There are text editors such as the very good Context editor that are open source and would make a fine replacement for the basic code editor that is bundled within Xwidget. Context is available now as the developer has abandoned development and has offered to hand the development to anyone who wishes to continue with it. Context is still one of the best text editors around and would form a fine drop-in replacement for the current Xwidget code editor. If it were possible to allow alternative editors to be used within the environment that would be a great boon. |

The current code editor is a pain in the behind to use, the font is too large and it is hard to code in such an unfriendly editor. Search and replace seems non-functional, re-searching is a pain as the search history is not retained, embedding an alternative editor would be a massive improvement to have especially when such a wonderful editor as Context is ready and available to integrate. Devs - please comment. |

That is what I do, of course, when I want the functions of a powerful editor. However, so much of what XWidget provides can only be done via the integrated IDE. If you make a change in context it is not reflected in the IE unless you copy then paste into the code area. That's incredibly clumsy. Forgetting to do this can result in lost code so it is no solution. The editor is going to be improved. I just hope they listen to our comments. |

Very good, I'll try it out and see if I can get used to it. |

This feature will be provided by the new editor in Version 2.0 of the Xwidget IDE. Marked the Request as CLOSED. |
