5.2 IDE: How to access sub-language and primary language settings

OS: All / Any

I just upgrade to 5.2. The Windows Explorer version reports as 5.2, although the Help -> About Komodo box still says 5.1. I'm going to assume that's a bug, and the 5.2 installer MSI really did install the 5.2 IDE.

Anyway, assuming this really is 5.2, where are the preferences for the touted sub-language and primary language settings? They sound like nice features in 5.2, but I can't find the settings anywhere.

Thanks!

Remote project support

OS: All / Any

hi there,

Komodo Edit is my everyday editor when working with projects on my local computer, but for remote work I feel forced to resort to ssh/screen/vim.

The problem for me is I am working with dozens of remote files so "existing remote file" is too inefficient.
I tried the remote drive tree extension (http://community.activestate.com/xpi/remote-drive-tree) but it lacks threading, so the interface is locked when loading or saving a file. And if something goes wrong when connecting to the server then the interface will be locked indefinitely...

javascript code colouring

OS: All / Any

I've just recently started using Komodo Edit and have quickly moved over all of my web development to it as it beats my previous editor hands down.

The only one gripe I have is with the javascript code colouring.

academic price versus free NetBeans

OS: All / Any

Active State has increased the price of the academic version by 100%, to one hundred bucks. I tried to upgrade but I was told that, because this is a lot less than the gazillion dollars charged for the commercial version, they were NOT INTERESTED IN GETTING ONLY FIFTY DOLLARS.

My reply is that you can charge any price you want if I don't have to pay it. I am glad you did not take my money when you could have had it because I discovered NetBeans supports Python! I would not give you fifty dollars now and one hundred is ridiculous.

Save to remote server - macro

OS: All / Any

This macro will allow you to save the current working file to a remote server already specified under Edit->Preferences->Servers. This is a per-project remote file save macro that relies on the 'Active Project' so you will have to have the project active u wish to do uploads for. Maybe later I will make it not require the project be 'Active'. I needed this feature as I came from phpED and it had the CTRL+SHIFT+S that would save the file to the server. SPEEDS up work!

Debuging .udl files with luddite lex

OS: All / Any

I am trying to debug an .udl file. "luddite just_compile" works ok, showing no errors. I also tried "luddite lex", but in vain.
On both windows/linux and with python 2.5/2.6 I am getting different errors. When run with python 2.6.2 the message reads:


$ python2.6 $luddite lexhtml X udl/X-mainlex.udl
[...]/lib/sdk/pylib/ludditelib/cmdln.py:274: SyntaxWarning: assertion is always true, perhaps remove parentheses?
assert (isinstance(argv, (list, tuple)),
[...]/lib/sdk/pylib/ludditelib/cmdln.py:320: SyntaxWarning: assertion is always true, perhaps remove parentheses?

Code and debug window

OS: All / Any

By default debug/output window is situated below code window.

code -
debug/output -

this is horizontal view as in old.jpg

can the debug/output window be situated on the left of the komodo window, and code window on the right side of the komodo window?
Like this:

[Macro] Selection Tools

OS: All / Any

What it does:

A set of quick selection tools.

Prerequisites

None, just follow the install routine below.

How to Install?

Make you you've got the latest Komodo Edit/IDE installed. Then simply download, drag & drop the .kpz file inside your Toolbox. Restart Komodo for changes to take effect.

How to Use?

To trigger, select something in the buffer and press:

  • Ctrl+M, Ctrl+H to hyphenise
    Hello World -> hello-world
  • Ctrl+M, Ctrl+U to underscorise

[REQUEST] Open file next to currently selected

OS: All / Any

Just a suggestion, but can we have it so when opening a new file window, it opens next to the currently active file, rather than at the far right (like the Chrome browser tab approach).

Chances are when I'm opening a new file, it's something to do with the one I'm working on. I don't want to have to go chasing half a mile across 70+ open file windows and drag it all the way back to where I'm currently working.
