Navigation SuperCollider IDE

Questions
1

After using Emacs and Nvim I’m back using the default SCIDE as it still has the best Help support and it makes more sense for a beginner like me.

I wonder how the navigation should work. There’s go to next block and go to next region.
The go to next region behaves strange in my case. When I’m at the first ( in the code below go to next region bring me to the closing bracket. And I also can go up again. However when being at the first closing bracket another “go to next region” bring me to the end of the document.
Is this how it’s supposed to work or is there a bug maybe?

Go to next and previous block brings me only to the start and end of the document.

~num = 4;
~num.reciprocal.postln;
~num.squared;
var num;

(
var num;
~num = 4;
~num.reciprocal.postln;
~num.squared;
)

I’m not able to reproduce the behaviour you are describing. I pasted your code into my editor and my results were consistent and seemingly logical.

Next region —> Goes to the next occurrence of ‘(’, or end of document if no more blocks.
Previous region —> Goes to the previous occurrence of ‘)’, or beginning of document …

I am on SC 3.14.0 on macOS. My only thought is, perhaps your keybinding may be colliding with a system keybinding? What OS are you running, and what key-combinations do you have them bound to?

Thanks.I tested on some other machines without any problem. I turned out that I obviously confused region with block. When choosing region it works as expected. Not sure what “block” is though.
