Could a particular form of comment to be standardized (i.e. like
//#foldingregion regionname and, of course, //#endfoldingregion regionname) that
will be recognized by DIDE/others IDE as a folding mark (to fold some particular
code zones)?
Notice is not part of language but of IDE settings...
Simpler syntax is desirable, I think.

More, is there any possib to fold the code in other manner: either by keeping both { and } or by keeping none? I know DIDE is Scintilla-based so I think it is a Scintilla matter, but it would be possible?

Ex:

void fcn1
{
//etc 1
//etc 2
}

to be folded in:

void fcn1
{
//folding mark
}

or

void fcn1 //folding mark

These will avoid human interpretation errors, even if indentation works fine.

Ah, another thing: about colors: could we have an option to color up the pointers by one color, the classes and structs by other (or variables), type by other one etc. I don't know if it is feasible or useful, I just launch the idea.

Yes I like this idea Ill add it to the list.

I dont think so , not without modifications to Scintilla.

It'd require modifiucation of Scintilla ( I think , Ill double check ).  It has some options for adding keywords of type 3 but I couldn't get it work , ill check.

Also in the future could you send FR's , comments to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dide/ .

Preciate it ,

Could I make a plugin for DIDE ? If yes , how can I do it ??
And when will I get code-complete for D ?

DIDE has code-completion (and you can add you own  Settings->Abbreviations) 

Tagging.
Ctrl+Space will try to compile the word.

Abbreviations.
If you type
for<space>
(where space is literal)
it'll write
for ( ; ; ; ) {

}

(I've reason to believe (and hope) that the above may be made easier in future versions). Charles has said that he's working on better tagging for the next version.

DIDE does not have plugins but it has been discussed a little. Any ideas how a DIDE plugin would look?
Also there's a DIDE egroup for suggestions http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dide/.

I am a big proponent of com/activex, its the best and most widely used plugin system available, and allows plugins in many languages to be written (i.e delphi, basic, c++) Inventing new app specific plugin architectures seems always a brittle solution to me...

Since D supports COM almost as a part of the language (at least on Win32), it'd be silly to invent another architecture.

The only experience I have with extending an IDE is through scripting , Im really not sure what you mean by extending by writing modules ( Ill look over MSVC's architecture see how they do it ).

What do you think would be a good architechture ?  I'd love to hear some suggestions / links to other good architectures / notes on implementation if you have time.

Thanks,
C
