Hi André I realize I am a bit late to reply, and there are many other great > suggestions that have been made. One suggestion that I have not seen here > and that I miss greatly (I just started to use Spyder a few weeks ago, > writing code every day and trying to determine if it would be suitable for > students) is to implement code folding. >
It is never too late!, this is actually an ongoing forum, so everything that is getting discussed here is going to a TODO list :) > Code folding has been one of the most requested features for a long time, and there is work on this direction https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib/pull-request/56/code-folding It will be implemented for the next release of spyder in a couple of months, so you can rest assured this is something that will soon be solved > Other suggestions I would have relate to having simpler layouts. Being > able to move "sub-windows" anywhere to customize the layout is great in > theory but can be really confusing. Also, the ability to start with the > "light" version using a command line argument is not very helpful when > Spyder is launched by double clicking or doing "Windows-S Spyder/enter" on > Windows - where it is not possible to supply a keyword argument. Being > able to essentially hide the other "sub-windows" simply, and have what > effectively looks like the "light" version would be also useful. > I agree, it might be confusing to have this freedom in the layouts, and there is also some work in this direction https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib/pull-request/65/custom-layouts The idea is to have a startup dialog on first install that asks for the initial layout to use (light would be among the options) Thanks for the input and please feel free to reply for any clarification or ideas you might have left out in a previous message.
