Changed default settings for VA Assist Pro
Reason for change
The out of the box behavior for our IDE may be different from what you are used to. The default settings for VA Assist Pro were changed to be compatible with the new Code Assist feature and to remove dependency on default screen color depth for Unix platforms
Change
The new default setting for Unix is
•UseColorSyntax = true
The setting changed to support Code Assist.
The new default settings for both Windows and Unix platforms are:
•CheckSpelling = true.
•DragDrop = false
•UseEditBars = true
•UseEnhancedListWidgets = true
•UseToolBars = true
Action required
No action is required if you are used to working in the VA Smalltalk IDE with the above settings.
If these settings are irritating, Chapter 16 "Tools Menu Enhancements" in the VA Assist Pro User Guide tells how to change these settings.
Warning:
If you turn spell checking off, code assist will produce a walkback when requesting method completions.
Unix:
if you set UseEditBars to false the IDE will not work. You will get walkbacks in some situations, for example, when you ask for implementers or senders of a method from the transcript.
