Sorry guys, but I disagree. If the IDE is designed to help make people's coding tasks quicker and easier, then I fail to see how an option for this will hurt the IDE.
I might be new to programming, but even I know that Blitz is simply lame in how you have to type things like var = var + 1. It's not like anyone is asking for stupid things here. It's a basic time saver, and that's it. And, it's fairly simple creating an option for the IDE to 'fill in the blanks', such as what it already does for the hotcodes.
Sheesh man, relax a little. It's Trixx's IDE first and foremost, and he can add what he wants. If he thinks it's a dumb idea, I'm sure he'll turn it down. But, this whole, "Keep it really simple because simple is liek teh best." is just silly. If you want the IDE to just be an IDE, use the original Blitz3D editor.
I for one like IDEal because it Trixx has gone and made some great options which are helpful timesavers.
You should stay within the confines of the syntax of the language and not rely on the IDE to do some weird C conversion.
