[Schemeway-user] newbie -- glad to be on board -- a couple of issues...

[Jean R. <jea...@sy...>]

Hi/salut,

I'm glad to join this community -- I have great hopes for Eclipse.  I've been 
doing Scheme development and Linux for 2 months now and have just installed 
Eclipse today.

Some issues with schemeway:

1) syntax highlighting not consistent across scheme file extensions:
By changing the order of the extension lists (in plugin.xml), I saw the 
behaviour of the highlighting change -- it seems to behave consistently and 
properly w/ the 1st extension (*.ss in my case) and not properly for the others. 
  e.g. comments aren't green and strings are wonky in *.ssi files.

2) Speaking of strings!!  Once I close the quote, I can't modify the string.  I 
have to delete it and retype it in from scratch and hope I don't make a mistake. 
  That's not right.  Am I missing something?  If this is part of the syntax-tree 
magic of Eclipse, it's a bad idea, IMO.

3) tutti-frutti parenthesis are super for editing s-expression-based source 
files.  Kate has those -- check it out.  Could such a feature be available in 
schemeway?

Thanks for your attention.  Looking forward to playing online.
