[Beaver-devel] Syhi User Interface

[Leslie Polzer]

Hello Michael,

1)
I suggest we create a new tab in the Prefs called "File Types".
We can then present the various file types in a list like this

Extension(s) | Highlighter | Compile Command
-------------------------------------------------
C,cpp,cxx    | "C++"       | g++ -fsyntax-only %s
...          | ...         | ...

..and, of course, the necessary widgets to add, modify and delete
entries.


2)
Have you seen Vim's language menu? A tree structure might be helpful
sometimes. Think of

Assembly Language
  -> i386
     -> Intel Syntax
     -> AT&T Syntax
  -> Sparc

.


3)
Does GtkSourceView already support nested languages? If not so, have you
any idea on how to accomplish this?

Best regards,

Leslie


PS: I am going to publish the tarballs and website on Sunday.
