Hello Paul,
i would like to have a simple text file as a sort of info or notes module. A code module i think isn't really nothing else, but this one shouldn't be in the "build script" for the compiler. So i think it should be simple to implement.
This would be the location, where i can take notes about the project, keep something like a todo list, infos about the data used, interaction with the world outside the project etc.
As part of the project within FF it would be much simpler to handle than in an seperate editor like i do now.
Thanks,
Hans
Would the "Project Notes/Tasks" area be what you're looking for?
You can access it from the bottom toolbar, or the "View" menu, or Ctrl+F7.
Hello Paul,
yes that's what i need. Unfortunately copy and paste doesn't work within this ProjectNotes editor. So it doesn't work to store some information copied from anywhere else.
Thanks
Hans

Strange, it works for me.
I finally figured it out. If you use the keyboard shortcut (ctrl-v) the paste goes to main code editor window in the background. If you use the mouse (right click, context menu) the paste goes as expected to the project notes/tasks editor.
Bug or intended behavior?

Hans,
I see what you are talking about now. This won't address whether or not FF's behavior is intentional or unintentional, but I'd like to point out something about Windows to you.
Windows and most applications support:
Ctrl-c (copy)
Ctrl-x (cut)
Ctrl-v (paste)
Applications are free to "re-map" those shortcuts to other functions of the programmers choosing. There is another set of keyboard shortcuts in Windows that I used to be able to say "never get 're-mapped' by applications", but I haves seen one(1) program that did and can no longer say that. But that's one program from literally hundreds of programs I have used these other shortcuts on. I doubt you will ever find any one of them re-mapped to something else.
If you are able to retrain yourself (I got lucky and ran into these before I got used to the ones you use) you will not regret it.
They are:
Ctrl-Insert (copy)
Shift-Del (cut)
Shift-Insert (paste)
I didn't see what you saw using FF's project-notes because I use Shift-Insert to paste (since Windows 3.1) and have never had a problem.

Just a FYI
These:
Ctrl-Insert (copy)
Shift-Del (cut)
Shift-Insert (paste)
also work on Linux
