Hi,

Sounds like an interesting approach, but I doubt that it will work for the
Pure C IDE.
@Thorsten You probably know: Does the Pure C IDE call PC.TTP when compiling,
or is the compiler also part of the IDE binary?

Even if it turns out that this does not work for PC (see above), I still
think this is an interesting feature. I might even have use for it even if
it would not work with PC. For non-C projects I use a different editor, and
of course it has the same keyboard repeat problems as PC has.

In case you implement this, one should still be able to override (toggle)
this setting with the usual kayboard shortcut for enabling/disabling
fast-forward mode.
