    1. When i type some text like this:
    if ($blah == "blah") { [enter]
    // rest of code
    }
    it should upon enter, put my cursor 4 spaces away from the starting if statement.

    like this:
    if ($blah == "blah") { [enter]
    [space][space][space][space]// rest of code [enter]
    [space][space][space][space]}

    But since i type the } ending bracket for the first iff statement, you make that aling with the "i" in if.
    Ending up with:

    if ($blah == "blah") { [enter]
    [space][space][space][space] // rest of code [enter]
    }

    Now if i extended that to nested if statements:

    if ($blah == "yeah") { [enter]
    [space][space][space][space]if ($hello == "yes") { [enter]
    [space][space][space][space][space][space][space][space]// code for this if statement [enter]
    [space][space][space][space]}
    }

    Yeah, i am all about neat code. Personally i think indenting and the like helps keep the code readable, and easy to understand. So if this option could be added, it would be really nice addition.

    2. Match braces. So if we select one brace, we can hit this button, and it will find the matching brace for that if statement or function

    3. A code beutifier, something like this: http://www.phpedit.net/products/phpCodeBeautifier/ would be nice. This is for someone who writes sloppy code, and wants it to look good anyways and to the PEAR standards as they have been set by PEAR.

    4. A class browser kinda like Maguma studio has.

      Also, if you right click on the tab for a file, have it pop up a menu that lets you close the file and or save it.

        I would like to be able define what file types are highlighted, and define templates as well.

        I am using Dev-php for PHP-GTk, so some of my files are named .php-gtk (so they can be associated directly with php_win.exe). Also, I keep my classes in files called .class and extra functions in files called .inc  -- these should all be given PHP highlighting.. I'd like a method to set what highlights associate with what file types.

        Also, I'd like to define templates-- I dont need the stuff thats in the current PHP template, I keep having to erase it all and replace it with my own standard code.

        (I agree about the class browser too, that would be good. Like in visual studio. I do like the current function-goto-dropdown-list thing.)
