My picks: - try to improve the syntax highlighting speed (C syntax-based folding can become extremely slow!), - semantic highlighting (which might perhaps also involve some refactoring of the code displaying the UI), - enhanced diff mode (there was a short discussion in the thread "Diff filler broken with non-standard but valid diffexpr input"), - I would like cscope results to be accessible from VimL. I would like some autocommands added: - MakeSessionPre - before session file is written so that plugins can be triggered to update the variables saved in the session file, - DebugEnter - when debug mode is entered or code execution stops on a breakpoint. >From todo.txt: 8 Add breakpoints for setting an option 8 Add breakpoints for assigning to a variable. There's also the voting page. But the real question is: what would you like to be done enough to commit to finding the time required to review the code and possibly integrate it within a reasonable time frame? > Second question is: Would you volunteer to mentor? I would volunteer to co-mentor under the condition as described below: the code (if acceptable) would be integrated within reasonable time (perhaps before 2015? before spring 2015?). Waiting a few months would be OK. Waiting a few years would not. Would you agree? Would anyone else volunteer as a mentor? Cheers, Lech -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
