A list of desired features
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Vague musings:
|
|
- FriBidi support?
|
|
- Make matching bracket searches sophisticated enough to skip over
|
|
brackets inside comments?
|
|
- Allow indentation of marked text by spaces as well as tabs?
|
|
- Allow indentation to add just enough columns to reach the nearest
|
|
multiple of tabsize, rather than always adding tabsize columns?
|
|
- Allow conversion between different character sets.
|
|
- 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?
|
|
- Allow searching for and replacing newlines?
|
|
See also https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47053.
|
|
- New regression framework built on expect?
|
|
- Add the ability to move to different lines of the screen with a single
|
|
keystroke, e.g. M-` (M-~) to go to the top line, M-& (M-7) to go to
|
|
the center line, and M-' (M-") to go to the last line?
|
|
|
|
Somewhat urgent:
|
|
- Allow text searches in the help viewer.
|
|
See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28994.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- Allow piping marked text to an external command and replacing it with
|
|
the command's output -- that is: generalize the spell-check flow.
|
|
See also https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28993.
|
|
|
|
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]
|
|
- Compatibility with vim status files to let other editors know we're
|
|
in a file. [DONE]
|
|
|
|
For version 2.2:
|
|
- Rebindable keys? [DONE]
|
|
- Undo/Redo keys (M-U and M-E)? [DONE]
|
|
- Fix problems with color syntaxes highlighting lines too aggressively. [DONE]
|
|
- Allow nano to work like a pager (reading from stdin). [DONE]
|
|
- Allow color syntaxes to be selected based on more than just filename
|
|
extension. [DONE]
|
|
- Allow soft wrapping as well as hard wrapping? [DONE]
|
|
|
|
For version 2.0:
|
|
- UTF-8 support. [DONE]
|
|
- Support for paragraph searches. [DONE]
|
|
- Support for justifying the entire file at once. [DONE]
|
|
- Support for filename searches in the file browser. [DONE]
|
|
- Keystroke to implement "Add next sequence as raw" like vi's ^V. [DONE]
|
|
- Spell check selected text only. [DONE]
|
|
- Make "To Line" (^W^T) and "Read from Command" (^R^X) reenter their
|
|
parent menu when their keystroke is entered a second time (^W^T^T and
|
|
(^R^X^X) (requires figuring out when to keep cursor position and when
|
|
not to). [DONE]
|
|
- Fix resetstatuspos global which we shouldn't have. [DONE]
|
|
|
|
For version 1.2:
|
|
- Single-line scroll up/down? [DONE]
|
|
- Color syntax highlighting? (Certainly seems like there's a demand for
|
|
it.) [DONE]
|
|
- .nanorc [DONE]
|
|
- Backup making (filename~)? [DONE]
|
|
- Search/replace string history. [DONE]
|
|
- Implement Pico's -j and -g flags, as they are pretty easy to do. [DONE]
|
|
- Make mouse support work with clicking on the shortcuts (-m). [DONE]
|
|
- Implement -o (chroot of sorts). [DONE]
|
|
- Allow -r to take a negative argument, meaning right margin instead of
|
|
left (allows resizing that way), formerly -W arg. [DONE]
|
|
|
|
For version 1.0:
|
|
- Implement Spelling. [DONE]
|
|
- Implement Help. [DONE]
|
|
- Internationalization [In progress, translators welcome!]
|
|
- Allow nano to be resized in X. [DONE]
|
|
- On PageUp/Down, put the cursor on the first line (like Pico), not the
|
|
center line. [DONE]
|
|
- Rewrite edit_refresh, if at all possible. [DONE]
|
|
- Implement justify function. [DONE]
|
|
- Cut to end of line. [DONE]
|
|
- Built-in speller command. [DONE]
|
|
- Better statusbar interaction (scrolling, tab completion). [DONE]
|
|
- Unjustify command (^U after ^J). [DONE]
|
|
- Username completion (~user). [DONE]
