Hi
for a long time now, I've been planning to somehow improve
MD's source
editing experience with various kinds of coding assistance
techniques.
Still, I have been only investigating - I have yet to do
some coding...
I have looked into various IDEs: Eclipse, NetBeans and
VS.NET 2005, and
the first thing I noticed about them is that they all have
specially
crafted editors - to perfectly integrate into the IDE and to
suit all
their needs.
Also, for a while, I've been looking into GtkSourceView's
internals - in
order to help adding new features we'd need at
MonoDevelop... Soon it
became clear that I'd have to be a dedicated GTK expert to
even dare
dream about adding any kind of new features (not to mention
the effort
needed to make new features available to Mono apps)...
Anyways, I don't
see myself working on GtkSourceView - ever...
However, I'm more and more fond of the idea to create an
editor designed
specifically for MonoDevelop (or any other Mono app).
Create a source editor with GTK# and Pango? Take a look at
how
SharpDevelop's, NetBeans' or Eclipse's (my favourite)
editors manage
things? Better integrate parsers with editors?
Lluis, is this a sane idea?
Enjoy,
---
Matej
