Big list of small annoyances

Feature requests
15
  1. Autocomplete is active while typing comments -> DEFEDIT-1608
  2. There’s no word wrap option in the editor -> DEFEDIT-1609
  3. Automatically open whatever files I had open when the project was closed -> DEFEDIT-1610
  4. The debugger regularly crashes when evaluating tables in the console -> We have made several improvements to the debugger which all will be released in the coming days.
  5. The self table can’t be expanded in the debugger -> Yes, this is unfortunate and I’m not really sure we can do anything to solve the case of trying to iterate self.
  6. Global variables aren’t listed in the debugger -> The global table (_G) is pretty big with all loaded Lua modules in there etc. We could perhaps have it as a non-expanded entry in the Variables window. @vlaaad?
  7. Array tables list their numeric indices in alphabetical order in the debugger -> I think we’ve already fixed this as part of the recent Debugger improvements. At least it looks correct when I try in the latest editor version.
  8. keyboard shortcut for jumping between functions -> DEFEDIT-1611. We also plan to show all functions in the Outline panel (DEFEDIT-855)
  9. keyboard shortcut for moving selected lines up and down -> DEFEDIT-1612
  10. Option to set an external diff viewer -> We’re going to revise the entire git integration in the editor and either remove it completely or make it more stable and useful for beginners as well as powerusers.
  11. Done.
  12. Done.
  13. the forum doesn’t have a shortcut button for strikethrough text -> There’s a lot of talk about strikethrough support in Discourse (the forum software we use) https://talk.commonmark.org/t/strikeout-threw-out-strikethrough-strikes-out-throughout/820
  14. Script-level variables aren’t exposed in the debugger -> I don’t think there’s any way for us to access these values in the debugger. We use the debug functionality provided by the Lua language itself. @vlaaad?
