Sublime Text-like features

[pierreporte]

Sublime Text is one of the best text editor currently available with a common user interface (that is, not Vim-like nor Emacs-like) and it has very nice features that will be useful for LaTeX users. Here is an unsorted list of desirable features:

• Minimap
• Multi-line cursor
• “Do everything” popup (with Ctrl+P)
• Make the invisible characters in selections
• Highlight all occurrences of the current selection

Hi! thanks for the propositions.

At the beginning of texiteasy I though about implementing the minimap, but it is really hard, so I think we can forget about it from now :)

There is already a small support for multiple cursors (for instance if you select the name of an environment in the begin command, it also select it in the end command, to write the new environment in both command at the same time). I plan to improve this to have full support of multiple cursor (starting with vertical selection)

"do everything" popup is also great, but hard to implement, and for now there is not a real plugin architecture in texiteasy so it is not as important as in sublime text.

"Make the invisible characters in selections" hard to implement due to the structure of the project, relying on Qt Framework.

"Highlight all occurrences of the current selection" that's something I really want to implement in the near future!!

I'll keep this issue open to remember the propositions
