DCD integration

Hans-Albert Maritz (Freakazo) recently implementated DCD integration. For using of Autocompletion and Go To Definition, you need to install DCD. (For Win32, built dcd-server.exe and dcd-client.exe are included, and will be copied by DUB during build). dcd-client and dcd-server must be in the same directory as dlangide executable or in one of PATH dirs. DlangIDE starts its own copy of DCD daemon on port 9167.

Building DlangIDE

Build and run with DUB:

git clone https://github.com/buggins/dlangide.git
cd dlangide
dub run

If you see build errors, try to upgrade dependencies:

dub upgrade --force-remove

Needs DMD 2.066.1 to build.

HINT: Try to open sample project Tetris, from workspaces/tetris with DlangIDE.

To develop in VisualD together with DlangUI, put this project on the same level as dlangui repository, and its dependencies.

Keyboard shortcut settings

Keyboard shortcuts settings support is added.

For linux and macos settings are placed in file

~/.dlangide/shortcuts.json

For Windows, in directory like

C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\.dlangide\shortcuts.json

If no such file exists, it's being created on DlangIDE start, filling with default values to simplify configuration.

Just edit its content to redefine some key bindings.

File format is simple and intuitive. Example:

{
    "EditorActions.Copy": "Ctrl+C",
    "EditorActions.Paste": "Ctrl+V",
    "EditorActions.Cut": "Ctrl+X",
    "EditorActions.Undo": "Ctrl+Z",
    "EditorActions.Redo": [
        "Ctrl+Y",
        "Ctrl+Shift+Z"
    ],
    "EditorActions.Indent": [
        "Tab",
        "Ctrl+]"
    ],
    "EditorActions.Unindent": [
        "Shift+Tab",
        "Ctrl+["
    ],
    "EditorActions.ToggleLineComment": "Ctrl+/",
    "EditorActions.ToggleBlockComment": "Ctrl+Shift+/"
}
