Some features

Post by tomnow »

Some features:

1. autoreplace function could work not only when i type space but also any non alphanumeral characters
2. when i'm editing css i must type space after : or ; to show autocomplete popup. i would like to be able to type only : or ; without this space (i would like to see autocomplete popup also on selectors with pseudoclass after :)
3. nonsaved document on taskbar i would like to be in other color (actually is * after filename). all documents on taskbar might be have X for close
4. opening many files and change active file on taskbar could work faster
5. todo list on the left sidebar
6. firefox preview with autoscroll to previous position when refresh (if its posible i would like to be more browsers in preview: opera, chrome, older versions of IE)
7. related styles on left sidebar (i wolud like to be possible to edit rules only this related styles)
8. filenames and dirnames on autocomplete popup. for example when i edit <img src="|" i would like to see not only 'choose image' but all directories and image files in active directory
9. autocomplete tags and brackets could be work only when document is invalid. for example:
i have: <ul> | </ul>
i add li tag: <ul> <li> | </ul>
document is invalid so autocomplete add end of LI: <ul> <li> | </li> </ul>
but if i have: <ul> | </li> </ul>
i add li tag: <ul> <li> | </li> </ul>
document is valid so autocomplete would be dont work. the same idea is with brackets and ", '
10. on find and replace window i would like to be bigger multiline textarea (actually this textareas with scrollbars have only 4 rows)
11. if its possible when i click with ctrl on classname id or tagname in html file, it would be a link to most important rule to this class, id or tag in css file (fast link to most important related style)
12. faster autocomplete popup (i would like to be possible to type <t[enter] fast and autocomplete add <table> (table tag is first on the autocomlete list) - now its not work and i must wait a second to show this popup and then type [enter])
13. if ist possible - mouse gestures
14. colors preview on same hints in html and css files
15. bug with autoindent. when i have wordwrap and previous line with indent is very long, a next line have no indent
16. other thinks writed on other posts - hints for html5, css3, jquery, smarty, image preview on file explorer...

sorry for my english, i belive that you understand me ;)

1. autoreplace function could work not only when i type space but also any non alphanumeral characters
=>Can you give an example of code?

2. when i'm editing css i must type space after : or ; to show autocomplete popup.
=>You can see the pop-up also using CTRL+SPACE

all documents on taskbar might be have X for close
=>Sorry, this has been asked for, but will not be implemented now. You can use the middle button of your mouse for this purpose.

4. opening many files and change active file on taskbar could work faster
=>Editor will work faster with new version.

5. todo list on the left sidebar
=>Sorry, currently this is not planned.

6. firefox preview with autoscroll to previous position when refresh
=>There will be preview-cursor synchronization with next major version, this might solve the issue you have described.

if its posible i would like to be more browsers in preview: opera, chrome, older versions of IE)
=>Built-in preview can have only Firefox and IE now.

7. related styles on left sidebar (i wolud like to be possible to edit rules only this related styles)

9. autocomplete tags and brackets could be work only when document is invalid. for example:
=>We have not planned any changes in nearest future here.

10. on find and replace window i would like to be bigger multiline textarea (actually this textareas with scrollbars have only 4 rows)
=>It is enough for other users.

11. if its possible when i click with ctrl on classname id or tagname in html file, it would be a link to most important rule to this class, id or tag in css file (fast link to most important related style)
=>Don't know if this would be used also by other users.

12. faster autocomplete popup (i would like to be possible to type <t[enter] fast and autocomplete add <table>
=>You can change delay for pop-up under Main Menu; Options; Preferences; Text Editor; Autocomplete

13. if ist possible - mouse gestures
=>Currently not planned, because nobody has asked for this as far as I remember. But seems a good idea.

i use autoreplace for letter mistakes. i have a rule that when i type 'hieght' it wolud be autochange to 'height'.
but if i type 'hieght:' autoreplace not work. it only work when i type 'hieght[space]'
7. related styles on left sidebar (i wolud like to be possible to edit rules only this related styles)
=>Sorry, I do not undestand.
For example: when i edit h3 tag all related styles would be on the left sidebar. i could click and edit rules on this panel and it would autochange style file

For me the most important feature must increase productivity
I dont use any wizards for links, images, tables, becouse faster for me is then i type this code
For me editor must be more intelligent. It must guess what i want type next second and suggest or autocomplete this.
If i can write html and css code 10% faster i can pay for this editor 100% more.

I analized what repeated operations i do on html and css files so i have many many small features how editor should autocomplete my code.


for example:
1. when i type enter:

Code: Select all

<ul>
 <li>...</li>[enter]
</ul>
editor create next li tag:

Code: Select all

<ul>
 <li>...</li>
 <li>|</li>
</ul>
2. when i type block tag and click enter:

Code: Select all

<div>|</div>
editor add two line with indent

Code: Select all

<div>
 |
</div>
3. when i remove start tag, editor remove end of tag also, and decrease intent of tag content

4. autoreplace mistakes in code (when i type undefined tag, attribute, value or function name)

and many more...
