1 TODO file (? means the feature may be implemented, but not definitely)
2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 For the future (no targeted version, catch-all)
5 - Compatibility with vi/emacs status files so we can let other editors
9 - Make matching bracket searches sophisticated enough to skip over
10 brackets inside comments?
11 - Allow indentation of marked text by spaces as well as tabs?
12 - Allow indentation to add just enough columns to reach the nearest
13 multiple of tabsize, rather than always adding tabsize columns?
14 - Allow conversion between different character sets. Maybe use glib's
15 iconv() if the system's iconv() is inadequate, since we already use
16 glib's vsnprintf() if the system lacks vsnprintf()?
17 - Allow color syntaxes to apply to more than just color, so that we can
18 e.g. specify a different alternate spell checker depending on which
19 file type we have open.
20 - Allow even better file type detection than we have currently, e.g.
22 - Allow setting marks (saved positions, not to be confused with the mark
23 set via Ctrl-^) at various lines and/or columns in the buffer, and
24 allow movement between them with a single keystroke? (we're running
26 - Allow searching for and replacing newlines.
27 - Fix handling of bad/incomplete UTF-8 sequences to display one Unicode
28 FFFD (Replacement Character) per sequence instead of one per byte.
31 - New regression framework built on expect.
32 - Allow text searches in the help browser.
33 - Handle window resizes better. After we resize, we should stay
34 wherever we were before we resized, as Pico does.
35 - Add the ability to move to different lines of the screen with a single
36 keystroke, e.g. M-` (M-~) to go to the top line, M-& (M-7) to go to
37 the center line, and M-' (M-") to go to the last line.
38 - Detect when we're pasting text, so that we can handle it differently
39 (i.e. faster than currently with screen redraws)
40 - Allow piping marked text to an external command and replacing it with
41 the command's output (as the internal spell checker already does with
45 - Rebindable keys? [DONE]
46 - Undo/Redo keys (M-U and M-E)? [DONE]
47 - Fix problems with color syntaxes' highlighting lines too aggressively [DONE]
48 - Allow nano to work like a pager (read from stdin) [DONE]
49 - Allow color syntaxes to be selected based on more than just filename
51 - Allow soft wrapping as well as hard wrapping? [DONE]
54 - UTF-8 support. [DONE]
55 - Support for paragraph searches. [DONE]
56 - Support for justifying the entire file at once. [DONE]
57 - Support for filename searches in the file browser. [DONE]
58 - Keystroke to implement "Add next sequence as raw" like vi's ^V. [DONE]
59 - Spell check selected text only. [DONE]
60 - Make "To Line" (^W^T) and "Read from Command" (^R^X) reenter their
61 parent menu when their keystroke is entered a second time (^W^T^T and
62 (^R^X^X) (requires figuring out when to keep cursor position and when
64 - Fix resetstatuspos global which we shouldn't have. [DONE]
67 - Single line scroll up/down? [DONE]
68 - Color syntax highlighting? (certainly seems like there's a demand for
71 - Backup making (filename~)? [DONE]
72 - Search (etc.) string history [DONE]
73 - Implement Pico's -j and -g flags, as they are pretty easy to do.
75 - Make mouse support work with clicking on the shortcuts (-m). Must
76 make global variable pointing to current shortcut list to determine
77 what keystroke to ungetch(). [DONE].
78 - Implement -o (chroot of sorts) [DONE]
79 - Allow -r to take a negative argument, meaning right margin instead of
80 left (allows resizing that way), formerly -W arg. [DONE]
83 - Implement Spelling [DONE]
84 - Implement Help [DONE]
85 - Internationalization [In progress, translators welcome!]
86 - Allow nano to be resized in X. [DONE]
87 - On page up/down, put the cursor on the first line (like Pico), not the
89 - Rewrite edit_refresh, if at all possible [DONE]
90 - Implement justify function [DONE]
91 - Cut to end of line [DONE]
92 - Built-in speller command [needed for version 1.0] [DONE]
93 - Better statusbar interaction (scrolling, tab completion for filename)
94 [needed for version 1.0] [DONE]
95 - Now do username completion [DONE].
96 - Unjustify command (^U after ^J) [DONE =-].
97 - Username completion (~user) [DONE =-].
