Re: [orion-dev] embeddededitor vs minimaleditor

Hi, John. The only doc is currently in the original bug reports.
Opened a bug to improve that. [1]
Minimal editor is intended to show bare minimum. No plug-in registry,
plugins, commands, services, etc. Also no assumptions regarding js,
css, html, no content assist or syntax highlighting, etc.
This gives you the bare editor widget + common keybindings, example of
showing problems in the annotation bar, etc.
Embedded editor adds the most common features one would expect if
editing js/css/html, including content assist and syntax highlighting.
It is still independent of the Orion service model (so, for example,
editor plug-ins would not work). The features were chosen based on
discussion in this bug [2]. I was assuming you would use
embeddededitor.html and then tell me what is missing...
Unfortunately I think I can now tell you what is missing ;-)
The embeddededitor has 1) common features and 2) one-line toolbar. But
what I need is either common features *or* a one-line toolbar.
The "common features" version would be the right pick for using orion to
replace Firebug's "sourceBox" (in the Script panel). We don't need a
toolbar because we want user to think they are using Firebug's Script
panel.
The one-line toolbar version would be the right pick for Firebug's Orion
panel. Here the goal is to be a full Orion client. But I find with the
embedded editor that I will be essentially replicating the orion
edit.html which makes no sense. I want the service model, in fact I want
to plug Firebug into the service model. I want to drive edits directly
onto the live objects in Firefox. Then when you're happy, Save.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to communicate this sooner, I just didn't
understand what all of the terms meant.
