IDEs ride

Overview

This branch contains the development of a "new ride" that maintain a small impact on the ui library. This is for a few reasons.

Can customize the colors of the whole ui instead of what the os thinks a list should look like
Can more easily switch to another ui library if the current one has issues

I'd like to rewrite a revision 2 in rust (rust branch) but can't seem to find a good ui library that lets me create a window and just draw text, rectangles, lines and respond to various events. Currently thinking about creating a small FFI wxWidgets based library that does just that.

In the mean time I still think ride classic (classic branch) is useable but far from good or recomended for any serious rust development.

Ride is a general text editor like vs code, the name comes from concatenating R from Rust and IDE, but that has lost it's meaning, now it's just a name. It's currently not in a usable state. If you're looking for something more complete, perhaps RustDT for Eclipse, SolidOak or Rust for brackets is your thing.

Screenshots

Getting ride

This isn't finished. Eventually there should be a installer here, but that isn't finished. Issue #13 is looking to fix this. If you want to try it, you need to download the source and build it yourself.

Since it isn't finished at first launch you might want to set all the colors to something other than black. Issue 64 should fix this.

Building ride

You need CMake, a C++ compiler and wxWidgets 3+. To actually build it, it is pretty standard. Use CMake to generate a configuration and then build that configuration.

Use xi-editor for text editing?

I know that you have chosen Scintilla based text editor for the text editor component, but there is pure Rust text editor engine called xi-editor.

I wich you would take a look at it as possible alternative for Scintilla.

Which wxWidgets version required?

Trying to build with wxwidgets-3.0.2:

error: no matching function for call to ‘wxStyledTextCtrl::FindText(int&, int&, const wxString&, int&, int*&)’

Trying to build with wxWidgets 2.8.12.1-12:

Add a Command Palette

Inspired by/stolen from: https://github.com/atom/command-palette

or the find action in jetbrains: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/navigating-to-action.html

This might be related to the scripting integration of #111

Support editor components

Editor components are part of the editor, like editor replacements but only covers part of the editor.

The most useful implentation might be a formula editor in the style of Words forumla editor that covers only certain(marked up?) math expressions but Im sure there are opter applications.

Advanced tab display

Update tab display to only display the relevant part of the file path instead of the file name. The other part of the oath should be either be cut or dimmed depending on what and where it is.

bold is used here for highlight, this is only as an example.

Single file open: [main.rs]

Two files, same name [main.rs | lib/main.rs]

Two files, same name, different extension: [app.rs | app.png]

The actual logic probably needs to be tweaked as well, but the current system is too generic.

This is how brackets displays tabs:
