JADE Environment Development Ideas

There are a number of messages boxes that appear frequently to which the response is usually always the same. Could we have a 'do not show again' / 'remember my answer for next time' check box for these? Some examples:during a schema load: "Class ...

Rather than needing to first find an entity in another class browser, it'd be quicker/easier if we had a 'References' option in the context-menu shown for entities selected in the code editor (alongside the 'Refactor' menu), when we want to see wh...

I once worked with a company that would have people come in and view websites with a camera fixed on their eyes. One of the minor findings was that categorising items by colour made the end-user respond faster. Can we please have colours back in t...

I use dark themes and schemes for all software that supports it as I find it easier on my eyes after prolonged use. Much software allows for this these days. It would be helpful if Jade both supported a dark theme and allowed for a dark theme to b...

The Unused local variables command is useful but clunky in that it shows them one at a time. You have to have a good short-term memory to remember all the ones it highlighted. It would be most useful if it could just remove the unused local variab...

The debugger would be hugely more productive if hovering over a path showed the value at that path, but at present the debugger just ignores the hover. For example, I have the following code: previousContract := sm.getCurrentContract(sc.startDate ...

The current UX for reimplementing a superclass method is awful to use - so awful that I mostly avoid using it. It would be much nicer to be able to start typing the name of the method and all matches, whichever schema or superclass the method was ...

Since Jade is strongly oriented around using OIDs to identify objects it would be nice to have some features built into the IDE to easily inspect any object using its OID. Maybe a textbox on the toolbar that would accept any OID and then show you ...

Is it possible when doing the searching within the IDE that we have the option to turn on or off searching for comments and/or literals? Sometimes I am only after the search results within literals but there are many more results that include meth...

Most of the time when I do a find, I am looking for the full identifier only - it would be sensible for this to be the default, or at least remember the options selected previously. Additionally, it would be great if you could ignore comments duri...
