Playing with gideon

I use now Gideon as my daily tool for development. It is really great.
But I think there are at least one thing to fix if you want more and
more developers to use it - and so do bug reporting: fix the shortcut
mess. The default installation of gideon shares some shortcuts with
the katepart. It leads to strange behaviour. Some of my friends won't
have used it if I didn't explained the problem to them.
And some bugs. These are not very grave bugs but leads to important
usability issues:
- C++ class parser doesn't handle namespaces properly when the
namespace is declared (in the .cpp file) with "using namespace foo"
- [rare, so not really important] It doesn't handle template
declaration/definition in the same file. When I have
template<class C> class foo {
void bar(); }
template<class C> foo<C>::bar() { }
. I cannot go directly to the declaration using the classtree
. if I sort the classtree by namespace, foo's methods are displayed
directly into the namespace foo belongs to.
- in IDEAI mode, if the dialog that has to be displayed in a dock is
too big for it (for example "parent classes"), it is truncated (no
problem here), but the splitter of the dock isn't displayed anymore
and gets back only if I restart gideon.
Now, a personnal wishlist:
- in IDEAI mode, add a key that closes the dock on which the mouse is
over. It would be a very great improvement because the way the docks
hide themselves is far from perfect.
Thank you very much for your work
