300 New Komodo API

Define a better core editor API. Make it easily accessible, easy to use and ensure it's properly documented.

Examples (conceptual):

• ko.views.manager.currentView (really? ain't that a little verbose?), how about ko.editor, or ko.currentEditor?
• make a lightweight wrapper around Scintilla, to provide common operations like: next word, nextStylingPosition, isIdentifier, isKeyword...
• ensure there are events dispatched for common editor operations - text modified, paste, keypress, scrolling, resize

Concept

• Concept Implementation
• Pseudo-code of how the API "could" be used

Planned API's

  • add(label, fn, icon)

• keybindings (bug 95463)

  • remove(sequence)

• editor (more in bug 96416)

  • text
  • position
  • anchor
  • linenumber
  • nextStyle(pos) -> returns pos, stylename where style next changes

• runcommands

  • run(cmd) > returns output retval/stdout/stderr values

• run output

  • Syntax Highlight
  • replaceText

• Commands

  • Register Commands
  • Get Commands

JetPack API's to Reuse if possible

• events
  • on(name)
  • off(name)
• io/file
  • open(path, mode) > returns a stream object
