IMO cursor-past-eol and horizontal scrolling deserves some
considerations. Maintaining the horizontal cursor position during
vertical moves could be simplified.
Simplified, as in:
1- the implementation within synedit
Right. When I first/last inspected the code, many years ago, the entire
implementation was overcomplicated and error prone, and some options
were conflicting. At that time I implemented my own editor component,
and found that everything could be done much simpler. But as long as the
SynEdit works, there exists no urgent need for a redesign.
2- the user experience during usage
Sometimes it could be a bit less sensitive to errors in related
components. But except for the current multi-window redesign, the editor
and IDE was usable since 0.9.26, and has become very stable since 0.9.28 :-)
I'm also missing an option to turn off any automatism. Auto-indentation
with copy&paste doesn't match my coding style and expectations, in many
situations; the same for the automatic "end" insertion.
BTW, code completion *also* should work with e.g. "do" and other
keywords, for DoDock or Dock...
3- the way it is configured (through the editor options)
The configuration is fine :-)
