Meeting Notes
- quickopen on the command line
- Dion: this is fine as long as it's the same number of keystrokes, because quickopen is optimized for its use case
- Kevin: see the cmd-L (goto line) command. That is as quick to use as a goto line popup. It should be possible to make quickopen via command line work with just as few keystrokes
- Julian: can make selecting project faster (just type /projectname)
- Julian: Do we want to use more GUI or Command line for things in general?
- Kevin: command line often, GUI where it makes sense (diff tool, for example... Julian mentioned vcs clone as another)
- automatic adding of matching parens
- Gordon has submitted a patch (see bug 505478)
- Dion: we should spend some time getting all of the use cases down
- It could be a plugin, possibly until we are happy enough with the behavior to move it into the core
- Kevin will open a bug on it
- We could take the simple version with settings
- Fancy behavior requires a good version of context
- Julian asked if syntax highlighters were plugins.
- They are not yet. The main thing is that the simple syntax highlighter requires them to be loaded synchronously. Loading of the language plugins needs to be async
- Julian may take a look at this
- Julian asked about Friday pulling patches in
- Kevin reiterated the reasons for a specified window
- Time for availability in IRC for Ben
- predictable time for feedback/merging of patches
- we want to provide feedback or integrate patches before they get old
- Julian would like a Tuesday window
- Kevin thinks that one more window during the week is a good idea
- just send a message to bespin-core for a pull request
- Kevin reiterated the reasons for a specified window
