What is QScintilla

QScintilla is a port to Qt of Scintilla C++ editor: https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/qscintilla/intro

Robomongo statically links to this library.

QScintilla sources are provided in sources folder as-is, in their original form, without modifications. We should not put or modify any files in this folder. All changes to original QScintilla, if they are inevitable, should be documented here.

What was changed?

To make builds faster (and only for this) we commented all lexers, except CPP, in file src/Catalogue.cpp:

int Scintilla_LinkLexers() {
    ...
//	LINK_LEXER(lmA68k);
//	LINK_LEXER(lmAbaqus);
//	LINK_LEXER(lmAda);
    ...
	LINK_LEXER(lmCPP);
	...
}

We fixed problem of active caret when editor pane is not active. For this we commented single line in sources/Qt4Qt5/qsciscintillabase.cpp, line 345:

//    if (e->reason() == Qt::ActiveWindowFocusReason)

This problem was discussed at least here: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/1176

CMake integration

CMake build script is written according to provided qmake file: sources/Qt4Qt4/qscintilla.pro

How to upgrade

In order to upgrade to newer version of QScintilla you should:

1. Replace sources folder with newer version
