I generally don't mind, but there are some cons as well. I've been
thinking about adding basename() call for some time (to explicitly set
a basename in your script instead of relying on the one received from
the IDE), but it was exposing too much of debugger internal handling
of the paths, which I wanted to avoid.
You may try something like this: add the following fragment at the end
of mobdebug.lua (before "return")
mobdebug.basedir = function(b) if b then basedir = b end return basedir end
You can then call it from your script with something like
require("mobdebug").basedir([[../../scripts/]]); note that you should
be using "Unix" path separators (even when running on Windows) and
it's one of those things that I'd prefer not to expose.
Basically, this basedir is a path fragment that will be removed from
your filename reported by the Lua interpreter and then combined with
the project path in the IDE to get the file name.

Thank you for the reminder ;). I actually made the changes I was
planning to make to enable tooltip callbacks (get the latest code from
github) and also added a plugin that you can use as a starting point
(https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBranePackage/blob/master/referencepanel.lua).
When you enable the reference panel (View | Reference Window) all
tooltips will be shown in that window; when it's hidden, the tooltips
are going to be shown normally. You can apply whatever processing you
want to those tooltips; for example, you can replace *foo* with foo
that will be shown using "bold" style (with a bit of Scintilla magic)
and so on. I think it may be enough as a starting point. That
reference window behaves in the same way as all other "additional"
windows in ZBS: outline, document view, stack, watch, etc (although I
made to always be docked; this can be changed).
Paul.
