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. + </p> + <h3> + GTK+ Version Bugs + </h3> + <h3> + 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. + </p> + <p> + Flow diagrams inside editor similar to + <a href="http://www.eng.auburn.edu/grasp/grasp_main.shtml"> + GRASP</a>. + </p> + <p> + 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> + Port to MacOS X. + </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. + </p> + <h3> + SciTE To Do + </h3> + <p> + Good regular expression support through a plugin. + </p> + <p> + Allow tools to transform the selection, performing an operation like + indentation or sorting. + </p> + <p> + Allow file name based selection on all properties rather than just a chosen few. + </p> + <p> + Opening from and saving to FTP servers. + </p> + <p> + Setting to fold away comments upon opening. + </p> + <p> + User defined fold ranges. + </p> + <p> + Silent mode that does not display any message boxes. + </p> + <h3> + Features I am unlikely to do + </h3> + <p> + These are features I don't like or don't think are important enough to work on. + Implementations are welcome from others though. + </p> + <p> + Automatically saving modified menu shortcuts on exit. + </p> + <p> + Mouse wheel panning (press the mouse wheel and then move the mouse) on + Windows. + </p> + <p> + Adding options to the save dialog to save in a particular encoding or with a + chosen line ending. + </p> + <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. + </p> + </body> +</html> |
