  Needs implementation

  Implementation in progress

  Stable

Vim Mode

• Almost done

• Send upstream to GtkSourceView?

Emacs Mode

• Command bar should use new command definitions
• Unsure how to do chords with key accelerators

libclang integration

• Possible integration with gnome-code-assitance

• Parse configure output to find actual location of header files

• jump to definition

• Add syntax highlighting colors for functions, types, etc. in GtkSourceView]

auto-completion

• Depends on Apps/Builder/Planning/ProjectManagementproject management

• when auto-completing, show documentation in a popup

  • devhelp has this utility called "assistant"

using clang for errors

• Fancy drawing of errors inside the editor (popovers, gutter icons, etc.)
• Squiggly lines indicating errors (from clang diagnostics)
• Quick "Fix-its"

Snippets

• Automate commonly-typed things (e.g. GObject class definitions)

Editor State Machine

• Loading
• Saving
• Detecting file changes outside of Builder

Split windows

• Can be done by sharing a single GtkTextBuffer, but this doesn't allow for multiple selection support

• Maybe this can be implemented via the multiple-selection support that's needed for column selection

Settings

Per-language editor settings

• auto-indent
• tab-width

Pan-language editor settings

• Text formatting

Braces

• Overwrite braces ("typeover" of characters).
• Insert matching braces (insert match ])}'" for [({'"
