However, the CnWizards Code Input Helper seems to have options to show source code documentation: But I don't see any source code documentation in the CnWizards Code Input Helper, although there IS documentation in the source code where I am testing this.

Where did you get this? Marco Cantù answered at the Quality Portal: "RAD Studio IDE offers Help Insight, which can grab XMLDoc documentation from the source and displays is alongside in a very similar way. The limitation is we don't have large coverage in terms of XMLDoc." Stefan, maybe you confuse something here. We are talking about SOURCE CODE DOCUMENTATION.

Also, look at how other IDEs show the documentation in the code completion popup: Why the Delphi code completion popup does not show the documentation in the code completion popup? Is there a Delphi IDE add-in which displays the documentation in the code completion popup like in the above screenshot?

Embarcadero should hire them and pay them a decent salary! Embarcadero should also hire a few dozens of first-class Delphi developers and maintain the major open source Delphi libraries! What is Embarcadero doing with the many billions of $$$ they get from Delphi licenses?

I have added this feature request in GExperts: https://sourceforge.net/p/gexperts/feature-requests/65/ This OPTION would add a lot of useful flexibility to directory Search in Grep Search: If Grep Search finds a shortcut link (*.lnk) of a directory in the search directory (e.g. pointing to D:\MyProject) then Grep Search additionally searches in directory: D:\MyProject If Grep Search finds a shortcut link of a file in the search directory (e.g. pointing to F:\MyRoutines.pas) then Grep Search additionally searches in the file: F:\MyRoutines.pas This would allow me to create a directory full of shortcut links pointing to preferred source code directories and favorite source code files to concentrate the grep search on specific content. This would be very useful! What do you people think?

Who would be so stupid to create recursive hardlinks? (I am not sure whether Windows allows to create recursive hardlinks at all?) And What does this have necessarily to do with Grep Search?

It would be very easy to detect recursive links and (implicitly) visited files/links/dirs... Another approach would be using hardlinks. Would work with current search.

Currently, ToDo items in the Code Editor have the same syntax color as comments: If ToDo items had a separate syntax color, they would be better visible. This would be very useful! What do you people think? Could this possibly be done by an IDE expert/add-in?

I didn't say that you said it does it. But the hint to the source code is useful.

Thanks, CnWizards has a pretty good syntax colorizer, but there doesn't seem possible to colorize just Todo items:

Sorry, but I asked for opinions about my question. I thank you for your writing effort, but you didn't consider my question. That's the same fun as when someone asks a SPECIFIC question and another user answers: "For what do you need this?" Or when user A asks for opinions about the new Mercedes CLA model. Then user B answers: "For what do you need a Mercedes? I either take the bus or I go on my bicycle!"

I wrote VISIBLE IN THE SOURCE CODE EDITOR! Is this so difficult to understand? Sorry.

Delphi 10.3.1 RIO: The so-called ToolPalette IMO has a very annoying User Interface: 1. In the Tool Palette list, for a selected Tool Palette component item, how can I find out: The package name, the unit name (if source existing), platform compatibility, etc. etc. 2. Why the "Tool Palette" is not named "Component Palette"? (Which IMO would be more appropriate). 3. In the "Tool Palette" list, is there a filter mode where "file name" (note the space between "file" and "name") would find BOTH "TFileNameEdit" and "My File Name Edit"?

1. Showing this in a hint which is visible only for a short time (1-2 seconds) is (as I said) a very poor and annoying user interface! (Makes me think of a video game for retarded people). 2. Showing the component palette list in a dual-use list is a leftover from the Delphi stone-age when computer monitors had the size of a postage stamp and therefore dual-use controls were widespread. Today such dual-use lists are a sign of a poor user-interface. 3. Obviously, Nr. 3 was a rhetorical question, as this SMARTER filter-mode currently does not exist in the component-palette list which is also a sign of a poor user interface.

Does anybody know an IDE Code expert for automatically fixing very simple and obvious non-ambiguous syntax errors, for example: Transform this: Into this:

If HUAWEI is going to (forced to) replace Microsoft Windows OS and Apple OS on their devices with HUAWEI OS then I want Delphi for HUAWEI OS!

Microsoft has removed Huawei laptops from its stores. Microsoft Cuts Ties With Huawei: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-05-24/microsoft-cuts-ties-huawei https://www.rt.com/news/460187-icymi-china-huawei-5g-spy/: https://www.rt.com/news/460187-icymi-china-huawei-5g-spy/

Is the logo of the Communist Party included?

Do you know whether the Chinese have already hacked the Embarcadero Delphi IDE and replaced it with something better while keeping it fully compatible?

Brexit with (in) May?

While this is possible: This is currently not possible: However, this would be a big time-saver and would make the code more compact and easier to read. What do you people think?

In the GetIt Package Manager, the item buttons are only partially visible: Is this by design? This is not practical.

Delphi 10.3.1: Components -> Install Packages -> Click on the "Components" button: As you can see, the dialog has the text overlay "Form made sizable by GExperts". However, the dialog is not resizable at all (which IMO would not make much sense in this specific case). Is this a bug? If yes, I will add it to the GExperts bug list.

Thomas, thanks for the information. Bug filed. Have you already filed quality reports at Embarcadero for those bugs?

I have just submitted the following suggestion to the GExperts ticket list (https://sourceforge.net/p/gexperts/bugs/122/😞 The GExperts Procedure List is such a great addon. But in part it just duplicates the MMX Member Search functionality. A really unique functionality for the GExperts Procedure List would be to optionally show the procedures of ALL UNITS in the whole project. That would be VERY useful! Often we look for a specific procedure in the project but don't remember the exact unit where it is located. Ok, we could use the GExpert Grep Search. But a Global Procedure List would be much simpler and faster. You could use a simple button switch (remember between sessions) to toggle between the local and global scope. What do you people think?
