[jEdit-Syntax-devel] Update: To-Do list

[Henning, O. <Hen...@lo...>]

Hi,

here is an updated to-do. Feel free to implement (preferred ;-) or make
suggestions. Let me know if you work on some item. 

Greetings,
Oliver

==============================
ToDo jEdit Syntax Highlighting
==============================

Last update: 04.12.2002


Non-critical changes and bugfixes will go into the 2.2.x branch whereas
major changes (which could cause stability/reliability problems due to core
changes)
will go into the 2.3.x branch which I will open as soon as I get the
necessary contributions. I am the maintainer, not merely the sole developer.
So do not expect me to act like Santa Claus. I am happy to test and
integrate contributions, though.

If you suggest or offer a new feature, please keep in mind that it should
not require JDK 1.4 or higher.
I think it's reasonable to assume JDK 1.3 (for now).

Necessary / Important
=====================

+ Undo (with keybinding)
+ Word wrap
+ Switch to file based token lists
+ Switch to file-based settings (colors, keybindings, etc.)
+ Dialog for settings
+ Push/Pop bookmark
+ Block indentation of selected text with [TAB] key
+ Drag&Drop support
+ Code quality
   - Enforce naming conventions (e.g. .eolMarkers -> .showEOLMarkers)
   - Verify visibility of class members (e.g. internal methods should not be
public)
   - Self-/Stress-/Regressiontests


Nice-To-Have
============

+ Code completion
+ Parameter info
+ More tokenmarkers
+ Format-only edit mode
   - insert/delete whitespace (spaces, tabs, carriage returns, etc.)
   - delete/edit/insert comments
+ Advanced bookmarking
+ Mouse-wheel support (it's easy since 1.4, but what about 1.3?)
+ Textfolding
