autocomment

OS: All / Any

This is another one of my ideas that somebody else has to do because I'm lacking the time and or skills to do that.

The idea is to automatically add "closing comments" into, for example, html files.

Problem:

Imagine you are writing an html file

Usually this will result in something like this:


html
head
/head
body
div.page
div#header
...
/div
div#nav
...
/div
div#main
...
/div
div#footer

ctrl+shift+tab

OS: All / Any

It's very frustrating for me when I can't just switch back to the previous tab by hitting ctrl+shift+tab. I have enough tabs open that it takes so long to cycle through them and get back to the previous tab that it's easier just to go for my mouse.

Add to that the fact that it doesn't even cycle through them in the order they appear and it's a nightmare. I think ctrl+shift+tab is especially called for in a program that cycles through tabs out-of-order.

Customize auto indenting within quoted strings

OS: All / Any

Hi,

This has been annoying me for a while now but I've tried to simply work past it so far.. I think I'll just ask the question this time though.

When I'm programming in PHP I often have to type SQL queries in my code, these are obviously written in a quoted string but as soon as I press enter to go to a new line the auto indentation puts the cursor at the tab position of where I pressed enter, rather than simply indenting the cursor by one tab.

Client side includes

OS: All / Any

Greetings.

This is just an idea for a macro/extension that is running around in my head for some time now. I have neither the time nor the experience to pull something like this, but I know there are very clever people here arround and I hope someone will jump to the opportunity to care for this baby...

Phase5 and Includes:

I used to work with phase5 for a few years. Its a German html editor with a whole load of nice features. The reason why I loved this editor was it's "includes macro".

It worked like this.

html issues - hope this is were it goes.

i was trying to have my site load a picture & then a text file that is a comment about the picture, currently viewed.
well i had the picture part of it done.
i was able to hard code in a way to do a text file.
so then i tried to adjust what i wrote to also update the comment/note section.

the following code does have me trying this several ways but i really only need one. i don't really care how it is done.
at this point the image one loads but after i hit next it doesn't cycle.

Komodo breakpoints do not work

OS: All / Any | Product: Komodo | tags: komodo breakpoint debugging
Question: 

My Komodo breakpoints do not work. Why is that?

Answer: 

There are a few common reasons why breakpoints may not work when debugging inside of Komodo:

  • symbolic links - ensure that the file is not a symlinked location, as this can cause the breakpoints to be ignored - you must set the breakpoint in the real filepath
  • mapped URIs - sometimes an incorrect mapped URI can cause the breakpoint location to be changed - thus never matching the executed lines - try removing any mapped URIs in Komodo's preferences.

Browser in a sidebar

OS: All / Any

Is there a quick way to open a sidebar containing an input box (or wonderbar) for a URL and then below that a basic instance of Gecko? I might even want more than one sidebar like this running simultaneously.

Initially I might use one for tasks and the other to avoid switching back to a browser window. I don't like mapping code files to URLs ... usually it's not a good correlation.

AutoFold Functions?

OS: All / Any

Is there a way to auto fold functions when loading a file? There's a way to collapse all folds, but I just want to fold functions (not conditional blocks, loops, etc).

I'm coming to Komodo from VIM, and am using the VIM keybindings, primarily for PHP development.

Thanks!
Jon

Wordpress Template Tags / Functions

OS: All / Any

I do a lot of development in Wordpress and just came across Komodo Edit. I noticed it supports inline completion for common functions in php, etc and I'm wondering if it's possible to add support for Wordpress' Template Tags and Functions to Komodo Edit? Does something like that exist or could I add them myself?

Cheers
