🔥 Ixnay "Code Insertion" buttons, eh?

Re: 🚧 In the Works: "Code Insertion" buttons

In retrospect, having now taken a long break from enhancing BASIC Anywhere Machine, I'm finding myself not wanting to finish this particular feature.

Aside from simply losing interest in that feature, I'm realizing a few problems:

  • Less importantly (because a work-around could be built), I do not like the amount of real-estate (screen space) the feature is taking.  This is not a huge issue on a large desktop display, but it gets problematic on a smaller display (a laptop or tablet.)
    • Although I know how I could design a proper interface to handle smaller displays ("no biggie" to do), designing/programming that just does not turn my crank.
  • More importantly, it is not something I want to maintain going forward if/when I update BAM statements/functions/etc.  It just does not sound like a fun thing to do.
