I'm trying to use Komodo IDE for javascript development because it provides a good code browser. I had 4.4 and I am now evaluating 5.1 However I'm currently not being able to use neither of them because I'm developing with YUI2 and 3 and here the preferred syntax is like shown below:
YUI({modules: {ea_forms4: {
path: "../js/ea_forms4.js",
type: "js"
}
},
filter: 'raw',
base:"/yui3/"}
).use("base","node","io-form","dump","json-parse","plugin",
function(Y) {
Y.use('ea_forms4',function(Y){
//here is the main part of the code
//initialize the page
var init = function(){
//do things
}
var myMethod = function(){
//do things
}
});
});
With this coding style Komodo is not providing any insight into the code.
To see anything I need to remove the last 2 lines and the first 11. But of course I cannot run this code on a server and would have to add/remove comments all the time.
Do you have a solution to this problem? Or do you expect to be able to support this syntax in a future release?

Right now the JavaScript auto-indentation is based
on C/C++/Java indenting, but the limitations of doing
it that way are obvious once you add closures.
It's a good feature for a future release.
I've written it up at

Komodo is not showing anonymous functions that are created an argument of a method call, though I can see by this example it would be helpful to still show these functions.
I've created (and subsequently fixed) a bug for this here:

You can manually apply the one-line patch to your installed Komodo build, which should fix this problem (patch is to the file "lang_javascript.py" in your Komodo installation):

Wooww! This is it!
Thank you so much, I wish I had told this before!

P.S. For other that want to patch, the path in my Windows Vista is C:/programs/ActiveState Komodo IDE 5/lib/mozilla/python/komodo/codeintel2/lang_javascript.py
