Is ld hl,(ix+1) allowed? What does neg do? How fast is scf? How many bytes would ld a,(ix+2) take? These are just some questions you and I probably sometimes have. Though you maybe an experienced Z80 assembly programmer, you probably have Z80 instruction tables and timings on hard copy when you're coding. When you think of something that raises a question about the syntax or timing, you look it up in those papers.
This will be history with CA3. TeddyWareZ is proud to introduce Code Tool Tips (CTT's). With CTT's you can get all kinds of answers to your question... By pressing ctrl+shift+space after you typed (a part) of a MNEMONIC, you can give a call upon the CTT's to show you some info about that MNEMONIC as you can see in figure 45.

I don't think I have to tell really much. Notice the L | T structure... The L stands for Length and displays the number of bytes the MNEMONIC will take. The T stands for Time and displays the number of T-states that instruction will take.
That's it, have fun with it!
