Experimental structured editors for C# and XML(guilabs.net)

submitted by KirillOsenkovKirillOsenkov(570) 4 years, 11 months ago

This thesis is a research effort to build usable structured editors - editors that don't treat programs as text, but rather directly work with the underlying program structure (AST). Structured editors take care of syntax and formatting. Some first preview screenshots are already available.

Not bad. But it just looks like a bracket hiding method. Not that hiding brackets is a bad thing; they do tend to clutter up things.

That's right.

But it's also about speeding up typing a little bit. The operations on these 'blocks' are atomic - just click on the rectangle to select any language construct, and then - delete, move, copy, rename, etc. (no need for text selection). And you'll never have to hit Tab again for proper indentation.
