- Added more hints

[MacVim/jjgod.git] / TODO

Active:

- Listen to NSSystemColorsDidChangeNotification and update highlighting
- Add support for 'mousehide' (needs to check p_mh)
- Build Vim (make) from Xcode project
- Cmd-W in about box sends vimMenuAction: instead of performClose:
- Terminal support.  :!bash -> no cursor, arrow keys mucks up display
- Press Cmd-n multiple times and quickly press Cmd-q; sometimes two or more
  instances of MacVim opens up
- hide toolbar, open new tab, show toolbar: baseline sepearator still visible
  (seems like a drawing bug in PSMTabBarControl)
- file modified outside vim dialog sometimes only appear after pressing a key
- let user choose file encoding and format in open/save dialogs
- view menu option to show/hide gui status line
- autosave settings ?
- encoding -- convert strings from vim to utf-8
- main menu (buffers menu, window menu)
- standardize NSString usage (initialization & how it is passed in messages)
- autosave window rows&columns?
- set gfn=* ?
- improve drag and drop support (drop in command line mode not working,
  modifier keys are ignored)
- grey out menus which can't be used: Tab Next/Prev/Close, Undo/Redo, etc.
- find/replace toolbar item (FIND_REPLACE_DIALOG)
- drag-to-resize, delay if mouse button held down
- ability to modify key equivalents at any time
- validate menu actions for when no windows are open (e.g. selectNextWindow:)
- need E??? numbers for vim errors
- tab-completion for :action command?
- proper font handling
- check for memory leaks
- i8n
- change building procedure so that the Makefile compiles and links VimTask and
  then calls pbxbuild to build MacVim (and put MacVim.app) in the src folder
- icons for all built in toolbar items
- window title is never set when starting with terminal vim and typing :gui
- forking doesn't work with :gui (i think)
- make sure [NSMutableData appendByte:length:] is never called with 0 length
  (this will lead to a crash)
- update speed whilst resizing with mouse is excruciatingly slow
- window count should be typeset nicely in tab ?
- marked text
- track pad scrolling is jerky
- sanity check all input in handlePortMessage: etc.
- nice looking cursors (both the block and in insert mode) ?
- support project builder external editor
  http://www.codingmonkeys.de/techpubs/externaleditor/pbxexternaleditor.html
- dock icon menu
- horizontal scrolling with trackpad does not work
- got this error when clicking to close second last tab:
    2007-07-23 08:19:29.398 MacVim[335] *** Assertion failure in -[PSMTabBarControl lockFocus], AppKit.subproj/NSView.m:3248
    2007-07-23 08:19:29.410 MacVim[335] lockFocus sent to a view whose window is deferred and does not yet have a corresponding platform window


Pending:

- System colors don't come out the same as in other apps (as measure with
  Digital Color Meter)
- Select-mode for <S-Key>
- Insertion point blinking
- Hollow insertion point drawing does not always work
- cursor in replace mode
- should ignore action message if is called too often (e.g. in addNewTab:)
- application:openFiles: should open in tabs in current window instead of in a
  new window, only if user default is set
- Mouse cursor changes depeding on context
- Ctrl-C does not update screen until another key press (in command window)
- Underline color is never set properly (sp_color)
- Lock up when opening large session files (increasing MMFlushTimeoutInterval
  alleviates this problem)
- Respond to "should change" instead of "will change" tab messages 
- scrolling when mouse is over scrollbar doesn't work
- gui dialogs (FEAT_GUI_DIALOG)
- no warning when buffer modified outside vim (implement gui_mch_dialog())
- call gui_focus_change() when appropriate
- ability to interrupt vim (needs to check the run-loop for interrupts)
- got this error on Cmd-N with no other windows open:

- got this error when opening MacVim from terminal (with 'gvim gvimrc&'):

- toogle toolbar off, maximize window, toolbar on -> text view under toolbar
- clicking pill button does not update 'guioptions'
- detect Cmd-. (and Ctrl-C) for interrupt


Done:

- :popup
- popup menus
- when only one tab open make <D-w> close window
- cscope, ctags
- Ctrl-O in insert mode
- remember window position
- font selection dialog (:set gfn=*)
- services menu
- wide characters are badly supported: they render as too wide
- dropping directories does not work
- memory leak with text view? (need to release text storage)
- drag and drop inside view (FEAT_GUI_DND, gui_handle_drop())
- hide baseline separator when tabbar is visible (and make sure clicking the
  hide/show toolbar button in the top right of the corner does not show it
  again)
- toolbar drawing bug
- Cmd-zoom -> no input received, drawing broken
- scrollbars not positioned over resize box
- offset text away from left edge
- add menu options with key equiv:
    Cmd+Option+Left/Right to change tab, Cmd+x/c/v cut/copy/paste,
    Cmd+z/Z undo/redo, Cmd+o open, Cmd+w/W close tab/window,
    Cmd+Option+T special characters,
    etc.
- menu key equivalents
- startup is a bit flakey (up until openWindowWithRows:columns:)
- background color of text view doesn't get set if :colorscheme is in .gvimrc,
  since textView=nil when setDefaultColorsBackground:foreground: is called
- resize window on font change
- don't clear the text storage on setMaxRows:: so that display does not go
  blank when dragging to resize
- zoom&resize broken
- add user default for min/max tab size
- :colorscheme elflord, :set lines+=3 --> colors are not updated properly
- use DO to communicate between GUI and Vim (only for two-way communication,
  one-way communication should still use mach ports)
- make scrollbar inactive if it is too small to display properly
- make vertical scrollbars cover command line as well
- setting font in .gvimrc has no effect since textStorage has not been init'ed
- fonts
- scroll bars
- Make MacVim project depend on PSMTabBarControl project
- Change Makefile so that it builds a vim executable and copy this into the
  MacVim.app from the MacVim project
- warning before closing modified buffer
- On quitting, warn user if modified files are open
- An untitled window should not open when the GUI is started from the terminal
  (figure out how to pass '-nowindow yes' option when launching GUI)
- support using VimTask as a standalone terminal app, with support for :gui
- path is set to / when not starting from command line, set it to $HOME instead
- input of wide characters does not work
- tab completion doesn't work on iMac
- close icons on tabs don't appear on iMac
- toolbar
- copy runtime files to bundle properly (only works for debug at the moment)
- don't resize to make window bigger than what can fit on screen
- window resizing using mouse & zoom
- cmd-click to maximize window, :tabnew...the text view overlaps the tabline
- colorscheme changes are buggy (open two tabs, change colorscheme, open new
  tab;  the new tab has wrong color on first and last lines.)
- tab selection bug: open three tabs, selct middle, drag last tab so it becomes
  middle without selecting it, select middle tab...selects middle, then last
- tab selection bug #2: :tabnew, drag tab #2 to pos #1, press enter.  tab #2 is
  selected.
- this stuffs up the display: set go-=e; :tabnew
- with 2 tabs: closing one tab using mouse makes screen flash (does not happen
  if tab is closed using :q)
- resize to fit every draw update
- insertion point
- copy/paste
- compute text storage size based on actual content
- color changes (:colorscheme)
- set text storage dimensions properly when creating text view
- text dimension changes
- notify vim task when user closes/selects tabs
- mouse handling in text view
- file type associations (Info.plist)
- drag and drop onto app icon
- remove tab update hack when flushing (edit vim code to call update)
- crash when typing :browse e $vim (but not :browse e $vim/)
- maintain queue of messages to send from task (to ensure they are passed in
  the same order they arrive)
- do not include shift flag in chars that are already shifted (%, A, etc.)
- open file(s) in tab(s) (never open in new window?)
- key handling:
    <M-Space> works, <M-S-Space> does not
    clean up dispatchKeyEvent
- reordering tab pages (gui tabs must have same order as vim tabs)
- make sure tab is wide enough to fit label
- encoding (did_set_string_option, option.c, line 5675)
  in init:
    set_option_value((char_u *)"termencoding", 0L, (char_u *)"utf-8", 0);
