3.1.4, State of Plugins, State of DrPython

[Daniel Pozmanter]

3.1.4 is in CVS.

I am rather liking the direction plugins are taking.

I myself run things pretty slim (TraceBack Menu, and a few plugins via index should I decide I need them), but I like the increasing selection, and people contributing.

At this point, if you have a feature you want implemented, you can write a plugin (or request one),
and for everyone else who wants that feature, it's in.

My questions are:

What plugins should be next?  What should have the highest priority?

What should be the future direction of the drpython core?  What should be (if anything) removed, and turned into a plugin?  What should be added/modified?

For the most part, new features will be added as plugins.

I think, maybe the classbrowser could be made as plugin.

I consider also a "startup" plugin, or any else name.
("plugin" is almost exaggerated)

the purpose should be to "overwrite" some things,
one don't like in the initialization of drpyhton,
without changing the program.

I think of changing some of the stc commands.

For years, I'm used (silly or not) of Ctrl-w delete word forward and alt-d for delete line.

so it could be for example:

DrFrame.txtDocument.CmdKeyClear(wx.stc.STC_KEY_DELETE,  wx.stc.STC_SCMOD_CTRL)

DrFrame.txtDocument. stc.CmdKeyAssign(ord ('W'), wx.stc.STC_SCMOD_CTRL, wx.stc.STC_CMD_DELWORDRIGHT)

DrFrame.txtDocument.stc.CmdKeyAssign(ord('D'), wx.stc.STC_SCMOD_ALT, wx.stc.STC_CMD_LINEDELETE)

there is the plugin codemarks.
We could also use the stc bookmarks.
(with the marker on gutter area)

I think, the bookmarks, which are rather file, or
directory marks, should be renamed to for example
Pathmarks (as in pype)
apropo: this could also be made as plugin.

also make as plugin perhaps the file find function.

BTW: A preview function in sf would be nice, before posting the text.

a startup plugin would be rather nice.
On that note, a psyco plugin would also be cool.

What I should do, is make sure the user can set
standard stc commands to whatever key (or keys) they want.

a rename could be nice, but not pathmarks.  Pathmarks change the path of pype (which is a rather nifty feature, especially for running shell commands.

(I named bookmarks after bookmarks in mozilla, etc.)
I am not sure what the best name would be (File/Directorymarks? FileSystemMarks?  Favorites?).

A classbrowser seems to be a very popular and well used part of drpython.  The find/Replace in files could become a plugin easily enough (Although I use that ALL the time).  Let's see if anyone else posts an opinion on the matter.
