[Gambas-user] IDE change requests

[Robert Rowe]

I've been making some improvements to the IDE lately. They are in 
Gambas3 and I'll be backporting then to Gamabs2 soon. I'm interested to 
know if there is anything that people really want the IDE to do. Or is 
there something that it's currently doing that you want it to do different.

I've been watching this list for about a week now and have been 
constructing a To Do list. I'd like to work on things that a lot of 
people really want though so I need some feedback.

Here's some of the things on my To Do list (in no particular order)

Integrate the help into the IDE so that you see the help when you need 
it. For instance I'm trying to add a small textlabel at the bottom of 
the property window to display help on the selected property. I'd like 
to extend this to work with the completion window also.

Add a class builder wizard similar to the one in VB. Maybe some other 
builder wizards in the future.

Split screen editors (already completed in Gambas3)

A code snippets tool to store/retrieve often used code. Possibly with a 
connection to an online repository to allow sharing of snippets.
