New features ideas for the IG ManiaScript editor

Hey!

I had some ideas that could be really cool to have for a new version of the ManiaScript editor.
  • Preferences:
    Allow users to change some preferences like toggling warnings on or off (like "This value will be discarded"), change the Tabulation's size, font size, syntax highlight colors, ...
  • Keyboard shortcuts:
    • Ctrl+D: Duplicate line.
    • Ctrl+S: Save (even if the script is not compiling).
    • F5: Compile.
    • Ctrl+F5: Compile & test.
    • Ctrl+click on a function use: Show the function's declaration (if user written).
    • Ctrl+click on a library use: Show the library's file (if user written too).
  • Better undo / redo:
    Conserve modifications after saving & testing, fix issues that replace scripts content with other scripts.
  • Others:
    • Highlight brackets.
    • Draw thin lines between indentation's tabulations.
    • Home key should place the cursor between indentation and text, if used twice, it goes on very start of the line.
    • If a file is included but does not exists, show a popup to ask the user if it has to be created.
Fellow coders, feel free to add yours. :thumbsup:

So... you're basically requesting IDE to be coded inside the game...

This is the editor's main aim. :D
