Christian Lenz updated NETBEANS-1771:
-------------------------------------
Issue Type: New Feature (was: Improvement)
> Read only characters should be possible inside Editor
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-1771
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1771
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: editor - Painting & Printing
> Affects Versions: Next
> Reporter: Christian Lenz
> Priority: Major
>
> In some Editors/IDEs like VS Code and the JetBrains family, it is possible
> that plugins or core functionalities, can print characters/words/whatever
> into the editor like showing the parameter names, when you call a function or
> debugging stuff right after the variables/functions or git annotations or
> complexity indices and and and. This is possible while adding stuff, which is
> only printed out to the editor as read only and not as normal text. Here are
> some links for what I mean:
> VS Code - Show complexity:
> https://code.visualstudio.com/assets/blogs/2017/02/12/codemetrics.png
> (Between Line 23/24)
> It will not add a new line, it is part of line 24 and read only, sometimes
> clickable, depends of what the functionality brings.
> VS Code - Git Information:
> https://code.visualstudio.com/assets/blogs/2017/02/12/preview_gitlens.gif
> (More complex example, but this ticket is not to implement such a feature, it
> is to implement the read only stuff to print stuff into the editor, which
> will not affect the Lines and is only one string which is not possible to
> edit.)
> IntelliJ Debugging Info:
> https://d3nmt5vlzunoa1.cloudfront.net/webstorm/files/2018/01/evaluate-expression.png
> (On line 9, 10, 11 and 14, you can see the the debug info is right after the
> EOL)
> IntelliJ parameter hints:
> https://d3nmt5vlzunoa1.cloudfront.net/idea/files/2016/12/idea_2017_1_groovy_parameter_hints.png
> (You can see the parameter names as hints)
> Everything is optional and can be done separately, but to add those
> functionality or other stuff, it is needed to add a global editor feature to
> add such hints/informations into the editor. This opens a lot more
> possibilites for developers.
> Maybe NetBeans still has such support, but I couldn't find it. I only found
> non printable characters, which will added like UTF8 code with a specific
> font.
> Cheers
> Chris
