XML Namespaces and XSD Code Completion / Autocomplete

Alexander Blach (Developer) 13 years ago in General • updated 13 years ago • 3

Scenario

Right now I am learning XML and trying to create a schema for Balsamiq (unofficial schema for my workflow), but I have to fire up VS 2012 RTM on my laptop and I need to constantly flip between a schema that works with intellisense and one that still has issues, not to mention having a tutorial page open to learn the specs.  As I have described, you can imagine I have limited visibility of either schema, which means I need to constantly adjust the size of the window panes.  This has another problem, there is no scrolling synch (unlike Word 2007-2013), which makes it extremely difficult to spot differences.


Why do I still use this method?

Intellisense is the reason, being allowed to reference known Schemas makes my job a little easier.


Suggestion

1.  Add ability to reference Schemas, so that autocomplete works with XML and other XML related languages (XAML, YAML, XSL, XSLT, etc).

2.  Add ability to store custom Schemas and reference them with other Schemas.

3.  Implement a synchronized scrolling feature that allows users to spot differences between 2 documents (similar to the Notepad++ diff plugin or Word 2010 if you want to wait to add diff).

Automatic tabulating

Vitaly Ishkulov 13 years ago • updated 13 years ago • 1
When I copy text that is tabulated and insert it to the place with different tabulation, Textastic doesn't rebuild tabulation. 
As far as I know Textmate has such feature to rebuild tabulation of the code block.

Here is the example screenshot of Textastic after copying and pasting http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1332508/AirShare/IMG_0060.jpg

Better use of the return key when creating files and folders

Nevets 14 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago • 3
Could it be possible to create the file or folder when I tap the return key instead of moving to the top of the screen and taping the Done button.

syntax highlighting for text markup formats

dan mackinlay 14 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago • 1
I'd like syntax highlighting for restructuredtext format in particular. more generally I suspect most folks would like Textile, markdown and possibly some other plaintext markup standards

Use Clang/LLVM for code completion

moonpulse 14 years ago • 0
While a C++ compiler may not be allowed in the app store, one could add the code analysis part of clang/llvm for code completion and remote xcode control for compilation.

A close button

Andrea Moro 14 years ago • updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 14 years ago • 1
It seems that this has not been suggested yet.
If a file is "open" in edit mode, it can be downloaded from web dav or even within the same app.

1) create a close button to allow people close the file, so to commit any pending change or whatever is necessary.
To "unlock" the file it looks like the only thing to do is to move to a different file. But it is going to create a loop if you don't have a dummy file in the folder.

2) within the file transfer panel, if someone attempts to delete an opened file, just propose a pop-up that inform the file is opened in editing. Ask what to do
a) close with save
b) close without save

is there a way to hide the line, column UI element in the corner of the text editor?

Kyle Sherman 13 years ago • updated by Daniel Pyle 13 years ago • 5
I'm finding the small line, column view in the top right corner of the screen to cover the text I'm working with, and I don't need it. Is there a way to hide it?

Save indicator and/or save button

Tom Livingston 10 years ago in iPad • 0
It's a bit nerve wracking to wonder if a file is saved, especially after a lot of time spent working. It would be nice to have an indicator showing when a file is saved or saving, or a way to manually save a file - a button or icon to click
