Sincerely yours,
Yury V. Zaytsev
===========
AFAICS you are just guessing.
I need info from someone who's been there and done it.
In writing my analyses, which I've now deleted,
I've discoved that mc+cedit gives a structured editor for your chosen language,
which is amazing, considering that structured editors are major projects.
Editable templates for some languages: perl, 'shell', C..etc.; are included
and you can add your own/modifications/extentions.
Importantly, the template which is selected during the mc-edit session, is
determined by the extension [and initial content?] of the file being edited.
So the <F9> -> File -> User menu..: menu-path will never take you to eg. the
C/C++ node unless applied to eg. a *.c file.
To see the level of power/complexity/possibility-of-chaos it can be noted that
when exercising the part of the menu which reads:-----
+ f \.c$ | f \.cc$
6 switch ()
NUMBER=%{ Enter number elements of switch:}
echo "%iswitch () {" >%b
while [ "$NUMBER" -gt 0 ]
do
echo "%icase '':" >>%b
echo "%i break;" >>%b
let NUMBER=$NUMBER-1
done
echo "%i default:" >>%b
echo "%i}" >>%b
---------------
you have <apparently>
1: selected the file-type/extension: *.c or *.cc
2: selected the 'switch construct'
3: been prompted for and entered the <number of cases>
So you're down 3-levels in a decision tree.
My prefered language is not included [I can add it], so I tried to build a
funct(while(IfThenElse()) construct in C, and experienced problems:
1. the next-deeper-construct would not correctly write immediately
after the "{",
but needed the cursor to be placed on a new-line.
2. with no combined-indenting the structure was confusing; but since separate
source-code-indenters are available, this may be fixable.
For syntaxes that the user seldom uses, the captured knowledge that is available
seems potentially very usefull. The related syntax-hi-lighting IS very usefull.
And user contributions could help to add value, it there was a mechanism to
capture them.
