The Java editor - and certain dialogs as well - supports "Smart Caret Positioning" when moving forward and backward one word (CTRL Arrow Left and Right as well as CTRL+SHIFT Arrow Left and Right) in Java identifiers. It would be very nice if PDE could do the same for Java fields. For ID fields - all other fields???? - it would be nice if '.' (period) was used as a word separator...
Tonny, I took a look at the the PDE manifest editor and found that the following behaviour is already implemented both in the forms editor as well as in the source editor: 1) The dot (.) acts as a word boundary in ID fields 2) The dot (.) acts as a word boundary in class fields as well I suppose you'd like to (additionally) have camel-cased selection as in the following example: 1) <formatter class="org.eclipse.xtext.ui.service.impl.BuiltInFormatter" 2) Place the caret right after "BuildInFormatter" 3) Press CTRL + SHIFT + Left Arrow 4) "Formatter" is selected Is this what you are looking for?
Hi Peter, I just tried the following 1) Create new plug-in project with the name and ID test.test 2) Add views extension point 2) Add view element All fields treat '.' (period) as a word character and does not recognize CamelCase - this includes the ID and activator fields on the overview page and the id, class and icon fields on the view element on the Extensions page... Camel case support would be perfect :-)
