Hi, I'm working through a Qt course and getting used to the editor but I know there are short cuts that I don't know. Is there a single key you can hit when at the end of a line like: ("This is an example [cursor here] ") [light bulb here] ? What is the significance of the light bulb? And ...

Back in the day... I hate that phrase :) I was pretty good at the command line. It's been awhile but it does seem to be coming back to me pretty quickly. I assume the "cli" is command line interface?

Thanks again to you and Stevo. I think I'm settling on C++. The main reasons are that I've learned it beginning to end at least 3 times over the years but the old addage that "You don't use it... You loose it." is very true. At least for me. This time maybe I'll get it to a similar state a...

Thank you Adrian, I just checked and they're already installed. Right now I'm waffling on C++ or Python and which would make me more productive quicker. From where I'm starting it's a hard choice. I'm leaning to C++ because I know MX is mostly made with that but I feel that Python would make me more...

The install above fixed it. Ran it and tried the empty app again and all is well. I'm not sure which one did but I'm terribly happy it's fixed.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

I copied that on Windows 10...

I'm more than willing to try! I'll look at WindscribeVPN and see what I can do. Sounds interesting.

I really appreciate the help! In looking around I did find Qt Creator and am installing it as we speak. It looks a bit like an app that I used called Powerbuilder. I wrote a Time and Attendence app with it. Also most of my experience is in the UNIX world and I've been playing with Linux for many yea...

I've been working on "re-learning C++" I learned it in some detail quite awhile ago but without using it on a regular basis it never became second nature to me like C. I've also started to look at Qt but haven't gotten very far. I've been looking at IDE's also and was wondering if anybody ...

Hi, I was a database application etc. programmer for about 25 years. My main languages were database specific or C. When the database had no answer to my problem I'd fix it with C. That was quite awhile ago and although the language is still second nature to me with nothing to use my skills on it is...
