Better editor

[mmkathurima]

I understand you are making the editor from scratch.
Suggestions to enhance it:

• Brace matching
• Syntax highlighting for methods
• Clicking on line margins highlights entire line
• documentation on hover
• type information on hovering variables e.g. popup showing x is an int and is defined in foo() and/or defined in class/interface/abstract class/annotation etc Bar.
• parameter information eg derived from javadocs including their types
• tab with autocomplete popup should complete the suggestion rather than indent line of code
• Persistent custom font sizes i.e. when the application is closed and opened later, the custom font size is preserved

And many more I have not thought of yet

These are all great suggestions - and most should be easy (less than a day). I'll be working on this list.

@reportmill Another note - also look into a more user friendly way to (re)open a file in a project and making use of context menus in the project sidebar. The dropdown button's context menu items require more testing too :-)

@reportmill Additionally, consider drag-and-drop of text within and out of the editor
