IDE features

I'm developing an IDE for Squirrel and want to ask you to list some of the popular features you've encountered with different IDE:s.

thanks :)

ATA/133, bigass ribbon cable..wait, methinks I have the wrong kind of IDE :rolleyes: ;)

hehe lol, i meant Integrated Developement Environment :p

The popup property/method/variable list, i.e. the listbox that comes up in VB when you type Debug.

Color coding as you type, not when you go to a new line, grr. However syntax checking like in VB when you end a line it colors it red if it is syntaxually incorrect.

thanks, winamp-jump-search style listing for functors and member listing in a sidepanel is on my list.
coloring code as you type can be tricky, it might flicker several times as you choose what to type, but i'll think about it.
coloring syntax errors noted :)

What about calling LockWindowUpdate when you redraw the colors?

yeah i know, but thats not what i meant, if you type something it will be a identifier until you type [ when it turns into a functor declaration, and then again if you type = it turns into a identifier declaration
