User:Max34/VDCEditor

VDCEditor is an upcoming chromium extension that will change the edit field from a regular flat textarea into a full-fledged code editor with syntax highlighting, line numbering and much more.

Note:You can suggest your ideas for expansion on the talk page.

Development progress

☑ Make the first edit using the new editor

☑ Change the style of the entire editor to the dark version

☐ Figure out how to implement the correct automatic loading of the script. Right now you have to click on a button to run the script, because loading it automatically will cause it to load before the page is fully loaded, which cuts off access to a lot of things that need to be changed

☑ Add line numbering

☑ Add Word Wrap setting

☐ Add code font size setting

☐ Make a status bar

☑ Make editor height saveable

☐ Add an indicator of the number of characters in the code

☐ Add a carriage location indicator

☑ Add highlighting of MediaWiki magic words

☐ Add highlighting to ϧ elements

☑ Add highlighting for mnemonics (not all mnemonics have been added. Need a complete list of mnemonics working on this site)

☑ Add highlighting to HTML elements

☐ Add highlighting to inline CSS

☐ Add highlighting to MediaWiki elements (hardest one)

☐ Implement the loading of translations directly from the VDC so that users can translate the extension directly from the site

☐ Implement the loading of brief documentation of templates when hovering over them with the mouse with Ctrl pressed

☐ Implement a color square next to each color (as in F12)

☑ Add attributes to disable unwanted actions with the editor (translate="no", spellcheck="false", autocorrect="off", autocapitalize="off")

☑ Add scrolling below content until only the last line is shown

☑ Add highlighting to parts of code similar to the part that was selected

☐ Add a setting to display control characters

☑ Add an icon and extension name to the top left corner of the editor to make it look like a separate application
