I vote strongly for suggestion 1. There could also be an optional yes/no
checkbox setting in Preferences so that no one is forced to use the feature:
Remember last Ctrl=E tag (default=no)
Suggestion 2 might be fairly straightforward to implement for CSS, where the
class= attribute is a reasonable default for most CSS elements. It would be
harder to implement universally for non-CSS XML formats, in which a given
element might have dozens of possible attributes. How would oXygen know which
attribute you mean to use?
It might be more useful for oXygen's Ctrl-E to accept any tag appended with a
dot as an attribute name for the selected element. Thus, to take a DocBook
example, if I select phrase in the Ctrl-E dialog and then type an extra
.condition (the dialog now reads phrase.condition), oXygen could know to
translate this as <phrase condition="">selected text</phrase>. I still have to
back up and fill in the condition name, but it's a timesaver even so. A pair of
options in Preferences for CSS files could be:
For Ctrl-E, use .name to mean class="name"
For Ctrl-E, use .name to mean name="" (default if enabled with the
above preference)

Subject: [oXygen-user] Feature requests
Hi,
I'm a very satisfied oXygen user (primarily working in XHTML and CSS),
but I'd be happier still if it had the following simple enhancements:
(I'm using oXygen 9.1 build 2007122116 on OS X Tiger)
1. Remember last Ctrl-E (wrap tags) value -- currently always defaults
to 'a'
2. Improve Ctrl-E (wrap tags) to allow .class and #id attribute
specification (e.g. I could Ctrl-E span.active and get <span
class="active"></span>
3. Major annoyance (and arguably a bug): Don't clear clipboard when
copying nothing (hitting Ctrl-C or X with nothing selected.)
4. Need shortcuts to make it easier to select attribute/value pairs and
single tags (so that you don't have to drag-select around <tag> or
attribute="value") Triple-click is already taken, so maybe Ctrl-click or
something.
5. Cursor movement up/down: always remember x position from line to
line, even after pasting.
This is a little harder to explain. Basically, I'd like oXygen to behave
like Textpad. Imagine you have a number of lines and you want to paste
"<li>" in front of each. If I position the cursor in the right place for
the first line, paste, then press down, I expect to be in the right
place for the next line. But in oXygen, I'll be 4 characters to the
right (from the end of the <li>)
Bug fixes:
6. The "Delete Tag" keyboard shortcut on Mac (Cmd-Opt-X) doesn't work
7. The CSS validator doesn't recognise unitless line-height
I'd appreciate it if you could consider these for a minor upgrade! (And
anyone else reading this -- if you agree or disagree please say so.)
