Re: qe vs tqe

[Charlie Gordon]

Hello Marc,

Sorry about this inconvenience, tqe should probably use its own configuration file.

The parser used in tqe is very primitive and does not support variables nor the variable=value syntax

it ignores all code in `if (test) { …}` blocks, so you wrap the last line in a block like this:

if (1) {

    dired_show_dot_files = 0;

}

and use commands to set the tab-width and the indent-tabs-mode:

set_tab_width(4);

set_indent_tabs_mode(0);

I shall modify the default config file to avoid this confusion.

Thanks for your feedback

Best regards

Chqrlie.

// hide dot files by default in dired

dired_show_dot_files = 0;

This works fine with qe (big qe? ^_^), but tqe fails out with an error message 47, 48, and 51.

/Users/mwilson/.qe/config:47: '(' expected

/Users/mwilson/.qe/config:48: '(' expected

/Users/mwilson/.qe/config:51: '(' expected

How do I avoid the error?
