Scintilla Bugs
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
At the end of italics style runs characters can be chopped off. An example
|
||
|
|
is using Verdana 12 point italics for strings makes an ending double quote
|
||
|
|
half visible and an ending single quote invisible. This is hard to solve
|
||
|
|
completely, may be better to avoid these situations by, for example,
|
||
|
|
choosing a font like Times New Roman for strings. There is a specific kluge
|
||
|
|
for the end of line which adds some room for italics but this does not
|
||
|
|
work elsewhere.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Dragging over bold text in some fonts will ripple because of the difference in
|
||
|
|
size between drawing all of a string at once and drawing it in parts.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Automatic scrolling when text dragged near edge of window.

Scintilla To Do
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Folding for languages that don't have it yet and good folding for languages
|
||
|
|
that inherited poor folding from another languages folding code.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Simple pattern based styling.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Different height lines based upon tallest text on the line rather than on the tallest style
|
||
|
|
possible.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Composition of lexing for mixed languages (such as ASP+ over COBOL) by
|
||
|
|
combining lexers.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Printing support on GTK+. Maybe Postscript output or use Gnome?
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Stream folding which could be used to fold up the contents of HTML elements.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Persisting view state such as current folding into a stream or blob so it is easy
|
||
|
|
to restore.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Move line up and move line down keys or move selected lines up / down.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Printing of highlight lines and folding margin.
|
||
|

Flow diagrams inside editor similar to

A VCL component wrapper around Scintilla so it can be used with Delphi or
|
||
|
|
Borland C++ Builder.
|
||
|
|
There is <a href="http://www.pnotepad.org/scintilla/">some work</a>
|
||
|
|
on this available.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
More lexers for other languages.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Automatically calculated range for horizontal scrolling.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Virtual space at the end of lines so the caret can be moved beyond the end
|
||
|
|
of lines with the cursor keys. May also make rectangular operations easier
|
||
|
|
to perform.

Features I am unlikely to do

These are features I don't like or don't think are important enough to work on.

Implementations are welcome from others though.

<h3>
|
||
|
|
Directions
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The main point of this development is Scintilla, and this is where most effort will
|
||
|
|
go. SciTE will get new features, but only when they make my life easier - I am
|
||
|
|
not intending to make it grow up to be a huge full-function IDE like Visual
|
||
|
|
Cafe. The lines I've currently decided not to step over in SciTE are any sort of
|
||
|
|
project facility and any configuration dialogs. SciTE for Windows now has a
|
||
|
|
Director interface for communicating with a separate project manager
|
||
|
|
application.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If you are interested in contributing code, do not feel any need to make it cross
|
||
|
|
platform.
|
||
|
|
Just code it for your platform and I'll either reimplement for the other platform or
|
||
|
|
ensure that there is no effect on the other platform.
