Actually, speaking of the IDE...

I started using it recently, and I find it extremely useful.

The only bugbears I have are with that editor.

Bugbear 1:

The Ctrl key doesnt work. if you hold down ctrl and use the arrow keys, it 
should shift the cursor left or right one word. (it doesn't right now)

Bugbear 2:

The Delete key should remove the character to the right of the cursor.
at the moment, it removes one character to the left, and one to the right.

Bugbear 3:
>The way it pops up
>now is a bit intrusive, to say the least.

I agree. If we could have a function key mapped to toggle that on and off 
when it pops up, that would be very nice.


Ask for Features (ie not bugbears :))

*When you set 'owner' of a control, it gives you a dropdown list?

*Make the namespace a little more tolerant of typing. IE atm it doesnt like 
you deleting all the characters in the name attribute before typing in a new 
one. If it could hold off until it loses focus, then perhaps that would be 
better.


Anyway, a fine effort Judith, David. Keep it up.
