pentadactyl-pm/vimperator/TODO

Priority list:
1-9 as in Vim (9 = required for next release, 5 = would be nice, 1 = probably not)

BUGS:
- add window resize support to hints
- searching backwards incrementally does not work i.e. with 'incsearch' set
- http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535258.aspx does not scroll with j/k/etc.
  same for http://forum.mootools.net/topic.php?id=3458 and
  http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond/
  probable problem:
  @media screen {
  body>div#tocframe {
    position: fixed
    }
  }

- insert abbreviations broken on <space>
- :sidebar improvements (:sidebar! Downloads while downloads is open should refocus the sidebar)
- ;s saves the page rather than the image
- http://cgiirc.blitzed.org?chan=%23debug is unusable after login in
- :pageinfo should at least fail gracefully on :help pages (now it throws
  Error: Permission denied to call method XULControllers.getControllerForCommand)
- "g<" fails without a trailing escape because both "g<" and "g<C-g>"
  are mapped. Vimp should recognize "<C-g>" as an atom that should not
  be matched literally. In fact, typing "g<C-g>" out literally is
  equivalent to typing "g" and then <C-g>.

(recent CVS regressions):
- :set noflashblock seems broken (= :set fb? afterwards says "fb"), let's see if that's a
  plugin or a vimp issue.
- visual caret mode is broken, requires a manual page focus first anyway or
  else it chucks, I haven't investigated --djk
- messages is still broken in several ways - needs testing.
  => :ls | :echomsg "Foobar" doesn't add "Foobar" to the already open MOW.
  => it often overwrites the open command line while editing etc.
- <tags> and <keyword> autocmd 'keywords' are not available when adding a
  bookmark - they're being set after the observer triggers the autocmd event.
- MOW rendering is broken for multiple commands when open E.g. :ls | ls
- completion height is broken, try :a<tab>....<tab>, when it wraps it's totally off.
  and even if it is not totally off, i had it jump by one pixel when wrapping around.
  If that's unfixable, i propose reverting the new completion height stuff.
- Windows paths have escaped backslashes in messages - presumably due to
  String#quote change.
- :messages is _very_ slow for message history of several thousand lines ->
  Unresponsive Script: util.js:79 (sometimes xmlToDom() and elsewhere)

FEATURES:
9 finish :help TODOs
9 fix local options
9 adaptive timeout for auto-completions, :set completions can be updated more often than
  :open foo
9 use the storage module for autocommands
9 the NEWS file should be more easily available for users, via :help news or something
  at the moment you need to unzip the xpi or check the sources to view it, which isn't user friendly
8 support 'activate' in buffer.followLink?
  Leave this to the bookmarks.tabs.loadInBackground. Hint activation
  should be nearly equivalent to the corresponding mouse motion, and that
  mouse movement would be governed by the FF pref. However, :tabopen is
  something Vimp specific, and so it needs a specific setting (i.e.,
  activate). OTOH, I think it would be better if ";t" *always* opens a
  new foreground tab and ";b" *always* opensa  new background tab. So "F"
  should be the only hint mode that changes based on loadInBackground.
  --Ted
8 add support for filename special characters such as %
8 :redir and 'verbosefile'
8 middleclick in content == p, and if command line is open, paste there the clipboard buffer
8 all search commands should start searching from the top of the visible viewport
8 :addsearch wikpedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s  to allow saving of
  quick searches in the RC file.
  Why not just add a bookmark? --Kris
  This would require performance tests, how fast it is to add 20 keywords that way, as we need
  to search all existing bookmarks to see if the keyword is already defined, and then just update
  that bookmark. --mst
8 allow for multiple ex commands separated with |
7 use ctrl-n/p in insert mode for word completion
7 implement QuickFix window based on ItemList
7 [ctrl-o/i] to Go back to a Previous Position (done partly, however currently does not use a per tab jumplist)
7 wherever possible: get rid of dialogs and ask console-like dialog questions
  or write error prompts directly on the webpage or with :echo()
7 [d could go to the last domain in the history stack. So if I browse from
  google to another page and click 10 links there, [d would take me back to the google page
  opera's fast forward does something like this
7 make an option to disable session saving by default when you close Firefox
7 The output of the pageinfo-command should contain the security-information of ssl-encrypted sites
7 Add :every command
6 support private mode (and :set [no]private): http://ehsanakhgari.org/blog/2008-11-08/prepare-your-add-private-browsing
6 add [count] support to :b* and :tab* commands where missing
6 registers
  Here, unlike Vim, y and "*y would be equivalent. That is, the pasteboard would
  always be the default register. --Ted
6 check/correct spellings in insert mode with some mappings
6 add more autocommands (TabClose, TabOpen, TabChanged any more?)
6 jump to the next heading with ]h, next image ]i, previous textbox [t and so on
6 :grep support (needs location list)
6 use '' to jump between marks like vim
6 pipe selected text/link/website to an external command
6 Use ctrl-w+j/k/w to switch between sidebar, content, preview window
6 Command :tags for getting a list of used tags
6 ;?<hint> should show more information
5 when looking at a zoomed out image (because it's large), zi should zoom in
  maybe with this? : http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/content/html/document/public/nsIImageDocument.idl
5 make a command to search within google search results
  (http://gadelkareem.com/2007/01/28/using-google-ajax-api-as-an-array/)
  maybe impossible, needs a per-site key from google
4 } { should jump to the next paragraph of the page (maybe impossible)
3 A format for 'guitablabel' and 'statusline'
3 add a command-line window (:help cmdline-window in Vim).
3 Splitting Windows with [:sp :vsp ctrl-w,s ctrl-w,v] and closing with [ctrl-w,q], moving with [ctrl-w,w or tab]
  have a look into the split browser extension
1 Add information to liberator/HACKING file about testing and optimization
1 Document remote branches in liberator/HACKING
1 Reformat liberator/HACKING so that git diff can find sections and report changes @ somewhere
- many other ideas are listed in the wiki
