codepad-chrome-app's Issues

small text

My file viewer and editor is glitched

Any chance for supporting PowerShell in the near future

HI,

I would love it if you could builtin support for PowerShell scripts.
Much appreciated in advance.

Kind regards,

Laurens Brand

codepad-chrome

colorization, C language, seems to be off for .h files

On chromebook, out of the box, it was colorizing my ".c" but not ".h" files.

Glitches while coding

I have recently had some troubles where the script editor doesn''t work and glitches out half way through coding. Then I lose heaps of work that I had done

Hypertext

I need hypertext enabled here as with some of the other editors can you help me with this

sharing in codepad

I wanna have an opinion where I can send my friends my game and they can also edit on it and view it I use a .py file mainly but can you make it support all coding languages because we all wanna work on a game please and thank you.

Doesn't appear in the Google Disk

Hi,

The Google Drive plugin menu (New->More->Connect more apps) allows me to select and connect your application as a Drive plugin, but I don't see any reference to your application in the Google Drive menu and can't even disconnect your application from the Google Drive options back.

Also, I've installed the application as a Chrome plugin. I've noticed that this is a different (from previous) installation option, but the reference to the application is the same: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/code-pad-ide/adaepfiocmagdimjecpifghcgfjlfmkh

I don't see any reference from your application to the Google Drive, it probably means, that the application doesn't use Google Drive in any manner.

It looks like you are confusing users of your application now. Please, either remove the reference to your application from the Google Drive plugin list or add the Google Drive support to the application.

Block comment support

I have block to find block comment support, but so far not found this. For instance, programming i Python, it's nice to have the ability to insert "#" on every line in a block of code.

Issue with Add file menu/device resolution

The 'New' [Add file] control drop down menu extends beyond the bottom of the [default sized] app window, masking file types after SQL.

On OSX [Desktop] this is not an issue as I can easily expand the editor window, and the new window size is remembered on subsequent launches.

However, I am unable to expand the app window sufficiently on Chrome OS [Pixelbook], without changing the default resolution of said Pixelbook.

I hope this helps and is of interest

How can I get a single pipe style cursor instead of a fat wide cursor?

Hello,

I've tried each of the four cursor settings and they're all fat (m width).

How can I get a thin, Windows-style cursor like I see in this web page right now as I write this note?

Thank you,

Chris

Where is 'RUN' to execute a job?

Hi I am a new PYTHON beginner. I am excited to use. I can't find 'RUN' to execute a small job.

Bugs

win7 operating system

#15 (comment)

_Originally posted by @chivesz in #15 (comment)

Allow .yaml as a valid extention for YAML files (not just .yml)

My primary use case for using this app is editing configuration files for Home Assistant. They are all .yaml files.

It would be awesome if Codepad could recognize .yaml as YAML and do syntax highlighting as it would for .yml files. Bonus points if I can create a new .yaml file from the menu in the upper right.

I'd also settle for this issue being solved, which seems like a more general way to accomplish what I'm asking for: Changing editor mode for unknown file type

Vertical Line in Editor

So I am new to this editor, and editors in general. When you open the Code Pad app, the center of the console has a vertical line down the center. As far as I can tell, there is no use for it, as unless you specifically set the line wrapping to a lower value, the code stretches past this line. Is this a bug or a feature I am unaware of? Also, is there any way to run python in this app?

Ability to edit R

Hello, this is not an issue, more of a request to see if there was any plan to have R code show up just like we have for those other languages (PHP, Python, etc...), i.e., a way for the editor to recognize .r files and understand what keywords are, etc....

Andy.

Using "New" Rust source file generates incorrect file extension.

Option to create a new Rust file generates '.rc' but it should be '.rs'. Syntax highlighting works for '.rc' files but not '.rs' files.

Syntax highlighting for perl module files (.pm)

Perl module files are not recognized properly by the syntax highlighter.

Prevent default undefined_1.js from opening every time

Please? This is a great editor, but there is no reason for this to open EVERY time. I could understand first run, however closing it every time is getting old...

Editor -> IDE preferences -> (Tab size, Word wrap limit) has no numerical value

Editor -> IDE preferences -> (Tab size, Word wrap limit) has no numerical value, slider only.

Git auto sync

Is it possible to sync automatically with Git? I understand you can browse and manage projects, however, i'm more focusing on the sort of integration seen with projects like the Chrome Tailor Code Editor.

How to refresh a project list on left pane?

Hello,

When I've make a script file on google drive, I can't refresh a left pane of Code Pad.
So that I can't apply a new file to my project on Code Pad. Please let me know that how to I refresh it?

No run button

Wordcount feature request

For those using this to edit text, wordcount would be helpful. Are there ways of introducing plugins for this app?

Printing

Great editor, but no print option?

Will this be added in the future?

Using chromebook acer C720P, still going strong!

DOnate pop-up does not dissapear after donation

I don't know if this is a feature or not, but i have donated for Code Pad, and i still get the Donate Pop-up everytime i open a file.

There is a way to disable it?

https://www.law.cornell.edu/rio/citation/Pub._L._107-273

"+New" (Add File) menu without scroll

"+New" (Add File) displays long list of file types, but it longer than height of screen. And cursor can be moved over lower edge of screen.

Themes aren't working

The customization isn't being changed as there doesn't seem to be a "save" option nor does the application save themes automatically.

object processevent error

it won't even let me open a file, it keeps saying it is there a way to bypass it?

changing editor mode for unknown file type

Great editor, great job.
But it would be great it would be great if I could change editor mode for unknown file types, or define it.
Example, I have .html.erb (Ruby on Rails) and they can be rendered as html, but I cant (or I dont know how to) change it.
Thank you

emmet?

not supporting emmet!

FEATURE Request

In terms of UI : If you could provide side stacking of all the files in the folder.

And the most important feature, if you could provide a way to rebase the github repository as everyone uses this on chrome os and this is such a pain to deal with.

IF you have a way to work on github, you will have my money each month!
Make it a pro feature of something!

When no file is open, CTRL+N will not work.

If no file is open, doing CTRL+N will not open a new file, it will open a new chrome window.
Please prevent this.

Run

How do I run the code I make?

Set Default Language or stop java script file from opening

Is there any what to make a specific language the default or stop it from opening a javascript file every time.

codepa/> app doesn't open a project on Mac osx

Dear all I'm trying to use codepa on High Sierra but I'm not able to open a project: I select a folder then I clik ok and nothing happens, I'm back on home folder and any project is loaded.

Cheers
Lorenzo

Control autocomplete

Is there a way to turn autocomplete on or off? It is permanently on, and I would like to turn it off, but can't find any documentation for this.

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious. I'm new to github. Thanks!

No run button?

Shell for Python

So most online IDEs like repl.it or others have the python shell which shows your output. I was wondering if it would be possible to recreate that for the editor. (and maybe for all the languages if we are lucky)

Saving files.

When I try to save a file the editor tells me that there are new adjustments to be saved but I've saved them all. Any ideas?

It does not let me save p5.js

So when I try to code in P5.js(A JS framework) it does not save, it does the same thing phaser(another framework, but for making games). can you please fix.

File system error: [object ProgressEvent]

I keep hitting the subject error of this ticket every time I try to save a file I'm working on locally. What is this issue and how can I bypass it? So far its blocking me from saving anything.

The new file menu is cut off because it does not scroll

i understand stopping for copyright changes but i need this to be fixed

when i download my friends .zip file i pull files in it and it says filesystem error when i try to change the code on it

Cannot switch input language

HP Chromebook 11.2
The shortcut ctrl+Space not working when the cursor is on the coding window.

CTRL-S and SAVED button do not work properly

Hello!
Today, I try to save my work by using CTRL-S and SAVED button; but, the green circle on top of the page does not disappeared.
It means that the page haven't been saved.
I don't know why ? Could check on that matter.
By the way, you are the best IDE for Chromebook and I just it for all my project now - Kudo :)

Remove default undefined_1.js file at startup

Is there a way to remove the default file that loads when launching this app? It's an excellent app!
