I think which will make IDE & B4A better.
Doc
- Maintaining library repository. & allowing its access in IDE.
I think there should be a proper repository of b4a libraries. A Place where all libs are uploaded by user.So they can be downloaded by IDE. This will make easier for people to find needed libs.Everything should be searchable methods & descriptions.May be with brief description it will be better.I don't think its hard to do.i can help.
Each lib should have a unique id.There should be meta data in b4a so that they can be downloaded automatically.This will also make easier to update libraries to latest version.Which is a issue.I see many questions because of outdated libs.
There should be a poper naming convention in libs like init() for initialization.
- Settings import & export.
Although there are not much setting in b4a at present but if you implement my suggestions you should give options.
- Color of rapid debug.[Its a Bug]
Personally i hate that greenish color. Looks unprofessional.
- Options in filter.
Console log is missing filters. There should be custom filter like intext,Beginswith,ends with.
- Turn off debug
Can you remove all debug subs from IDE ? during compilation if user wantes.
- Word wrap in console log as an option
- Selection of text in console.
I think you should allow copying of text from console log. To copy a debug value i have to copy line & the paste it & then recopy
- More shortcuts.
Duplicate line,Move to sub declaration,move to usb end,comment block,Uncomemnt,Screenshot etc.
And it will be much better if you allow users to define custom key.
- Less popups.
I think erel is big fan of poups.Instead of tabs & frames he uses popups which i personally dont like.Its feels like i am now using another application when a popup appers. ex: Find,Compile. I can define layout if you wish.
- Auto indent
Auto indentation is something i am missing in this IDE,
Can you auto indent block to next tab when a block is closed.Deleting indent of multiple lines at once etc.
- Auto complete
IDE should have autocomplete of function name & variables. Autocomplete should look for doc block
- doc blocks.
Define a protocol so documentation in B4A program is easy.
As programs with many sub are tough to remember. - Plugins for IDE (If possible)
Please allow users to write plugins for IDE which will make your job less complex.
- Themes ?
- Cursor undo.
I miss this feature in every IDE.Can't i move to last position where my cursor was.
- Last opened projects list.Can i get list of last opened files ? A popup in beginning of ide Having all my projects.
