Bug report : 1 Mar 2020 : PE6 Terminal, control character behaviour ?

[Technical]

To use web based programming (via picaxecloud.com or webserial.io) you need to use a browser that supports the webserial API - ie Chrome/Edge/Opera.

An ALT+TAB keyboard press will let you very simply alternate between PE6 and any third party terminal application you like.

Actually, I don't think you understand my suggestion. I know Alt/Tab can switch between PE6 and any other prog, but this is not what I meant.

I meant that PE6 simulator should be able to switch between outputting text to 'PE Terminal' or text to a '3rd party terminal'.

If this could happen, then all screen navigation will be done by the user's PICAXE code sending escape sequences. This is the technique I had to use when I needed to navigate the screen. However, I had to download the code to a real PICAXE, and use a real serial port on my PC which was running TeraTerm. This meant I lost all the advantages of testing in the simulator.

It would have been so much easier if PE6 simulator sent the text directly to TeraTerm.

What do the numbers in the lefthand column refer to ?

In projects I've worked on professionally, the usual job of these type of numbers is to uniquely define a 'bug' or 'discrepancy' that needs attention.

The identical numbers shown above relate to two different issues.

There is at least one other duplicated number, which coincidentally (?) relates to another bug that I reported.
