Somewhat urgent:
|
2018-01-11 20:50:58 +00:00
|
|
|
- Make undo/redo work also for justifying.
|
2016-09-08 10:09:53 +00:00
|
|
|
- Detect when text is being pasted, so that we can handle it faster.
|
|
|
|
See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40060.
|
|
|
|
- Allow color syntaxes to apply to more than just color, so that we can
|
|
|
|
e.g. specify a different alternate spell checker depending on which
|
|
|
|
file type we have open.

Vague musings:
|
2018-01-11 20:50:58 +00:00
|
|
|
- Add support for right-to-left text (RTL), through FriBidi?
|
2017-04-02 11:03:21 +00:00
|
|
|
- Allow setting marks (saved positions, not to be confused with the
|
|
|
|
mark set via Ctrl-^) at various lines and/or columns in the buffer,
|
|
|
|
and allow movement between them with a single keystroke?
|
|
|
|
- Make matching bracket searches sophisticated enough to skip over
|
|
|
|
brackets inside comments?
|
2018-01-11 20:50:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For version 2.9:
|
2018-05-27 17:30:25 +00:00
|
|
|
- Allow piping (marked) text to an external command and replacing it with
|
|
|
|
the command's output. That is: implement filtering. [DONE]
|
2018-01-11 20:50:58 +00:00
|
|
|

|
2018-05-27 17:30:25 +00:00

For version 2.4:
|
|
|
|
- Handle window resizes better. After we've resized, we should stay
|
|
|
|
wherever we were before we resized, as Pico does. [DONE]
|
|
|
|
- Allow even better file-type detection than we have currently, e.g.
|
|
|
|
through libmagic. [DONE]
|
2016-02-14 12:17:17 +00:00

2004-09-30 22:07:21 +00:00
