When we have enough critical mass behind the language-specific features, it'll be obvious when it warrants a menu of its own.</p> <p>Looking towards the future, it would be nice if this could be a configurable thing... be able to turn on/off language-specific menus, assign tools/macros/etc to them. Obviously that's a way-down-the-line type of request. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/589#post-2149 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 12:45:10 +0000 simon 2149@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I think in the current release the best option would either be as a bunch of scripts or extension commands. Once things are working well and there are a lot of options then a scheme-specific menu might be a good idea. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/589#post-2123 Sun, 31 May 2009 07:12:34 +0000 jumpfroggy 2123@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Looks like a great library, surprisingly capable. So now I wonder, how would we integrate this stuff? Most of these types of features would be necessarily language-specific, so maybe we could have an optional language-dependent menu? I envision a &quot;Python&quot; menu that only shows when you're editing a python file (or have the current mode set to python) that would include all python-specific actions. Same thing could happen for other languages/file types (ie. a &quot;Java&quot; menu, &quot;HTML&quot;, etc).</p> <p>Does this sound right? Is there a better way to do this? </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/589#post-2106 Tue, 26 May 2009 15:02:05 +0000 simon 2106@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>There's another ide-supporting python library called rope which has lots of goodies:</p> <p><a href="http://rope.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://rope.sourceforge.net/</a></p> <p>This is also worth having a play with, again there are bindings for other editors already. Rope does a lot more than PySmell providing refactorings and the like. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/589#post-2090 Tue, 19 May 2009 14:53:18 +0000 simon 2090@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I've been looking at PySmell a bit, and it would definitely be worth some time trying to integrate it for better Python intellisense:</p> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/pysmell/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/pysmell/</a></p> <p>There are other editor integrations, so it should be possible for PN too. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/589#post-2078 Mon, 18 May 2009 20:38:33 +0000 jumpfroggy 2078@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I've been working in python for a while now, and have used PN as my main editor for the past... year or so? Who knows. At any rate, I love it and consider it indispensable.</p> <p>And yet, I'm starting to want more IDE-like features. Specifically, the biggest points for me are:<br /> -great autocompletion (including the standard python libs, the libraries I have installed, and the modules in my current project)<br /> -&quot;find uses of&quot;<br /> -refactoring support for renaming items</p> <p>I know there is current autocomplete support, but that's just for predefined tags in the schemes file, right? Is it possible to do any kind of .py scanning for library/project tags? I'd love to type a class or function and have it immediately in the auto complete dropdown. Also, support for documentation/pydocs would help immensely here. Is there any support for this yet?</p> <p>&quot;Find Uses&quot; is probably the second most helpful thing after the autocomplete (with pydocs). Quite often while working on an app I need to know where a function/class is used, and having a &quot;Find Uses&quot; would be very helpful. I know this would be tricky in python, but it seems like it might still be possible for most cases. I realize this might miss things like:</p> <p>def func():<br /> pass</p> <p>def func2(f):<br /> a = f()</p> <p>func2(func)</p> <p>But at the very least could show most of the uses.</p> <p>Refactoring support I realize is very tricky in a dynamically-typed language like python. Perhaps Bicycle Repair Man (<a href="http://bicyclerepair.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://bicyclerepair.sourceforge.net/</a>) may be of use here.</p> <p>I've been investigating the other IDE's out there, I'm surprised that nothing seems to really fit. Eclipse+PyDev seems very buggy and inconsistent, and Wings doesn't do everything I need. I'd rather have something small and light like PN with some added IDE-like features, than jump into a full IDE with a messy UI and tons of unnecessary fluff.</p> <p>Any thoughts on any of this? </p>
