New feature text map

Post by 11111 »

As you know, there are few text editors with "content-map" feature.

For example: "sublime text", "Notepad++",
"EditBone", "Parnassus navigator (RAD Studio IDE plugin)" and others ...

I think it will be nice feature for TRichView ...

Ok, I understand, thank you.
It's not a trivial thing, the main problem is updating this window efficiently without redrawing the whole thing on each editing.
Probably, we will implement it in future, but not in very near future.

Good to hear it. ))

Also, I want to say that in most editors this map is represented like scrolling alternative only, but in
parnassus plugin it has feature to preview code part in large hint by pointing mouse. how you can see this from the sceenshot.
