How can I create an Access extension for editing code following a particular key combination? (3 Viewers)

[amorosik]

And with that you just made my point .
You started out by asking other people to do the hard work of coming up with VBA code that replicates something already in existence.
And you end by asking other people to do the hard work of trying to track done something that we suspect doesn't really exist.
It's not hard. You know what content you've shared here. Finding it and posting a link to it will quickly end the discussion.

I didn't ask anyone to work hard to answer
If anyone knows the answer to the question posed, please respond, I'd be grateful
Otherwise, it's best not to answer

What's definitely wrong is accusing me of not using any answers, as if using the answers provided were obligatory
What's definitely wrong is accusing me of not making practical use of any answers, as if wanting to learn the theory were a crime
What's definitely wrong is thinking I have to prove something, like providing links to where I've provided answers that are useful to others

I don't have to prove anything at all
If you want to help, do it; otherwise, don't
I don't think there was ever any coercion

Thank you. You have indeed proven something, even though you probably didn't intend to do so.

Perhaps someone does have time and the inclination to replicate the line numbering function in one of the commercially available Access tools (MZ Tools, VBE_Extras, and perhaps others) for you.

I'll just add one final comment before I ignore all future threads from you. Feel free to ignore me as well.

Back in post #2, I gave you outline instructions on how to remove / add line numbers. You made no mention of that in your later responses.

I deliberately didn't give you the code as I wanted to see whether you were prepared to try & do the work yourself with the hints I provided.
Your responses since have clearly proved I was right not to supply the code.

Thank you.

You're welcome

"..probably didn't intend.." what makes you think I probably didn't mean to?
"..Perhaps someone does have time.." yes, that's the intent of the request.

If you think you can only provide your valuable experience to those who "behave well in your opinion" it means that, at least for me, I am grateful for what you have done so far and will gladly do without your help

Some forum etiquette suggestions:
If someone provided you with code, let that person know how it went in detail.
If someone went the extra mile and provided you with a working example of what you're asking for, give feedback, a simple thank you is not feedback, by the way.
You should reply to anybody who has written something for you, even if it does not work, let the other person know.

No, it's not a crime. But you can see how a bunch of helping hands are feeling like they just wasted their time with your questions. They may have learned a thing or two while trying to help you, or not, a lot of them are retired too, so they did it because it felt exciting or because it feels good to just simply help. Whatever it is, they still provided you with a solution that has a certain weight based on their experience. We are not bots, we're humans here, mostly, I guess. And others may come and still give you answers, but c'mon dude. Do you really not see that constructive feedback is necessary for a harmonious interaction? It's not just an oversight, it's a missing opportunity for collaboration.

Imagine you're baking a cake and you handed it to someone you care about, because you want that person to take a good bite. Instead, this person doesn't even take a bite and tell others how much they think another recipe would be great at this moment, turns around and changes topic, giving you their back. Oh it's not a crime, for sure.

"..know how it went in detail.."
I've never heard of this, please tell me where this recommendation appears on this forum, because even after searching for the guidelines, I honestly couldn't find them

"..give feedback, a simple thank you is not feedback.."
Aside from expressing gratitude, what do you think should be done?

"..You should reply to anybody who has written something for you, even if it does not work, let the other person know..."
Of course, this makes sense, although I must say that if there are a lot of comments, it's possible that some of them won't be seen

"..We are not bots, we're humans here, mostly, I guess.."
You write as if I'm forcing someone to respond, and that has never happened, obviously

"..Do you really not see that constructive feedback is necessary for a harmonious interaction?.."
I completely agree with you, and I'm also fully aware of the weight (in terms of experience and knowledge) of both GPGeorge and isLadogs, two forum heavyweights contributors
But you see, if you get insults for no reason, then it's only natural to expect some rude responses
It's a classic principle of Newtonian dynamics: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

I said it's forum etiquette, not that there is a special set of guidelines.

Aside from expressing gratitude, it is important to give collaborative constructive feedback so that the helper knows their suggestion helped and how. Simply saying thanks could also mean "I didn't actually check, but I will politely pretend I did", something that is easy to spot once things that have already been addressed arise again.

If there are a lot of comments, nothing stops you from grouping similar comments and replying to them in group. It's not Youtube, it's a forum and those comments are people trying to help you because you asked for help.

Insults are simply unacceptable and it's good to point them out every single time. Use your report button.

Try twinBasic for your add-in. By the way. It has a template. Good luck finding resources though, luckily, it supports VBA and VB alike.
