Immediate: full path needs to go in line number restore code? reload ^C breaks in Cygwin when piping into joe empty syntax file crashes? startup log should pop up whenever syntax files are loaded. joerc file messages are funny because of the :include autodetect xterm? it doesn't give enough information. did shell window in joe-3.2 3.2 create a new window? bugs? grep ... | joe missing lots sometime pipe into joe is broken. If it's a regular file, we should just load it. Make joerc merge program and run it on joerc.ru =-=-=-=-= Improvements for regular text ----------------------------- mode where wordwrap wraps rest of paragraph? mode where all editing wraps rest of paragraph? =-=-=-=-= should force -Wall if compiler is gcc =-=-=-=-= - rc file format needs revamping: You can not put comments on lines with string arguments. =-=-=-=-= option for compile window size (or make mfit prompt for the size) multi-file search & replace: check for deleted 'B *'. =-=-=-=-= - We need regexp for error parsing. =-=-=-=-= - better grep-find (trigger in ^KE) - need current directory for grep-find. =-=-=-=-= - search: automatically use 'k' mode if there is a block selected? Cursor should jump to top of block when done? Modes for this? - stop macro execution at ^KK? Compiling: ---------- Key to bring up help on word under cursor: like pop up window with man page, or google search for the function. man -P cat -S 2:3 printf work with cscope? hit F1 to look up man entry for function? Tags file search should auto-run ctags if there is no tags file. It should update it if any files have changed... gdb inteface? run (when segfault, jump to given source location) run-to step-over step-into eval (to look at variables) peek up stack frame allow options after string and istring? -just note it for now. Makefile.in and Makefile.am need to be the same as Makefile. 820497 reload files which have changes (for example after cvs update) 622978 use last column 1218685 utf-8 problems in hex mode ideally we should ignore utf8 and crs in hex mode. next, save and restore them. last, at least clear these modes. when we change from hex back to normal, position the cursor at a valid character. 1218708 ? for unknown characters is not informative (at least highlight the ?) 1218701 report character offset in ^K- (not just byte offset). 1304794 X at end of line is changed to space when character above 128 in utf-8 1221499 fix sysconf_joedir and sysconf_docdir 1323285 joe does not repeatedly wrap searches (add an option for this?) 1218686 syntax hightlight in hex mode (sheesh!) 1211243 long $HOME causes joe to crash 531899 joe +23 is weird: cursor on startup line 1413863 sigwinch breaks tcsetsw which messes up keyboard? I haven't seen this Garbage collect line attribute databases. Parse xterm version number. we should store location of menu. menu_above could change while menu is open (but menu could be deleted, so this raises other problems). performace: getcontext causes huge cpu usage for very large functions (xp_useq.v for example). Short (infinite) list for 3.4: -smart bs/tab is driving me up the wall: if (sdfjklhsdfkjhsdfjkh sdflks dfkjshdf sd sdfkjhsdkjfhsdkhsd) . <- thinks this is indentation point. -tab should default to tab? - improve mnew/mold etc so we can gzip/gunzip files being edited (maybe recursive call to file recognizer with .gz removed). - when lock is stolen under us, we don't tell anyone. - reformat/reindent function on ^KJ - insert last word (last word typed/copied/etc.). - orthogonal jump - safer hex edit mode - win32? DOS? - man page - cygwin- make sure we put files in the right place. - dynamic spell checking with highlighter- there should be a way - smart-end key Mouse issues: - autoscroll: keep track of selection type (double-click or triple-click) - just scroll window with right button down? help screen mouse commands? double-click at prompts hits enter? double-click empty prompt, hits tab? right-click pops directory? right-click is cancel? double-click is yes? - i18n issues: hex is screwed up. utf-8 file encoding needs to be off for hex mode. also crlf mode. - - - - Dangerous situations: assume maint->curwin->object is a BW * call interactive functions (like doedit) and expect them to leave maint a buffer window (it could start a prompt). should check plain file checking. vs, zstring, cstring, there are too many, each with its own memory management. - - - - - - - - - backspace in picture mode (it jumps to end of line - should it be like left-arrow?) - - - - - - - - - name keyboard macro and append it to .joerc file - - - - - - - - - update man page - - - - - - - - - hex edit mode - force switch to overtype mode? - think through i18n consequences (goto bol when switch out of it). - - - - - - - - - security hole with spell checker - - - - - - - - - commands should be as deterministic as possible for easier macro writing. (some prompts give defaults sometime... this is bad) (psh should save all possible state information) - merge math with macro language - tab at math prompt should go through variables, functions. - eliminate need for : separator - add loops, user defined functions with local variables - add comments - user should be able to bring up a program and hit 'eval'. - use ivy? - - - - - - - - - better editing in shell windows: use for calculator mode too? - - - - - - - - - highlight all words which match during search? - - - - - - - - - Reload modified files (or current window) (can be a macro: ^KE name rtn) (a user asked: can it periodically reload log file like tail -f)?

It's usually bound to options, so at least make options pass unknown characters back to keysequence parser. - save all files without asking thing for quick compile options are screwed up: we copy window to buffer (to get buffer options to the buffer). But if we have multiple windows, buffer options will have stale data. we are missing many query and prompt window abort handlers, which cause small memory leaks. regex: character classes? a-z matches any letter? can't load terminfo- should switch to termcap or provide compiled ANSI terminfo built in. Perl compatible regex search. Improvements for programming ---------------------------- Jump to definition (tags does this) Show list of references Diff mode (need vertical window) Tie in with CVS Refactoring Support for more languages: Reformat paragraph should reformat C function if we're editing C. File loading/storing: Unnamed buffers should be in bufed list (was fixed in the lost joe 2.9) Jmacs: search and replace 'fred' to 'foo': find 'Fred', gets 'Foo'. Rectangle mode for emacs yank system Overtype mode works for yank exiting options and i-search with ESC is not pretty (it isn't in emacs either) jmacs glitches: history for incremental search ^S return supposed to be normal search ^[ 0 ^K delete line bkwd (arg set) ^[ @ set mark arg words away ^X ^P mark page ^X h mark entire buffer ^X . set left margin (fill prefix) Shell windows: Better environment settings for shell windows. Documentation: Include documentation for joe hackers. I wrote a lot of this some time, I need to find it. joe should open tty earlier in startup sequence because ^Y is suspend character on sun. UTF-8/Internationalization -------------------------- byte to byte conversions? UTF-8 decoder right at input instead of in qw and utype? UTF-8 syntax files? - right-left mode for Hebrew/Arabic? There is no good way to do this. For all rtol, you could use a reversed xterm. For mixed, you need tags to indicate direction. Use memory mapped files to fast load large files. Have to not count no. lines in each buffer on startup. Emulate other editors? Brief, EDT? CUA? Prompts: HTML-style thing for option selection? Terminal handling: Emit ESC c to reset terminal on startup? Look into clearing right-most column. Major new display modes: Fixed record length mode Major code improvements: Vertical windows (optionally lock-stepped). Major new features: Folding Options Fix it so all options appear in ^T. Maybe make hook function to handle major changes. Other requests: -cleanup (delete extra lines and extra spaces at ends of lines).
