Description

@dyaandys

When in the tracer, if the cursor is in the first column, hitting Edit should cause the editor to appear. This is particularly important in a function such as

foo
a←goo
b←hoo

Note: remove the leading spaces before hitting EP in the editor when creating foo.

_where there a no spaces before a or b on foo[1] and foo[2]. If this is the case, then the only way to convert the tracer window into an edit window on foo is to to go foo[0] and hit Edit there.

It would be good to have this in Ride 4.6 and later, but if easy enough, I might ask for Ride 4.5 too.

I've marked it as a bug as it seriously limits the ability to edit from the tracer ..
