs (fixes) work. When I try to tap on them, they disappear. Otherwise, why do they even exist?
  • Please highlight code execution errors inside the editor if possible. Like Google Apps Script editor does. Otherwise, how do I even know whether the code failed or not? It should be easily accessible right in the editor IMO.
  • Please make the editor stay opened when Save button is pressed. I want to save the macros, but not immidiately close the code editor usually.

I can program now, but implementing these proposals would be a nice deal. :smile: Thanks beforehand for understanding.

Hello @EmilyGraceSeville7cf

Thank you for the suggestions. I have forwarded following suggestion to the QA:

However, I’d like to get some more information on the rest of them.

I was unable to reproduce this behavior. You see, depending on the code, certain parts of the macro can inherit parent function as a header, which may seem like it does not work. Can you share a video sample of you reproducing this issue?

Due to a architecture of the app, debug information is printed into the devtools. You can enable it according to the guides available here:

Basically, in devtools you will find any errors produced during macro execution. Other than that, you can also debug the code with debugger as it is described here:

I hope this would suffice the goal.

I’ve recorded this problem on a video.

Thank you for the video. Scrollbars work for me on several devices without any issues. This seems to be a bug, potentially at least, thus I’d like to ask you to create a separate topic for troubleshooting.

In new topic please also include following information:

  1. OS;
  2. Installation type of Desktop Editors (snap, DEB packages, AppImage, etc.);
  3. Version of Desktop Editors.

Additionally, it’d be nice to provide the video again or link your reply with the video from this topic.

Thank you.

I’ve created a dedicated topic for that.
