  38     <p>
  39        Dragging over text on some platforms (notably OS X) will ripple because Scintilla only measures text in whole pixels.
  40        Could be improved by using floating-point coordinates.
  41     </p>
  42     <p>
  43       Automatic scrolling when text dragged near edge of window.

  51     <p>
  52        Folding for languages that don't have it yet and good folding for languages
  53        that inherited poor folding from another languages folding code.
  54     </p>
  55     <p>
  56        Simple pattern based styling.
  57     </p>
  58     <p>
  59        Different height lines based upon tallest text on the line rather than on the tallest style
  60       possible.
  61     </p>
  62     <p>
  63        Composition of lexing for mixed languages (such as ASP+ over COBOL) by
  64        combining lexers.
  65     </p>
  66     <p>
  67        Printing support on GTK+. Maybe Postscript output or use Gnome?
  68     </p>
  69     <p>
  70         Stream folding which could be used to fold up the contents of HTML elements.
  71     </p>

 104         Features I am unlikely to do
 105     </h3>
 106     <p>
 107         These are features I don't like or don't think are important enough to work on.
 108         Implementations are welcome from others though.
 109     </p>
 110     <p>
 111         Mouse wheel panning (press the mouse wheel and then move the mouse) on

 113     </p>
 114     <p>
 115         Adding options to the save dialog to save in a particular encoding or with a
 116         chosen line ending.

 119        Directions
 120     </h3>
 121     <p>
 122        The main point of this development is Scintilla, and this is where most effort will
 123        go. SciTE will get new features, but only when they make my life easier - I am
 124        not intending to make it grow up to be a huge full-function IDE like Visual
 125        Cafe. The lines I've currently decided not to step over in SciTE are any sort of
 126        project facility and any configuration dialogs. SciTE for Windows now has a
 127        Director interface for communicating with a separate project manager
 128        application.
 129     </p>
 130     <p>
 131        If you are interested in contributing code, do not feel any need to make it cross
 132        platform.
 133       Just code it for your platform and I'll either reimplement for the other platform or
 134       ensure that there is no effect on the other platform.
