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. 

 

  1. Auto-closing of quotes and brackets should not occur when there is already text present directly to the right of text.
    1. 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
  2. Cntrl clicking on a function parameter inside of a function will navigate to the top of the unit. Extremely frustrating copying and pasting parameters. 
  3. Auto-Fill / Suggestions do not honor block or function scope.
    1. 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. 
  4. Read in block comments for function documentation including description, parameter types and default values. 
    1. Currently the only thing displayed is the parameter name and the type being object
  5. Allow global variables and classes to be supported by function selector and auto suggestions.
  6. Provide a built in format on save with something like JSLint

Alternatively, providing plugins for something like Sublime text would also be very beneficial.
