[Bluemusic-users] editor stuff

[<at...@ba...>]

Hi

I just grabbed a couple of instruments from the amsterdam catalog and 
found it a bit tiresome to reformat the code to my conventions.

I normally use emacs for all my editing esp. programming, and I really 
miss some of the stuff I use alot. So let me give some suggestions for 
useful (IMHO) features for the editor in blue:

1) indention: I normally use the following format for my code:
output<tab>opcode<tab>params
where output is optional. Since blue already knows what's the opcode, it 
would be nice to be able to press a button and have the code indented 
(all if no text is sellected else only the selected text). Maybe it 
could be done in a more generic way, by allowing the user to define 
his/(her?) own formatting rules.

2) Query replace (aka search and replace) would be nice too.

3) I'm so used to navigating using the standard linux shortcuts, and 
would love to have them in blue. I don't know anything about windows/mac 
but I assume win-users are used to similar but different things. Maybe 
this difference could be handled in a smart way by looking at which OS 
we're in... These are on the top of my wish list:
<ctrl>a		goto beginning og line
<ctrl>e		goto end of line
<ctrl>k		kill line
<ctrl>y		yank line
<ctrl>>		goto next word (words are seperated by spaces)
<ctrl><		goto previous (or this if the cursor is on word) word
<ctrl>arrowdown	goto next paragraph (paragraphs are seperated by newlines)
<ctrlarrowup>	goto previois (or this if in paragraph) paragraph
<ctrl>z		undo

peace, love & harmony
