yarden: adding-saving app position and size

Added under Interface (or it could be under Customization as well.. heh)

Two feature suggestions (if not already suggested – second hasn’t, not sure about first one):
1. Restore files opened from last program Exit
2. Restore cursor location (and perhaps scrollbar location if a scroll is available) within files from last program Exit

...oh, and…
3. Restore main file viewed (once multiple files/tabs are added)

These should probably be optionally set. (Restore upon Program Startup: X, X, X)

Vlad: idyllrain: aplease, make this feature switchable. ;) I don’t like when my Notepad++ remembers all opened files.

Haha, you are mistaken. I’m not one of the devs :P I just help compile all the feature requests into one thread to make it easier to refer to :P

p/s I don’t like it when Ultraedit remembers all my opened files too… haha… although I suppose somewhere in there is an option to toggle it off.

Is there anything we users can do to help with development? Besides donating. Hmm, come to think of it, you should get a PayPal account or something, I don’t see a “Donate” button anywhere…

yarden: The versions are not releases. 0.2.2 may be the “next release”, for example. :)

Ad Autopairing: I never saw this feature implement in a good way. It always does something I don’t want to. Providing another parser thread that will only balance paired characters is a big overhead, but this is planned for prototyping.

• Vertical block selection (alt+keys, alt+mouse)
• Opera-like selection 8-) doubleClick – selects word, +1click – sentense, +1+1click – line/paragraph e.t.c….. maybe in far far future? ;)
• Escape sequences search/replace (If regexp search checkbox turned on – escape search becomes disabled)
• Bookmarks (Ctrl+Shift+B to set, Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2…. to navigate… or Ctrl+F2/F2)
• Absolutely idiotic feature, but implemented in some editors – ruler… you may ignore this line :)
• Faster cursor movement – cursor moves at double speed (as option)

A. Interface

• Always on top option

• Being able to double-click (selecting a word) and continue dragging (with the second click) to select more words.
• Automatic pairing of brackets (well, any character basically… plus the ability to specify those characters in a config file)...

martincohen: Ad Autopairing: I never saw this feature implement in a good way. It always does something I don’t want to. Providing another parser thread that will only balance paired characters is a big overhead, but this is planned for prototyping.

I would love it if you could elaborate on your little mini-rant there. I would have some suggestions for how this feature could work I guess, if I would just sit down and think about it. I think it could work in a pretty unobtrusive way if designed right…

Btw, the CSS for quotes in the forums here is a little weird. Could you change it to blockquote > p { margin: 0; } ?

Frederick: I would have some suggestions for how this feature could work I guess, if I would just sit down and think about it. I think it could work in a pretty unobtrusive way if designed right…

#Develop’s autopairing automatically inserts an ending brace character after you type the beginning brace and press the Return/Enter key. The inserted brace character is indented at the same level of the first brace. It’s pretty nice.

Btw, added the two to the list.

Do it how PHPEd just did it…

PHPed Website:
PHP Smart-Quotations and Brackets: If a user deletes a quote or bracket that was just entered, PhpED will optionally delete the closing quote or bracket that was just generated by the IDE. It will also override the generated quote or bracket if you type closing quote or bracket yourself.

I think that’s the way it should be…smart, intuitive :)

• Multiedit :-P

idyllrain: Now that is so cool! What editor is that?

Delphi 2007 IDE
