I vote strongly for suggestion 1. There could also be an optional yes/no checkbox setting in Preferences so that no one is forced to use the feature: Remember last Ctrl=E tag (default=no) Suggestion 2 might be fairly straightforward to implement for CSS, where the class= attribute is a reasonable default for most CSS elements. It would be harder to implement universally for non-CSS XML formats, in which a given element might have dozens of possible attributes. How would oXygen know which attribute you mean to use? It might be more useful for oXygen's Ctrl-E to accept any tag appended with a dot as an attribute name for the selected element. Thus, to take a DocBook example, if I select phrase in the Ctrl-E dialog and then type an extra .condition (the dialog now reads phrase.condition), oXygen could know to translate this as <phrase condition="">selected text</phrase>. I still have to back up and fill in the condition name, but it's a timesaver even so. A pair of options in Preferences for CSS files could be: For Ctrl-E, use .name to mean class="name" For Ctrl-E, use .name to mean name="" (default if enabled with the above preference) -----Original Message----- From: oxygen-user-bounces@oxygenxml.com [mailto:oxygen-user-bounces@oxygenxml.com] On Behalf Of Francois Jordaan Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 12:41 PM To: oxygen-user@oxygenxml.com Subject: [oXygen-user] Feature requests Hi, I'm a very satisfied oXygen user (primarily working in XHTML and CSS), but I'd be happier still if it had the following simple enhancements: (I'm using oXygen 9.1 build 2007122116 on OS X Tiger) 1. Remember last Ctrl-E (wrap tags) value -- currently always defaults to 'a' 2. Improve Ctrl-E (wrap tags) to allow .class and #id attribute specification (e.g. I could Ctrl-E span.active and get <span class="active"></span> 3. Major annoyance (and arguably a bug): Don't clear clipboard when copying nothing (hitting Ctrl-C or X with nothing selected.) 4. Need shortcuts to make it easier to select attribute/value pairs and single tags (so that you don't have to drag-select around <tag> or attribute="value") Triple-click is already taken, so maybe Ctrl-click or something. 5. Cursor movement up/down: always remember x position from line to line, even after pasting. This is a little harder to explain. Basically, I'd like oXygen to behave like Textpad. Imagine you have a number of lines and you want to paste "<li>" in front of each. If I position the cursor in the right place for the first line, paste, then press down, I expect to be in the right place for the next line. But in oXygen, I'll be 4 characters to the right (from the end of the <li>) Bug fixes: 6. The "Delete Tag" keyboard shortcut on Mac (Cmd-Opt-X) doesn't work 7. The CSS validator doesn't recognise unitless line-height I'd appreciate it if you could consider these for a minor upgrade!
