Hello Vimmers,
My name is Jordan Lewis, and I am applying to Vim for Google's Summer
of Code this year. I am a first year student at the University of
Chicago (and a Vim addict). I am planning to work on some of the items
in todo.txt like the ideas page suggests, and I wanted to get some
opinions on the ones that I've been looking at (I don't intend to
necessarily work on all of these items, or these items exclusively).
1. Undo tree improvements
* Implement visual representation suggested by Damian Conway.
* Undo persistence - save a representation of the tree to a file on
or
before exit
* Pattern search - incremental search of undo tree for full text of
each
operation - this could be fairly easily done by wrapping the
existing
search function to search the right parts of the undo file
2. Scrolling
* Add scrolling that doesn't move the cursor, as in the scroll bar
in GUI
applications - this would serve as an automatic mark. movement
would
spring the view back to where the cursor was, and you could
choose to
move the cursor to the current view with a command. This would
also be
usable (and helpful) in visual mode selection
* Implement Rimon Barr's suggestion of scrolling marks - save the
current
cursor position to '- on a scroll or jump operation if there has
been
editing between it and the last one.
Are these good items to work on? Any and all feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jordan Lewis
