PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic

Hello,
i have the following suggestions for features in phped:
1- The search in files feature: the found items should be separated in a dedicated log pane from other log messages.
2- The ability to move the debugger pointer over the current line upwards or downwards while debugging.
3- Ability to copy files from windows explorer to the workspace using standard ctrl+c ctrl+v or right click methods.
4- A refactoring engine, especially for php5.
5- WYSIWYG supportive editor for HTML
Thank you

2- The ability to move the debugger pointer over the current line upwards or downwards while debugging.

this feature is available for years now.
See Set Execution Point in the editor popup when you step through the code.

Try drag-drop. It works.

R/o refactoring for analysis is almost there in the code insight data. Or you need smth special?

So that is what Set Execution Point is for! I could have saved a lot of time if I knew this!

Dmitri, I think this needs to be explained in the Help.

i need smth special (and i do not know what is R/o refactoring for analysis, if you please explain). actually i am talking about features similar to the following product:
overview: http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/IDETools/Refactor/
whitepaper: http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/IDETools/Refactor/whitepaper.xml
3 minutes video: http://msdn.microsoft.com/VBasic/Downloads/Tools/Refactor/3MinDemo.Aspx
other 7 small viedos (about 5 minutes each) that explain the idea: http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/IDETools/CodeRush/Training.xml
also there is a free version for visual studio of this product where you can download and test it.
Refactoring is becoming very important for object oriented languages.
also i found this topic in phped support forum at: refactoring-tool-and-other-requests-t166.html?highlight=refactoring

i am using the opensource mozilla seamonkey, and microsoft visual web developer express 2005. if you can add some wysiwyg features, it would be cool.

6- if you can add this feature: to add visual glyphs for word wrap, which show a small graphical icon at the end of the line to tell the developer that the next line is a just a continuation line (a feature in visual studio)

thank you
take care
