Comparison to PTUI
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
+ PTUI has a status line
|
||||
|
||||
+ PTUI's help is better (HTML!)
|
||||
|
||||
+ PTUI can attach a shell to any module
|
||||
|
||||
+ PTUI has more bells and whistles:
|
||||
+ PTUI has some more I/O commands:
|
||||
open multiple
|
||||
append
|
||||
examine
|
||||
|
||||
? PTUI's fontify is faster but synchronous (and still too slow);
|
||||
does a lousy job if editing affects lines below
|
||||
|
||||
- PTUI's shell is worse:
|
||||
no coloring;
|
||||
no editing of multi-line commands;
|
||||
^P seems to permanently remove some text from the buffer
|
||||
|
||||
- PTUI's undo is worse:
|
||||
no redo;
|
||||
one char at a time
|
||||
|
||||
- PTUI's GUI is a tad ugly:
|
||||
I don't like the multiple buffers in one window model;
|
||||
I don't like the big buttons at the top of the widow
|
||||
|
||||
- PTUI lacks an integrated debugger
|
||||
|
||||
- PTUI lacks path and class browsers
|
||||
|
||||
- PTUI lacks many of IDLE's features:
|
||||
- expand word
|
||||
- regular expression search
|
||||
- search files (grep)
|
||||
- (un)tabify
|
||||
- center
|
||||
- zoom height

||||
examine (what's that?)

Robin Friedrich's items:
|
||||
|
||||
Things I'd like to see:
|
||||
- I'd like support for shift-click extending the selection. There's a
|
||||
bug now that it doesn't work the first time you try it.
|
||||
- Printing is needed. How hard can that be on Windows?
|
||||
- The python-mode trick of autoindenting a line with <tab> is neat and
|
||||
very handy.
|
||||
- (someday) a spellchecker for docstrings and comments.
|
||||
- a pagedown/up command key which moves to next class/def statement (top
|
||||
level)
|
||||
- split window capability
|
||||
- DnD text relocation/copying
|
||||
|
||||
Things I don't want to see.
|
||||
- line numbers... will probably slow things down way too much.
|
||||
- Please use another icon for the tree browser leaf. The small snake
|
||||
isn't cutting it.
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Customizable views (multi-window or multi-pane). (Markus Gritsch)
|
||||
|
||||
- Being able to double click (maybe double right click) on a callable
|
||||
object in the editor which shows the source of the object, if
|
||||
possible. (Gerrit Holl)
|
||||
|
||||
- Hooks into the guts, like in Emacs. (Mike Romberg)
|
||||
|
||||
- Sharing the editor with a remote tutor. (Martijn Faassen)
|
||||
|
||||
- Multiple views on the same file. (Tony J Ibbs)
|
||||
|
||||
- Store breakpoints in a global (per-project) database (GvR); Dirk
|
||||
Heise adds: save some space-trimmed context and search around when
|
||||
reopening a file that might have been edited by someone else.
|
||||
|
||||
- Capture menu events in extensions without changing the IDLE source.
|
||||
(Matthias Barmeier)
|
||||
|
||||
- Use overlapping panels (a "notebook" in MFC terms I think) for info
|
||||
that doesn't need to be accessible simultaneously (e.g. HTML source
|
||||
and output). Use multi-pane windows for info that does need to be
|
||||
shown together (e.g. class browser and source). (Albert Brandl)
|
||||
|
||||
- A project should invisibly track all symbols, for instant search,
|
||||
replace and cross-ref. Projects should be allowed to span multiple
|
||||
directories, hosts, etc. Project management files are placed in a
|
||||
directory you specify. A global mapping between project names and
|
||||
project directories should exist [not so sure --GvR]. (Tim Peters)
|
||||
|
||||
- Merge attr-tips and auto-expand. (Mark Hammond, Tim Peters)
|
||||
|
||||
- Python Shell should behave more like a "shell window" as users know
|
||||
it -- i.e. you can only edit the current command, and the cursor can't
|
||||
escape from the command area. (Albert Brandl)
|
||||
|
||||
- Set X11 class to "idle/Idle", set icon and title to something
|
||||
beginning with "idle" -- for window manangers. (Randall Hopper)
|
||||
|
||||
- Config files editable through a preferences dialog. (me)
|
||||
|
||||
- Config files still editable outside the preferences dialog.
|
||||
(Randall Hopper)
|
||||
|
||||
- When you're editing a command in PyShell, and there are only blank
|
||||
lines below the cursor, hitting Return should ignore or delete those
|
||||
blank lines rather than deciding you're not on the last line. (me)
|
||||
|
||||
- Run command (F5 c.s.) should be more like Pythonwin's Run -- a
|
||||
dialog with options to give command line arguments, run the debugger,
|
||||
etc. (me)
|
||||
|
||||
- Shouldn't be able to delete part of the prompt (or any text before
|
||||
it) in the PyShell. (Martijn Faassen)
|
||||
|
||||
- Emacs style auto-fill (also smart about comments and strings).
|
||||
(Jeremy Hylton)
|
||||
|
||||
- Output of Run Script should go to a separate output window, not to
|
||||
the shell window. Output of separate runs should all go to the same
|
||||
window but clearly delimited. (David Scherer)
