Hi. My name is Martin Friebe. I am a professional Software Developer. I was born in Germany, and I am now living in London (UK).

I got involved with Lazarus by contributing some patches (Debugger, Synedit, Code-Folding). I am now mainly looking at improving SynEdit.

Plans

• Fix bugs
• Fix more Bugs
• Clean up and refactor. Someone already put up some ideas here Redesign of the SynEdit component. And there is more

• Move all gutter code into a structure of Classes:

TGutterManager: To Represent to act as an interface and represent the whole Gutter

TGutterLineNumbers, TGutterFoldInfo, TGutterMarks, TGutterBrkPoints: To draw the individual columns of the Gutter.

This will allow to easily modify or add to the Gutter

• Move drawing the Text To it's own class (like the gutter)
• Create classes for Caret, BlockSelection, ViewPort (Topline,LeftChar, LinesInWindow, WindowWidthInChar)

This will help to more clearly define interactions between them (Via OnChangeNotify callbacks)

(Started for Caret)

• Reduce the Calculation overhead. There currently is some internal Data that SynEedit keeps recalculating more often than needed. (This should benefit from The caret and Viewpoint classes)
• Defer the calculation of some of the internal data. Calculate either OnIdle, or OnRequest

• More folding

• Class and Class sections (public,private,...) in the Interface Part [|Bug 12139]
• Full Procedure/function at "Procedure xxx;" line
• var/const/type sections
• maybe IFDEF
• maybe User-defined

• WordWrap
• Look at Synedit 2.x (import and maybe export back to them)
• Allow to have multiple editors open in Lazarus, and have more than one view of the same document.
• Writing TestCases

Done

• Fixed Bugs
• Various debugger patches sent to Marc
• Refactored CodeFolding: A majority of the folding code has been moved into it's own classes
• Refactored TrimTrailingSpaces: Moved into it's own class, which acts as a "view" (virtual TextBuffer, between SynEdit, and SynEditTextBuffer)
