gpuedit/DEVELOPMENT.md

• fix autocomment not putting them after tabs
• reload files from disk on changes?
• multiple tab rows

== Horrible outstanding regressions ==

• Padding needed in font atlas
• One frame lag on highlight update sometimes (related to buffer/gbec internal render function call ordering)
• Cyan selection background for leading tabs is fucked when h-scrolled

== Needed before yzziizzy dogfooding ==

• Undo selections are somewhat broken; pivot is not saved accurately
• Resume search is broken
• Command to append text to end of code on line (;), but before comments

== Needed before fractal dogfooding ==

• probe searchPath entries for presence of git and fallback to regular ls
• if no .gpuedit.json, add launch dir to searchPaths
• autocomplete: render above line at bottom of screen, left of text if at right of screen

• ctrl+n: create /tmp/gpuedit.123456, delete on tab close rather than program exit

• bugz: buffer open/scroll is off by 1 (GBEC linesOnScreen unset)

• bugz: C-d comment not pushed into undo stack

• bugz: redo of single paste is multiple commands

• bugz: edit can read gibberish string data (repro: find sequence, backspace)

• bugz: undo of typing leaves bad cursor position

• debug pane showing all configs that were loaded, in order)

• edit control improvements

  • set correct selection on focus
  • sequence movement commands
  • click/selction interaction
  • port to replace box as needed
  • ctrl+backspace

• render whitespace characters

• ctrl+l/r jumps across tabs (sequence break on newline)

• sequence breaks that actually make sense

• selection paste option: mouse|latest/cursors

• paste: cursor at start/end of inserted text

• redirect debug output to a logfile

• highlight findset while valid even if find tray closes (opt)

• no centeroncursor for selection/sequence matches (opt?)

• find modes: plain|fuzzy|pcre|escape

• find match/ignore case

• copy cannot paste to pgadmin3 (INCR? mime type?), godbolt.org in FF

• undo breaks if selection reaches end of file

• undo system selection not recreated based on selection direction?
