• emacs-rails wishlist
  • create emacs pend/unpend commands for rspec
    + proper in stead of key macro
    + ideally detecting what the level is at which the function is defined and pending all code inside it
  • textmate like snippets ({0:whatever} {$0}, each only entered once), reading their xml def
  • have mechanism to easily copy previous commands to prompt in rails console
  • define a command in rails console to execute current line (minus >> prompt)
  • make keys work in rails goto popup menu
  • switch between spec and code (different behaviour depending on rails/ruby)
  • prevent file from loosing rails mode when switching to console
  • make it so that a symbol (:whatever) that occured earlier can be completed as an identifier elsewhere
    For example if you have set before_filter :whatever then typing def wha ALT-/ will complete it
    And vice versa
  • toggle inserting ActiveRecord log output into console
    See: [[http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2007/1/31/more-on-watching-activerecord][More on watching ActiveRecord]]
  • fix ansi displaying of colors in emacs buffer
  • integrate pastie support (make sure it is also easy to copy)
  • allow autocompletion after !. (other characters?)
  • tab completion of ruby code in code windows
  • understanding of ruby block so that you can do things like kill current block etc.
  • support for automatch html tag to close
  • indentation support for rSpec stories
  • automatic translation of story text to steps format
  • emacs based scaffolding (create boilerplate code based on info in files)
  • ‘rak’ output in emacs with links clickable
  • run rak on current word or selection for entire rails tree
  • allow emacs macros to be written in ruby
  • support for erb extention
  • full integration with ruby debugger
  • tab completion in console
  • integration with viewing online/offline docs
  • make ruby-backward-sexp, ruby-forward-sexp, ruby-beginning-of-block and ruby-end-of-block work as expected
  • no stack error when doing rails-rake:migrate-to-version with lots of migrations
  • show model’s schema info in model file as comments
  • create goto-method function that shows list of methods in current file
  • folding
  • Run single rspec example using -l
  • Fix ruby parsing: occasionally parsing breaks and rest of file is shown as if it were a string
