SyntaxEdit

Next major release

• Rectangular selection
• Incremental search
• Basic auto-complete GUI which is based on user events and document contents
• Separate color scheme for View printing, (good for black-and-white printers).
• Custom text highlighting API, to let user highlight text ranges with some styles. This is useful for highlighting search results, various compiler errors etc...
• Tooltips show, based on user event.
• Major Parser reworking to implement following features:
  • Paired language constructs highlighting (begin/end etc, based on syntax)
  • EBNF-grammatics support, to create syntax schemes easier and more powerful.
  • Document structure treeview (document function and types lists). View's auto-complete feature can use this information.
  • Auto-complete based on document syntax constructs (procedures/functions/classes)
  • Visual editor for syntax schemes.
