JADE Environment Development Ideas

It would be nice if the Jade IDE worked the same as the rest of Windows does. If I right-click an entry in a list, it should select that entry, and present the context menu for it. Jade works differently from the rest of Windows in that only left-...

Abstract and transient-only lifetime classes don't need a map file, yet they still let you set one. This means that when you make a change that causes a reorg, it lists all those classes as needing a reorg even though they won't actually be touche...

Edit - Refactor - Declare Local Variable is awesome. Some possible enhancements, if it is a Decimal - make the variable Decimal [23,6], at the moment it declares it as Decimal and you have to go and add the [23,6], it it defaulted to that and you ...

It would be nice if you could directly rename a method by changing the name in the signature in the editor directly rather than having to use the Rename Method dialog. Jade could pop up a confirmation dialog to confirm that a method rename is what...

In the JADE method Editor, there is an option to "Refactor" from a literal in code to "Promote to Method Constant", where a dialog asks for the name, and there is a "Promote to Type Constant" refactor option for a Method Constant, which are both g...

Currently, the Jade Code Coverage tool only calculates a coverage percentage for code blocks in methods that were executed. Methods that are not executed at all are excluded and listed separately.We cannot use the current tool to provide an overal...

In the IDE the top-middle displays lists of properties/constants/attribs etc and top-right the methods/events, (lets call the lines in these lists items). These items have the current schema items visible by default. When working with a class t...

On the F4 find type dialog I frequently want to select an entry towards the end of the list of matches. To make this quicker/easier it would be great if the up-arrow key would wrap around from the beginning of the list of matches to make the last ...

Sometimes to avoid string too long exception, I need to know the number of characters in a string in the editor. Currently I have to do this by copy & pasting that string to the Notepad++ and select that string to see "sel" number at the botto...
