Re: VMD feature request

Post by seal58 »

Hi there,

I wanna propose some features for the VMD code editor.
Basically I'm pleased with that code editor. Used colors for different contents are very helpful. I really don't miss automatic completion of java statements. However, some fatures would make coding a little bit eaysier.

:idea: 1. Search function is rather good. It would be nice, when it would be combined with a replace option.

2. When using that search tool, all matching results within code get highlighted. That's fine. But during that search, screen focus jumps to anywhere in the java code. When there are lots of matching objects, one cannot really realise, which part of which method is displayed on the screen actually.

:idea: My proposal: Background color of a method line within module list of code pane should change, when text cursor is within that method.
Until now method name gets black on yellow, when clicking on it. What about using same color, when a mouse click anywhere in code appeares?

:idea: 3. Perhaps it were also possible to highlight a line in module list with another color, when it's code part is displayed in code window.

Here is an example. Which code part is shown?
