Now that RedyCode 0.9.0 has been released, i think the next thing i want to focus on is improving the text editor productivity.
- What specific features do you use frequently in a text editor while writing code? []
from easy to less easy not necessarily in order of importance:
- shift insert to paste, control insert to copy, shift delete to cut
- SciTE has a variety of good double and triple click behaviour
- double click at the edge of a word also selects white space on that side
- triple click select the whole line
- copy with nothing selected copies current line
- surround with various quotes, brackets or copy buffer items
- swap the item in the copy buffer at the point it was copied with the location and current cut item.
- control scrollwheel to increase/decrease font size
- scrollwheel click or double click to close tab
- scrollwheel click or double click on keyword to open its definition file
- scrollwheel click on empty tab bar will open a new file maybe with a dialog to select file type or pick from a menu later
- right click context menu could have choice of help or its definition include file
- regex search & replace. multiline input of regex and replacement text
- jump to ex.err line
- drag & drop selected text and control drag & drop to clone selected text
- multiple undo/redo
- macro record, playback and edit
