And while I am on the topic, I am also not impressed with the Delphi 10.1 Starter. It did install ok, and seems generally to work, but the IDE is brain damaged. Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow and Ctrl+Alt+Dn Arrow are both dead. I probably use those more than most others.

I spend my work days in D2007 and XE7, which for their various faults, both seem better than this mess.

If this is marketing, I will eat my hat.

    Bon appétit.
    There are a lot of keyboard shortcuts disabled in the Starter edition. Shift+Ctrl+C (Class completion) for example. And useful debugger features, too.

    What madness. How is this supposed to gain customers?

    I expect it's designed to give the users a taste for development with Delphi, and hopefully lead to a sale. If those IDE features were included for nothing, there'd be less incentive to buy. That said, one can go too far with how much is left out, resulting in complete demoralisation and consequently no sale.
