To Do Wish List

 

Refactoring To Do List

  • Add to EditorPosition class all the text testing and moving at caret position. Pass these through from EditorCaret - tests where flags are EditHelpers word boundary flags: - [ ] isAtBoundary(int flags) - [ ] isStart/isMiddle/isEnd OfWhitespaces : to test if at start/middle/end of whitespace run - [ ] isStart/isMiddle/isEnd OfWord : to test if at start/middle/end of whitespace run - moves: - [ ] atNext/atPrevious Word/Whitespace/NonWhitespace Start/End - [x] atStart/atEnd Column - [x] atIndent/atTrimmedEnd Column

 

 

To Do List

  • Add: per language override on IDE's trim trailing blanks with default if no specific override so that Modified Lines could be set for default and IDE set to ALL. - [ ] Options for default are: - IDE Setting - None - Modified Lines - All - [ ] Options per language are: - IDE Setting - MIA Default - None - Modified Lines - All
  • Add: scope based config for all language type settings
  • Add: option to disable trimming spaces from a line containing the caret with virtual spaces, or restore caret column after save to prevent caret jump.
  • Add: option to fix-up line endings after move line up/down based on context to add/remove ,; by looking at what the line had before in that position. Not language based but heuristic.
  • Add: option to delete to end of line to leave ; , unless the caret is right on it.
  • Add: option to use visual column for caret restoration. Less jarring with folded regions and works with soft wraps.
  • Add: sort lines options pop-up panel for selecting sorting by StringManipulation in multi-caret mode.

 

 

BeyondEdit Emulation To Do List

  • Add: full set of backspace/delete a la BeyondEdit: spaces, spaces/non-spaces, words/non-words/spaces. Escalating Forwards/Backwards Deletes: - [x] Spaces only - [ ] One of following contiguous stretches of (determined by what is the first character in the direction of operation from caret): whitespaces, identifiers, others - [ ] One of following contiguous stretches of (determined by what is the first character in the direction of operation from caret): whitespaces, non-whitespaces - [ ] To next/previous non-space by deleting contiguous whitespaces, contiguous non-whitespaces, contiguous whitespaces. With variation depending on the context of characters around caret so that after the delete whitespace/non-whitespace boundary at caret is preserved: - for delete: - if caret is on end of word (space delimited) then delete: spaces, non-spaces - if caret is on start of word (space delimited) then delete: non-spaces, spaces - if caret is in middle of word (non-space before and after) then delete: non-spaces - if caret is in middle of whitespaces (space before and after) then delete: spaces - for backspace: - if caret is on end of word (space delimited) then backspace: non-spaces, spaces - if caret is on start of word (space delimited) then backspace: spaces, non-spaces - if caret is in middle of word (non-space before and after) then backspace: non-spaces - if caret is in middle of whitespaces (space before and after) then backspace: spaces - [ ] To next/previous element as determined by caret context to be used for removing elements in lists the goal is to allow comfortable removal of characters to next point of context: list items, bracketed expressions, quoted expressions. This item needs thinking and experimentation: - separated as in comma separated, semi-colon separated, etc. i.e. character(s) used for separating items in a list - delimited as in round brackets, square brackets, angle brackets, etc. i.e. Surrounded in opening and closing character(s) - quoted as in singe quotes, double quotes, back-quotes, etc. i.e. Wrapped in same character(s) - whitespace delimited non-whitespace
  • Add: smart column aligned text editing based on lines around the caret line. Has the effect of having column based tab stops for purposes of keeping column formatted text aligned when insert/delete is performed: - a column aligned line range is surrounded by blank lines - can contain blank line if they are surrounded by a non-blank line in the range - can contain a range of 2 blank lines: - if the caret is on the first line and preceding line is in range and line after the second blank line would be in the range if the caret line was in the range. - if the caret is on the second line and succeeding line is in range and line before the first blank line would be in the range if the caret line was in the range. - can contain a range of 3 blank lines: - if the caret is on the second line and line preceding the first blank line and line succeeding the third blank line would be in in range if the caret line was in the range - if the caret is on the second line and succeeding line is in range and line before the first blank line would be in the range if the caret line was in the range. - contains 3 or more non-blank lines that have at least one dynamic tab stop - find a column position before which all lines either have - 3 or more spaces before and non-space at column - or have 1 space before 1 space after column - or have 2 spaces at or after column but before the next dynamic tab stop for the line range - [ ] Add: smart insert mode to preserve column alignment a la BeyondEdit mode. This one is a career decision because it affects typing, delete/backspace, paste (chars), delete char selections. - [ ] for single char insert, search forward on the line and first stretch of 3 or more spaces, delete one of them - [ ] for single char delete, search forward on the line for spaces to stretch by inserting spaces in the range: - 3 or more spaces - 2 spaces where the range of spaces ends on a dynamic column
  • Add: Drag/Copy/Move line selection. Dragging a line selection will copy/move it always between lines never in the middle. - [ ] Visual feedback is a horizontal line at the point of insertion - [ ] Default mode is copy with move via a modifier key. Specifically the reverse of word processor defaults because in code a copy is used ten times more often
  • Add: Drag/Drop-Replace mode for character selections - [ ] The drop target is highlighted to show it will be replaced - [ ] Smarts include determining what is being dragged by its surrounding context and adjusting the drop zone selection to match: ie. if source is a portion of camel humps then drop selects camel hump portion - [ ] If source is quoted then drop selects between quotes, if quotes included in source then quotes are selected in drop - [ ] If source is bracketed then brackets are used as delimiters for drop target - [ ] Modifier allows changing camel hump, quoted, bracketed modes - [ ] Additional modifiers to be used to manually select the drop range to be replaced - [ ] When highlights are implemented then the dropped on portion is to be added to the highlights. Optionally starting a Search/Replace operation with parameters that match the drop replacement so that further replacements could be done via replace/exclude/replace all.
