Feature requests: Go to style etc

ShellShock · 01-04-2014, 06:33 AM

I really appreciate the new Edit books function.

Some suggestions for possible enhancements:

Right clicking a class in the editor could give a "Go to style" option on the pop-up menu, which takes you to the appropriate style definition in the stylesheet.

Configurable Smarten Punctuation. Currently I use my own regexes for this in my own bespoke Calibre plug-in (my regexes do hyphen to em-dash conversion); it would be great if I could configure the regexes directly in the Smarten Punctuation in Edit book.

Configurable Beautify, especially whether opening braces "{" are inline or start on a new line.

Thanks

I'm not going to implement go to class. It's pretty limited. What about styles that are applied using other types of selectors? Instead there will someday be a live css editor, which will work like the inspect tool except that you can make changes to all the css for a tag and these will update the css file in the book directly.

For the rest, patches are welcome.

Wow, this will really be much cooler, and more useful, i think!
