Komodo 4.4.0 Beta 2 is here

[Todd Whiteman]

Hello everyone,

ActiveState has just released the second Komodo 4.4 beta build. Beta  2
has some smaller new feature additions as well as a number of important
bug fixes to prepare Komodo for the imminent 4.4.0 final release.

Two new features of particular interest are:
* new column editing support
   http://docs.activestate.com/komodo/4.4/editor.html#Column_Select
* Zend Framework support - autocompletion smarts for zend view files has
now been added.


You can find out more in the Komodo release notes:
        http://docs.activestate.com/komodo/4.4/releases/ide.html

or check out the new Komodo 4.4 features here:
        http://community.activestate.com/komodo-4-4-features

The Komodo auto-update component should be working for any users
currently running a Komodo 4.4 alpha or beta 1 build, else you can
download the new installer bits from here:
        http://downloads.activestate.com/Komodo/releases/4.4.0b2/

Please note that this is a beta build and as such we don't recommend you
rely on this build for critical development work.

We are keen to get feedback on this release, as this is likely the last
test build before Komodo 4.4.0 is final. Any other ideas you have about
Komodo, or if you run into any issues then let us know via one of
the channels below:

Where I work, we use fixed-ASCII formatted files for almost
everything, so every little bit of fixed column support Komodo
introduces theoretically makes my life better.

I just tried out the new project from template, using the Zend
template.  I found a small bug.

Each PHP file does not have the closing ?> tag.  For example:

<?php

require_once('Zend/Controller/Action.php');

/**
 * Class Testcontroller.phpController
 */

class Testcontroller.phpController extends Zend_Controller_Action {

    /**
     * testcontroller.phpAction
     */

    public function testcontroller.phpAction() {

    }
}


cheers,
Anton

After upgrading to 4.4 final and then switching to the default
keybinding scheme in Preferences > Editor > Key Bindings, rectangular
selection started working for me on Linux using Alt+Shift+Arrows.

Then, after switching back to the custom keybinding scheme I had been
using, rectangular selection continued working.  But then suddenly all
of my custom key bindings went missing.

So it's unclear whether the problem got fixed for 4.4 final or I fixed
it myself by switching to the default scheme.  I guess I could restore
my custom scheme from backup and see if it breaks with that.

I restored my custom keybinding scheme from a backup I made two weeks ago, and rectangular selection broke again.

The four basic rectangular selection commands (Editor: Select Rectangular Previous Character, Editor: Select Rectangular Next Character, Editor: Select Rectangular to Previous Line, and Editor: Select Rectangular to Next Line) aren't bound to any keys in my custom scheme.

And Alt+Shift+Left and Ctrl+Shift+Left are bound to Editor: Select Previous Part of Word and Editor: Select Previous Word, respectively.  Alt+Shift+Right and Ctrl+Shift+Right are similarly bound to Select Next commands.

Selecting the default scheme from the Key Binding Schemes dropdown menu reassigns Alt+Shift+Left and Alt+Shift+Right to rectangular previous/next character selection and adds Alt+Shift+Up and Alt+Shift+Down bindings for previous/next line selection.

But it also wipes out my custom scheme, whose custom key bindings disappear if I select the default scheme and then reselect my custom scheme from the Key Binding Schemes menu.

So it looks like there are two issues: Komodo doesn't update custom schemes to reflect changes to default bindings (seems like it should update the ones that the user hasn't customized), and Komodo loses customizations when you select the default scheme.

I have filed bugs 78314 and 78316 about these two issues, respectively.
