JADE Environment Development Ideas

Visual Studio has the concept of "Chords" which are a keyboard shortcut sequence. For example, Ctrl+K then Ctrl+D autoformats the current document. We should do the same, as it essentially expands the keyboard shortcut space exponentially.

It would be useful if all windows which display a context menu supported using the context menu key on most 'modern' keyboards. Currently there are some which are only accessible via a right mouse click, such as the ListBox of methods on the upper...

Currently in the Method Source Window you can only remove a method by right-clicking the method and select Remove From List. It would be good to remove a method by selecting it and pressing the Del key.

Would you be able to expose the Jade source code comparison GUI elements (functionality) so that they can be reused? I have created a rudimentary source code comparison tool for Jade code. The reason for this custom tool is because I needed to com...

In JADE 2022 the class browser was extended to have separate tabs for Class/Property/Source details. This is useful if you want to look at details for the class or a property without losing your current method changes. However, if you're on a form...

Allow users to select and update multiple attributes, constants and references in order to perform operations that are applicable to all selected, for example, updating the access type.
