I forgot to schedule the post below. It is still relevant if you create a machine with lots of Delphi versions on it.

I wish the Delphi language supported multi-line strings
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/06/21
Very often, I see people ask for how to embed multi-line strings in a Delphi source file.
The short answer is: you can’t.
The long answer is: you can’t and if you want you have to hack your way around.
The answer should be: just like any of these languages that do support multiline strings:
- Python
- embed them with triple single quotes or triple double quotes: [WayBack] 3. An Informal Introduction to Python — Python 3.6.1 documentation – strings
- JavasScript
- as of ECMAScript 6, you can use backticks: [WayBack] Template literals – JavaScript | MDN
- Ruby
- Via the Here Documents syntax: [Archive.is] File: literals.rdoc [Ruby 2.2.0] – Here Documents
- C#
- By prepending the opening double quote of a string with @: [Archive.is] Code: Generating Multiline String Literals (Visual C#)
Many languages support this through a feature called HEREDOC.
Now in Delphi and other languages like Java are building ugly workarounds like for instance this one: [WayBack] RAD Studio Tip: Using resource scripts to organize project dependencies. – Chapman World.

The .NET garbage collector sort-of documented: coreclr/garbage-collection.md at master · dotnet/coreclr
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/31
Very interesting read: “Garbage Collection Design” by Maoni Stephens at [WayBack] coreclr/garbage-collection.md at master · dotnet/coreclr.
It’s part of this series of documents:
The Book of the Runtime
Welcome to the Book of the Runtime (BOTR) for the .NET Runtime. This contains a collection of articles about the non-trivial internals of the .NET Runtime. Its intended audience are people actually modifying the code or simply wishing to have a deep understanding of the runtime. Below is a table of contents.
at [WayBack] coreclr/Documentation/botr at master · dotnet/coreclr
I got there via these links:
- [WayBack] Maoni0 on Discussion on reorganizing gc.cpp – how he documented the current design
- [WayBack] Karlz on Discussion on reorganizing gc.cpp – why the state is at is it now
- [WayBack] Discussion on reorganizing gc.cpp · Issue #408 · dotnet/coreclr

Some useful Visual Studio Keyboard bindings – via my comment at “Allow for floating windows · Issue #10121 · Microsoft/vscode · GitHub”
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/30
The thread at [WayBack]: Allow for floating windows · Issue #10121 · Microsoft/vscode · GitHub made me discover a few things, which I have commented there.
Reminder to self: find the Windows keyboard shortcuts as well.
Thanks @steinhh for the
Cmd–KOkeyboard combination. I was not aware of that yet and I am going to use this next week on a multi-monitor system to see how well that works.Your tip made me found the PDFs below and made me make the lists/screenshots below as well.
Terrific! Thank you, thank you!
- https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings,
- https://code.visualstudio.com/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts-macos.pdf and
- https://code.visualstudio.com/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts-windows.pdf
The bindings (on Mac) I found with their screenshots:
Cmd–Shift–P: show all commands
Cmd–KO: open current file in new WindowCmd–Shift–N: open a new window
Cmd–KCmd–R: open keyboard shortcuts reference PDF for current OS in the default web-browserCmd–KCmd–S: open keyboard shortcuts editor
The keyboard shortcuts editor has a search which can find bindings on the keybinding name itself or the command name:
