Re: [Question #142261]: Will Sikuli have a more rich text editor in the future?

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
Definitely the Sikuli IDE will never have the power of a full featured
text editor, that a scripter or programmer might want.

At least we will have text find and undo/redo with X 1.0rc2 and a
slightly refurbished outfit. Wether this will give some system specific
options for theme handling, I do not know yet.

The "want to change text size" request is already in the bug list.

But if you like, you may use your favorite editor and edit the .py text
file directly.

I use the IDE only for short tests, capturing and the preview features.
Programming (Editing), running and debugging I do in NetBeans. To run
productive scripts I use "java -jar sikuli-script.jar script.sikuli"
from command line.

What is missing for parallel usage (most editors have this feature),
that the Sikuli IDE recognizes, that a script was changed by some
outside actions and gives the option to reload it. Now I have to close
without saving and reopen in Sikuli IDE, when changing something in
Netbeans and having the script open in Sikuli IDE in parallel. When I do
something in Sikuli IDE (e.g. create a new image or set a target offset
and save), coming back to Netbeans, the updated version is already
reloaded.

I will post a request bug, with the most wanted IDE features (text size,
theme options, script reset/reload, copy from one tab to another
including images, comment/uncomment, basic syntax warnings/support
(colon, indent/dedent, brackets, ...) ... might be more)
