Suggestions for improving the MetaEditor

[Dmitry Fedoseev]

The brackets are illuminated, which is cool!

The colour is bluish, it's associated with the normal highlighting, and it makes you worry if you've hit a bracket. It would be nice if the brackets were highlighted in some greenish or yellowish colour, unlike the colour of normal highlighting.

Perhaps yellow would be better.

Seconded!

Constantly feels like the bracket is highlighted too.

I also agree.

I'd also like to see a function folding and a project navigator, Alt+M is not very handy, it could be removed altogether if there was a project navigator.

It would be even better if you could change the colour yourself in the settings.

C-4:
Even better, if you could change the colour yourself in the settings.

It seems redundant, let it be green/yellow and that's enough.

The other thing I would like to do, which is probably not difficult for developers to do, is to highlight external/global variables in colour. These are those variables that are declared before all functions and have global context within program module (indicator/expert/script). This is how input variables are currently highlighted. Even this highlighting of input variables is not as important as highlighting of external/global variables.

Developers, please think about it!

Add automatic hyphenation of long lines.

Add automatic transposition of long lines.

Don't.

The code editor itself is quite good, as for the colours, that's up to everyone's taste.

In my opinion, the debugging functionality is very lame:

1. To implement possibility to display variable values when hovering over them with mouse cursor.

2. Calculation of complex (nested) expressions when they are highlighted.

3. Ability to display all values of array elements in the debug window.

4. Calculation of complex (nested) expressions in the debug window.

   if (isBSSymmetric(M) == false)
    {
     for (int t = M + 1; t > ML; t--)
      bazis[t] = bazis[t - 1];
     bazis[ML + 1] = 0; 
    }

5. Possibility to approximate the debugging functionality to that of Delphi type systems.

1. Support separate colour selection for global variables.
2. Selecting colour and background for paired brackets. (as I for example always work on a black background).
3. Still lacks the ability to collapse strings.
4. Enable/disable auto-advancement of long lines.

No way, don't.
