I am incorporating copyright class definitions for CSS-only cascading
menus. It would be nice to set it off the copyrighted block with extra
empty lines above and below, but <oXygen/> reduces all separator lines
between CLASSES to one line, and all COMMENTS are abutted with NO empty
lines between them. The other editors have a Preference to "[ ]
Preserve empty lines", but not the CSS editor.
It would also be nice to select a block of text and wrap it in comment
opening /* and closing */ in one operation. And a fancy shortcut to
select an entire class block by inserting cursor in selector/class name
and using a key shortcut would be good.
Some attributes/properties can take either a numeric unit of measure or
a text token, such as "auto". It would be nice if the autocompletion
drop-down showed placeholders (perhaps italicized) for allowable units
which, when selected, would insert the unit of measure preceded by the
cursor ready to type in the value. This would considerably improve the
function of the autocompleter as a learning tool for the inexperience
like me and perhaps save the odd keystroke, invalid input, etc.
For example,
----------------
width: | 99px << this one selected
| 99pt
| 99pc
| 99em
| 99mm
| 99cm
| 99in
| auto
| inherit
etc.
which completes the property thus:
width: |px; // where | represents the cursor

Hedley
