roadmap and feature wishes and a bug

[mr.shintla]

hi paul and all others on this list

i've just come across neutronid and managed to set it up on squeeze. i like it very much. up to now i programmed everything inside vim directly on the server, but a browser based ide is great especially if you're going to refactor.

anyway i just wanted to ask if you have a roadmap and what features you have planned for next releases if so?

what i think could be useful:
- very basic integration with git/mercurial/svn (for me just svn ci -m "my note" <seleted files>, and svn update would cover 99%), of course i do this in the shell now. which brings me to the next and maybe better idea
- store and recall commands for the shell. this might speed up a lot of workflows around developing (i usually use around 5-10 tabs inside linux-screen. somehow screen is not working properly inside the shell)
- mark lines (its called bookmark in eclipse)
- simpler move/copy files (move is now possible via rename)
- i have not tested but maybe some collaborative and/or concurrent development would be cool and unique features. or is there already something implemented i've not seen?

ah, right and i've seen a bug. if i change key-binding to vim i get:
 Error: require("ace/keyboard/keybinding/vim") is null
 Sourcefile: https://xy:8000/static/ide/js/default.js
 Line: 101
in Firefox 13.0.1
and then then ui behaves very strange (tab change not working, changes not saved, ...)


i've not developed in python yet, but might going to have a look at your code. indeed a very cool project!
if you would add a donate button to your site, i will use it.

cheers.ivo

There is no roadmap but you can definitely file an issue for bugs or features you would like at:

https://github.com/pizzapanther/Neutron-IDE/issues?state=open

I try to do monthly releases, so every month I tackle a few new things.  Everything you suggested sounds good but I do have a few comments:

• Version Control Integration: definitely something I'd like to do, never got around to it yet: https://github.com/pizzapanther/Neutron-IDE/issues/24
  
• recall commands: Screen does some voodoo magic that is non-standard and the python terminal library I used does not play well with it.  Does bash history not suffice enough for this?
• mark lines: never really used bookmarked lines.  What is a use case for this?
• Simpler move/copy: definitely needed added at: https://github.com/pizzapanther/Neutron-IDE/issues/71
• Collaborative: definitely thought about this too and would love to add this but kind of clueless where to start with something like this.  Any ideas of a open source technology that would help do this?
• Lastly file your bug at: https://github.com/pizzapanther/Neutron-IDE/issues/70

hi Paul

thanx for answering. i was off...

of course this works. its not that comfortable if you have a bunch of
rather long commands or such. but at least one shell you're right.

i have a 10K lines File (i know this is bad, but i got it). another/the
right solution might be an file-overview ("function"-list like in eclipse)

hm. no. i dont know such. and it was just an idea. but maybe a "lock a
file" mechanism would work also to prevent concurrent editing the same
file...

thanx and looking forward for updates

cheers.ivo

When I was at Google IO, I met the developer for Ace Editor and he showed me some up and coming features.  One of them being a file overview.  So hopefully we'll see that soon.
