# Tk UI Changes - Implementation Checklist for Other UIs

## Date: 2025-10-26

## Purpose

This document lists all the recent changes made to the Tk UI that should be verified/implemented in other UIs (Curses and Web) to maintain feature parity.

---

## 1. Debugger/Step Mode Enhancements

### Status: ✅ WORKING in Tk UI

### Changes Made to Tk UI:
**Files:** `src/interpreter.py`, `src/ui/tk_ui.py`

#### 1.1 Step Mode Shows NEXT Statement (Not Last Executed)
- **What changed:** Breakpoints and step modes now highlight what WILL be executed next, not what was just executed
- **Why:** More intuitive debugging - you can see what's about to happen
- **Implementation:**
  - In `interpreter.py`: Updated breakpoint, step_statement, and step_line modes
  - Sets `char_start`/`char_end` to point to NEXT statement before pausing
  - **Commits:** 79f0a77, 27b555c, d04b7c8, a803ecc

#### 1.2 Control Flow Jump Highlighting
- **What changed:** When stepping through GOSUB, RETURN, NEXT, GOTO, etc., the highlight jumps to show where execution is going
- **Why:** Makes control flow visible during debugging
- **Implementation:**
  - Detects when `runtime.next_line` is set during step mode
  - Updates state to show jump target before pausing
  - Handles `next_stmt_index` for mid-line jumps (RETURN after mid-line GOSUB)
  - **Commit:** 27b555c

#### 1.3 RETURN Highlighting Fix
- **What changed:** RETURN now highlights the statement AFTER the GOSUB, not the GOSUB itself
- **Why:** Shows where execution will continue, especially important for mid-line GOSUB
- **Example:**
  ```basic
  10 PRINT "A": GOSUB 100: PRINT "B"
  100 PRINT "subroutine"
  110 RETURN
  ```
  After RETURN, highlights `PRINT "B"` not `PRINT "A"`
- **Implementation:**
  - Uses `runtime.next_stmt_index` from RETURN
  - Highlights exact statement to continue at
  - **Commit:** d04b7c8

#### 1.4 RETURN After End-of-Line GOSUB
- **What changed:** When GOSUB is at end of line, RETURN advances to next line
- **Why:** Properly handles statement index past end of line
- **Example:**
  ```basic
  10 FOR I=0 TO 5
  25 GOSUB 100
  30 NEXT I
  100 Q=1+1
  110 RETURN
  ```
  After RETURN, highlights line 30 (NEXT I) not line 25
- **Implementation:**
  - Checks if `target_stmt_index >= len(statements)`
  - Advances to next line if true
  - **Commit:** a803ecc

### What Other UIs Need to Verify:

**Curses UI:**
- ✅ Should already work (changes are in interpreter.py, not UI-specific)
- ⚠️ Verify: Statement highlighting updates correctly during stepping
- ⚠️ Verify: Jumps (GOSUB/RETURN/NEXT) update the highlighted line

**Web UI:**
- ✅ Should already work (changes are in interpreter.py, not UI-specific)
- ⚠️ Verify: Statement position display updates during stepping
- ⚠️ Verify: Jumps show correct next line/statement

### Test Cases Added:
- `tests/test_gosub_return.py` - Comprehensive GOSUB/RETURN tests
  - test_gosub_at_end_of_line
  - test_gosub_mid_line
  - test_nested_gosub

## 2. Smart Insert Line (Ctrl+I)

### Status: ✅ WORKING in Tk UI

### Changes Made to Tk UI:
**Files:** `src/ui/tk_ui.py` (lines 141-142, 242, 1473-1591)

#### 2.1 Smart Insert Line Feature
- **What it does:** Inserts a line between current and next with midpoint calculation
- **Keyboard:** Ctrl+I
- **Menu:** Edit > Insert Line
- **Behavior:**
  - Cursor on line 10, next line is 30 → inserts "25 "
  - Cursor on line 10, next line is 11 → error "No room to insert line"
  - Cursor on last line → inserts line 10 greater than current
  - Cursor positioned after the line number and space
- **Implementation:**
  - Bound to text widget (not root) to prevent tab insertion
  - Returns 'break' to prevent default tab behavior
  - Calculates midpoint between current and next line
  - Inserts line and positions cursor

#### 2.2 Tab Insertion Prevention
- **What changed:** Ctrl+I bound to text widget, not root widget
- **Why:** Prevents tab character insertion before executing smart insert
- **Implementation:**
  - `self.editor_text.text.bind('<Control-i>', lambda e: self._on_ctrl_i())`
  - Returns 'break' to stop event propagation

#### 2.3 Blank Line Parsing Fix
- **What changed:** Regex for parsing line numbers now accepts end-of-string
- **Why:** Lines like "25 " (just number and space) weren't being parsed
- **Implementation:**
  - Changed `r'^(\d+)\s'` to `r'^(\d+)(?:\s|$)'`
  - Matches whitespace OR end of string
  - **Files:** `src/ui/tk_ui.py`, `src/ui/tk_widgets.py`

#### 2.4 Line Formatting Preservation
- **What changed:** Save operation preserves exact line format (no leading spaces)
- **Why:** MBASIC compatibility, consistency across UIs
- **Implementation:**
  - `_save_editor_to_program()` strips only trailing whitespace
  - Adds lines exactly as formatted: `f"{line_num} {code}"`
  - Never adds leading spaces

### What Other UIs Need to Implement:

**Curses UI:**
- ✅ **COMPLETE:** Implement Smart Insert Line (Ctrl+I) - `curses_ui.py:1875-1988`
- ✅ **COMPLETE:** Add "Insert Line" to menu - Updated menu display
- ✅ Handles blank lines correctly
- ✅ Ctrl+I properly bound (doesn't insert tab)

**Web UI:**
- ✅ **COMPLETE:** Smart Insert Line - `web_ui.py:551-684`
- ✅ **COMPLETE:** "Insert Line Between" in Edit menu - Dialog-based approach
- ✅ Blank line parsing works
- ✅ Uses dialog instead of Ctrl+I (better for web interface)

### Implementation Details for Other UIs:

```python
def smart_insert_line(self):
    """Insert a blank line between current and next line."""
    # 1. Get cursor position
    # 2. Parse current line number
    # 3. Find next line number
    # 4. Calculate midpoint: (current + next) // 2
    # 5. Check if room to insert (midpoint > current)
    # 6. Insert new line: f"{midpoint} "
    # 7. Position cursor after the space
```

**Edge Cases:**
- No program lines: Insert "10 "
- Last line: Insert current + 10
- No room: Show error dialog
- Blank current line: Parse from nearby lines

## 3. Variables Window Column Swap

### Status: ✅ WORKING in Tk UI

### Changes Made to Tk UI:
**Files:** `src/ui/tk_ui.py` (lines 578-585, 639-657, 680-681, 926-935, 1049)

#### 3.1 Column Order Changed
- **What changed:** Variables window columns swapped from (Type, Value) to (Value, Type)
- **Why:** When window is partially visible, easier to see var name and value
- **Implementation:**
  - Treeview columns: `('Value', 'Type')`
  - Headings: "  Value" before "  Type"
  - Insert values: `values=(value, type_name)`
  - Column widths: Value=140, Type=80

#### 3.2 Sort Handling Updated
- **What changed:** Heading text updates match new column order
- **Implementation:**
  - `_sort_variables_by()` updated for swapped columns
  - `_on_variable_heading_click()` updated for swapped columns

### What Other UIs Need to Implement:

**Curses UI:**
- ⚠️ **Verify:** Check if variables display has columns
- ⚠️ **If yes:** Swap to show Value before Type

**Web UI:**
- ⚠️ **Verify:** Check variables table column order
- ⚠️ **If Type before Value:** Swap to Value before Type

### Implementation Notes:
- This is a UX improvement, not critical for functionality
- Only affects display order, not data storage
- Easy to implement: just swap column definitions

## 4. Statement Highlighting Position Fix

### Status: ✅ WORKING in Tk UI

### Changes Made:
**Files:** `src/parser.py` (lines 340-342)

#### 4.1 Off-by-One Error Fixed
- **What changed:** Statement char_start/char_end now correctly 0-based
- **Why:** Lexer uses 1-based columns, but array indexing is 0-based
- **Implementation:**
  ```python
  # Convert from 1-based column to 0-based array index
  stmt.char_start = stmt_start_col - 1 if stmt_start_col > 0 else 0
  stmt.char_end = stmt_end_col - 1 if stmt_end_col > 0 else 0
  ```
- **Example:** "PRINT I" at columns 3-10 → char positions 2-9 (not 3-10)
- **Commit:** ba21341 (from previous session)

### What Other UIs Need to Verify:

**All UIs:**
- ✅ Should already work (changes are in parser.py, shared code)
- ⚠️ Verify: Statement highlighting shows correct characters
- ⚠️ Verify: No first character missing from highlight

### Test Case:
```basic
10 PRINT I: GOTO 20
```
- "PRINT I" should highlight all 7 characters
- "GOTO 20" should highlight all 7 characters

## Testing Checklist

For each UI, verify with this test program:

```basic
10 FOR I=0 TO 5
20 PRINT I
25 GOSUB 100
30 NEXT I
40 END
100 Q=1+1
110 J=J+2
120 RETURN
```

### Tests:
1. ✅ Set breakpoint on line 20, run, should pause at line 20 BEFORE executing
2. ✅ Step (statement), should highlight line 25 GOSUB
3. ✅ Step (statement), should highlight line 100 (jumped to subroutine)
4. ✅ Step through 100, 110
5. ✅ Step at 120 RETURN, should highlight line 30 NEXT (not line 25)
6. ✅ Variables window shows I, Q, J with Value column before Type column
7. ✅ Smart Insert on line 20: should create line between 20 and 25 (line "22 " or "23 ")
