Damon Cooper has a heavily commented post asking what people’s favourite IDE’s and what they would like to see in them. I have been reading the comments and gleaned some features that people would like to see, I shall post a follow up with regards to tackling these features and if they can/cannot be done etc.
So, in no particular order, here are some of the requested features:
- Debugging support
- Defining a "site" with remote and local version
- EVERYTHING that is in HomeSite+
- BOM for Unicode pages
- Variable insight within a CFC (and I presume CFM page) from Queries
- Right Click to deploy to multiple RDS/FTP servers
- Create a file without actually creating a new file on the file system
- Fixes to colour highlighting (especially on dark backgrounds)
- Refactoring Support
- Hyperlinking to CFC's and CFC functions
- Awareness of external CFC's (without definition in code)
- Double click selects a whole tag
- Expression Builder
- Customisable toolbars
- Comparison of remote files
- "How to move to CFEclipse from HomeSite video"
- Customisable hotkeys for snippets
- Integrated Help
- Split Screen
- Customisable Code Colouring
- Stability improvements
- Frameworks Intelligence
- Better file explorer (by name, by date, by type)
- sFTP support
- Code Formatting
- Alternate File System support
- Fix Drag & Drop text
- Fix need to infrequently re-open the file
- Framework functions (create event etc)
- Unit Testing
- "CFEclipse to be like HomeSite+ without the bugs"
I shall try to answer my thoughts to all of these over a series of posts and see what people think about them, in the meantime, if there are any more features you can think of, let me know!
