[Gambas-devel] Some ideas for the Gambas IDE

[Patrik Karlsson]

Hi, here are a few ideas that I think would make the Gambas IDE a
little bit nicer.

1.Replace "[Modified]" with a "*".
Why? It takes less space and you dont have do browse with hte arrows
when having many open tabs/files.

2.Add a "Close all tabs" feature.
Why? It's quicker with one click instead of two.

3.Add a Keyboard shortcut for "Stop".
Why? So one can use keyboard instead of the mouse.

4.Fix tool tip or window title for search list. Tool tip is
Searchlist, Window title is FindList.
Why? It's nice if they are the same.

5."Close all other tabs" and "Close current tab" takes the open file
as the current and not the tab you right clicked on.
Why? Konqueror and every other program I know does the later.

6.Add minimize IDE on run option.
Why? Im used to it in delphi :) and the desktop gets cleaner.

7.Add "Reverse statement command". A selceted a=b would be b=a after a reverse.
Why? It's quick and nice.

8.Fix so that Tab on selected text does a  DELETE (of the selection)
and insert TAB (space)
Why? Every program I know do it this way.

9.Add Bold the current argument input in a procedure argument hint.
Why? When there are many arguments it's easy to keep track of what input I'm on.

10.And finally, a GTK app started from the IDE starts behind the IDE.

This is just my ideas, use them if you like, and keep up the good work!

PS I'm using 2.7.0
