TODOs

ToDo list, order by priority.

  • Features (add when needed):

    • Make typing work with UniKey (Vietnamese typing method).
    • Rendering Utf8 text
    • Auto indent like Emacs, which based on scope/block nesting
    • Smart indent for Lisp-like languages (different from above)
    • Line wrapping
    • Multi cursors
    • Next/Previous find with arrow keys
    • Open binary file in preview-mode.
    • Key bindings docs (for Mai usage and MaiStyle). See more https://github.com/maihd/maienv/tree/main/keybinds
    • Recent files in Open File From Project command view
    • Mouse next/previous button (good for reading code)
    • Windows OS: Recent projects from Start Menu, Task Bar
    • Open project with command. Also support recents.
    • VCS status display
    • Remake all Lite Editor with LiteFx+Fennel -> MaiMacs

  • Practices:

    • More productivity with Lite
    • Familiar with keybinds
    • Create some utils tools
    • Practice mode or tutorials
    • Review this project sources, memorize and gain knowledges

  • Improvements:

    • New default theme (MaiBlue -> MaiAoi/MaiSora)
    • Background and animations (because I'm a gamer/gamedev, theses are big concerns)
    • Refactory syntax definition, better handle scope
    • Tab size detection
    • Ergonomics mouse interactions
    • Use fast string algorithms (code editing are working on string heavily)
    • TreeView:
      • Resizable
      • File type icon based on extensions/languages
      • Icon color
      • Text color
      • Display file status

  • Fix bugs:

    • When do cmd "Root: Close All". Reproduce steps:

      • Unsaved docs
      • Request saving docs or force close
      • Focus to unsaved docs
      • Cannot return to CommandView, do some weird key stroke to return CommandView
      • Cannot close CommandView, even after choose "Save and Close"
      • After that, cannot close CommandView, even refocus CommandView

    • Unindent wrong or not work in some cases, specially when the file have different indent size with config

    • Mouse over in titlebar can be fallthrough from other window

    • Crash when long searching progress (commonly with Project Search)

      • Reproduce: search in project with previous
      • Reason: load_glyphset return dangling pointer

    • MarkDown language highlight

  • Native Runtime (will move to LiteFx soon):

    • Make app more robust.
    • Fast or flexible, friendly experience on IO operations. (Maybe add async IO)
    • Display launching message box with style and helper.
    • Add more render backends: OpenGL, Vulkan, Dear ImGui.
    • Better font rendering: FreeType, SDF, advance usage of stb_truetype
    • LiteFx: Framework to make desktop application with C (or other system languages) and Lua/Luau
      • Simple and robust C framework
      • Lua runtime selections: Lua52 (or 53, 54), LuaJIT, Luau
      • Fennel simple showcase for Emacs-like scripting experience
      • Can run LiteXL Lua data (LiteXL use Lua54, but there are no compat layer for LuaJIT)
      • Can run Pragtical Lua data

  • Syntax highlights:

    • Simple syntax highlights are enough.
    • When have some syntax highlight is wrong, and cannot ignore, just fix it.
    • When plugins can solve, use it.
    • Unknown token should be have underline to present error. Token can be detected without the need of LSP.

Things not todo

  • Syntax highlights:

    • No need something complex like lsp or intellisense. You should remember the API.

  • Unnessary software distributing (we are hacker, we install software from source code):

    • Compile to Lua to bytecode.
    • Package data. exe-only application. (data embed into exe, faster startup)
    • Make it embedding ready.
    • Installer
