They are organized by complexity and necessity, note that +some of the items are wishful thinking... If you have questions please feel free to ping me (Jonas) +on IRC (jopsen) or e-mail me at jopsen@gmail.com. + +Easy +---- +1. SmGraphicWindow::KeyInput relies on comparison of char, a better way must be available for CTRL+c +2. Code style (missing spaces, linebreaks and a few renames) +3. More documentation +4. Remove the CreateTextFromNode methods and replace calls to it with NodeToTextVisitor +5. Extend NodeToTextVisitor to update token offsets so SmNode::GetRow and SmNode::GetColumn will work. + (These methods can be used to enable synchronization of caret positions between visual and non-visual editor). + +Medium +------ +1. SmCursor::InsertCol() method for added columns to matrices should be implemented. +2. SmCursor` should support deletion of lines, rows, cols and sub-/superscripts. +3. SmCursor::InsertSubSup() should wrap the body in a SmBraceNode if the body is an SmOperNode, SmBinVerNode, etc. +4. When OpenOffice Math runs in standalone mode it centers the current formula, this is not nice for visual editing. + +Complex +------- +1. SmAlignNode and SmFontNode are ignored by visual editor, figure out how these should work. +2. Solve the flickering issue when drawing formulas (See dev@gsl.OpenOffice.org) +3. Make " a shortcut for creating an SmTextNode with FNT_TEXT, also check that SmNodeToTextVisitor supports this. +4. parse.cxx merges multiple blanks into one SmBlankNode, the visual editor doesn't... + +Complex and non-essential +------------------------- +* Global clipboard integration +* Consider improving GUI for "Formula Elements"-dialog, most buttons work with visual editor +* Consider allowing users to enter commands in visual editor, by prefixing the command... +* Optimize things, for instance SmCursor::AnnotateSelection() is called way too many places... +* Improve handling of MoveUp and MoveDown in SmCursor::Move, SmCaretPos2LineVisitor might need improvement. +* Synchronized command text caret and visual editor caret. |
