Who would be the best person to speak with about writing a custom IDE feature for lazarus code editor?

I would like to see a smart auto code suggestion popup like C# in VS or CnWizards for Delphi's "Code Helper".

Basically, I type "tstr" and the code suggestion list is shown with suggestions like :

TStrings
TStringList

Basically like having CTRL-SPACE hit automatically for you.

The one that comes with CnWizards (open source) is very nice as it allows you to set the number of characters that are entered before the suggestions are shown and it's pretty intelligent as far as suggestions not just based on alpha matching.

Thanks,

If i have a time i prefer to create new useful component/object instead of build something for lazy peoples :)

Of course you're welcome to your opinion, But I think you're confusing being lazy with a desire to be more productive. I've done without this feature in Delphi since I started using it with D6 about 5-6 years ago. I've only started using it maybe 6 months ago and I KNOW I'm more productive with it.

- Auto suggestion feature like this makes you more productive. Typing out TStringList vs. type "tstr" and hitting enter key is magnitudes in difference.

- Visual feedback provided by this feature also makes you more productive because you are less likely to make spelling mistakes which require you to go back and fix something.

- Better quality code. Because you don't have to type it out manually every time, you are more apt to write slightly longer, more descriptive variables which makes your code more readable, self descriptive and easier to maintain.

- I never said I was wanting it done for free. I'm willing to pay a reasonable fee to have it included with the IDE and made available to others who might find it useful.

- Placing a smiley after an insult doesn't make it any less of an insult. That would be like me saying your comment was idiotic, in poor taste and could possibly point to an over bearing, stunted personality. ;)

Hi,

Maybe you could try here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Bounties

and announce back here.

Someone capable of the task might contact you.

Thank you. I saw that page before, but I would prefer that someone capable of the work, just quote me out for it and I can decide if I can afford it or not.

I wonder if it would be permissible to ask for quote instead of saying what I am willing to pay...

Yes it is.

Im using GTK2 W/S on linux, and when I copy a TLabelEdit component and then paste, it copies the edit box fine but the label part is fixed to the position of the original label.

Should I report this as a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

I apologize for my words, i always use a dictionary to write my messages and some word not that "insult" in my mother language and try to write short message to give the meaning.

I meant: many features come out mean many bugs, and i like to see a stable release of Lazarus in a short time.
