[Beaver-devel] TODO additions

[Leslie Polzer]

Hello Michael,

I have some additions to the TODO file.

- make mouse wheel scroll speed adjustable
- make tabsize adjustable
^^ these two from your list to mine for the sake of correctness.

- add 'close' button on toolbar
- add HACKING file w/ accumulated descriptions of sources and important macros
- make doxygen.conf for function list; doxify sources
- line numbers w/ border

Current syntax hightlighting speed (C file) is not really slow but
could be better - I'd suggest discussing my ideas on this in the
appropriate thread.

Additional and extraordinary syntax hightlighting feature proposal:
Highlight by syntax and context, e.g. for variable types not intrinsic.
It has always been annoying to me that there is absolutely no editor
that hightlight custom data types in C (think GtkWidget).
I have made some studies with PerlRE on this subject and must conclude
that it is possible to achieve this with some nice regular expressions.
This feature should be optional, though.

Autotoolizing. I know Automake and Autoconf and could do this one
if you don't have any problems with it - GetText will be yours to do
in any case, though.

Glade & RAD. I would like to emphasize that Glade could provide a great
enhancement in the maintenance and development of complex dialogues
like the 'Preferences' one.
