Re: qe vs tqe

[Charlie Gordon]

Well I was wrong… if (0) { … } blocks are ignored, but if (1){ … }  blocks are parsed, so this trick cannot be used for tqe compatibility.

I am going to write a patch tonight to fix this: 

- I shall add a variable that can be tested such as if (full) { … }

- and tqe will accept and ignore functions and variables it does not know, only generating messages in the *messages* buffer but ignoring the errors instead of showing the popup.

tqe needs work: it is not as small as I would like and should still support syntax colorization and some other features currently disabled.

Thanks for your feedback.

tqe still bombs on the if () {} block.  It complains about a missing open paren on the variable set line.

I have:

if (1) {

    dired_show_dot_files = 0;

}

In there.

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

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?
