Get busy -- a general TODO list

Having a Sunday all to yourself? Itchy coding fingers? Grab something from this list and start hacking!

Remember, fixing bugs may be boring but it makes for a good nights sleep -- check Open tickets in the issue tracker for bugs and problems which need some sweet hack love.

Long-lived bugs

The "Cmd+Q causes crash in -[KDocumentController windows]" bug

When terminating Kod it sometimes causes a BAD_ACCESS memory violation.

  • Ticket: Ticket 81
  • Currently hacking on this: (no one)

Features

Override default syntax highlighter

Pointers from rsms:

  • You want to query the +[KLangMap sharedLangMap] object for a list of language ID's and descriptions.
  • Probably add a read-only property for accessing langIdToInfo_ which maps language id to an info dictionary (human readable title, etc)
  • Then the current document has a langId property which can be key-value-observed (you want to setup and tear down KVO in -[KStatusBarController updateWithContents:])

Needs:

  • Slim dropdown in footer, to the right of the line/column numbers

  • Selecting option from it recomputed highlighting for the current viewed tab

  • Remember the choice, so when you close the file and reopen, it opens as the highlighter you selected (not the default chosen one)

  • Ticket: Ticket 53

  • Currently hacking on this: (no one)

A better and more flexible text parsing system

Kod currently uses Source Highlight to tokenize and parse text. This is a very limited system which has other issues as well (like being GPL so we can't patch it).

We want to have a system which have the following features:

  • Flexible and minimal core -- provide just enough low-level hooks to be able to do almost anything
  • High performance
  • Parallelize-able -- parsing should not be performed in the main thread as to avoid blocking the UI
  • Parsers written in JavaScript and executed by libv8 (libnode).
  • High-level human readable syntax "definitions" -- modeled on top of a universal/basic parser implementation

There is currently a kod-node API which should be "final" enough to start basing this work upon.

Syntax-aware indentation

Indentation controlled by the active text parser. See http://boredzo.org/blog/archives/2008-11-05/tabs-vs-spaces-redux

  • Ticket: Ticket 76
  • Currently hacking on this: (no one)
  • Depends on: New text parser system

Command-T "jump to file"

As described in https://github.com/rsms/kod/blob/master/ideas/location-bar-as-command-input.psd

Which would behave like https://github.com/jamis/fuzzy_file_finder (which is a derivative of http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1984). Demonstrated in this short screencast: http://s3.amazonaws.com/buckblog/videos/fuzzyfinder_textmate.mov
