Code Editor Issues / Improvement Suggestions
Thought it might be a good idea to get a central place to list issues people might see with the code editor. I do have a few things already in mind. I solely use Javascript while scripting in the code editor, but this could apply to other languages as well.
- Auto-closing of quotes and brackets should not occur when there is already text present directly to the right of text.
- Ex. if you have a string say foo, and you position the cursor to the left of f, and enter a quote or or bracket, the closing quote or bracket will be applied so you end up with ""foo or [[foo
- Cntrl clicking on a function parameter inside of a function will navigate to the top of the unit. Extremely frustrating copying and pasting parameters.
- Auto-Fill / Suggestions do not honor block or function scope.
- If start typing a variable or parameter name inside of a function the auto-suggestions display parameters and variables for functions outside of your current scope.
- Read in block comments for function documentation including description, parameter types and default values.
- Currently the only thing displayed is the parameter name and the type being object
- Allow global variables and classes to be supported by function selector and auto suggestions.
- Provide a built in format on save with something like JSLint
Alternatively, providing plugins for something like Sublime text would also be very beneficial.
