Future

Code Browser is far from being perfect and there is a lot to add (and to remove), but today it suits my need: i.e. writing code in any programming language in a smalltalk style browser. With such a tool, I can focus more on the program structure than the implementation details. I use this editor to work on other projects, but I still spend some time to fix bugs and to implement minor features

This page is not a roadmap, just ideas I would like to implement in the future. Of course this is not an exhaustive list and all suggestions are welcome.

New tabs

Implementing custom tabs would allow to add a close button, icons (a read only icon for instance) and more.

Scripting

The editor really needs a scripting capability to automate tasks, customize behaviors, or to transform the text.

But I haven't decided yet which scripting language to use.

Simplified Configuration

Yet powerful, the current configuration is not easy to understand and to master. I would like to replace it with a more traditional interface to edit settings without loosing too much of the flexibility of the current system.

Quick new

Having quickly a new transient buffer is often desirable, and the "New" command requiring a filename can be very annoying.

It's been designed this way to get the right configuration from the beginning (syntax highlighting, tab mode, ...), bu may be, the default configuration should be sufficient until the first save.
