JADE Environment Development Ideas

Add a 'Find' over Global Constants by value. Currently can only 'Find' by name of the Global Constant. Only way to see if one already exists is to add, and the select 'Search For Duplicates'

Currently you can open the 'Find a control' dialog using the right-click context menu in the Jade Painter or the 'Find' option on the edit menu. It would be more consistent to have the same caption as the right-click context menu. I also wonder if...

Removing entities from the autocomplete which cannot be used in the current context will remove clutter, make it easier to find items in the list, and help ensure the autocomplete function defaults to something that can be used in the current cont...

I want methods and properties to appear differently in the autocomplete list, so I can tell what's what.

I would find it useful if Browse -> 'Status List '* could have the option to check all schemas, rather than always just the one selected. Possibly like the Global Search & Replace schema options: * Current Schema Only - default * Current Sc...

What I find useful in some IDEs is if you select an item, that item is highlighted everywhere else in the same method. Impacts are seen instantly. Find does do the job, but it skips the position each time meaning I have to reanalyse the impact for...

It would be very useful when pair programming to be able to quickly increase or decrease the font size using the mouse scroll wheel (A Ctrl + Middle click could act as a restore). Although you can currently do this using the keyboard Ctrl + and Ct...

In other environments searching for a class (or other identifier) allows a sort of Pascal case search. E.g. if I'm trying to find the CustomerOrderInfo class, I could type COI and that class would appear in the list of results (along with ColourOp...

As per Jade documentation. As this call is relatively expensive, you should use it sparingly.Caused by all the sanity checks. Provide an efficient method that bypasses the checks and simply fails at run-time. This would improve dynamic control cre...

When a local variable is declared using the refactor menu, it is added with 4 spaces. Instead, this should be a tab if you have your options set to "Use Tabs For Indent".
