bn-notepad's Issues

Update plugin screenshot

A better screenshot demonstrating more Markdown features would be best

Add markdown or rich text support

It would be nice to have markdown or rich text support in the text editor, which is currently plaintext. Markdown could be complicated, rich text might be easier, but I forget what Qt offers in regard to rich text support in QTextEdit widgets.

plugin.json required to have a "Type" field

See: https://github.com/Vector35/sample_plugin/blob/master/plugin.json

No warning to save when closing bndb after edits in notepad

When edits in the notepad are the only changes in a bndb, there is no warning to save the bndb before closing it.

Custom style sheets

The Markdown Preview Enhanced plugin for vscode supports customization through style sheets:

Not to the same degree, but something like it that would allow users to choose their own degree of desired formatting and things like proportional/mono fonts, font families and sizes, etc.

Qt 6 support

Pretty sure this won't work under Qt 6 right now as is uses PySide2. Porting it, however, should be an easy fix.

Apply base stylesheet for better Markdown appearance

Tables and inline/block code look a little rough right now, but could be fixable with some simple styling.

Correct PySide6 import strategy

Using the try/catch import strategy for PySide6 is wrong - the choice should instead be determined by the Qt major version BN reports.

View tab scroll position is lost every time content changes

Editing the notes in the edit tab will refresh the view tab, which will reset the scroll position to the top of the document

Notepad surface context menu should have "Hide Notepad" item

All of the native dock widgets can be hidden by right-clicking them and choosing "Hide XYZ" - the notepad should have this option too.

Notepad view tab is blank on startup

Notepad automatically opens

Even though False is passed as the default_visibility parameter for the notepad widget upon registration, it automatically opens regardless, which is annoying.

bn-notepad/__init__.py

Lines 7 to 9 in 6376b66

	docking.register_widget(
	NotepadDockWidget, "Notepad", Qt.RightDockWidgetArea, Qt.Vertical, False
	)

Org-mode style collapsible headings

Edit menu actions do not target the notepad widget

The binja Edit menu cut/copy/paste operations do not interact with the notepad widget.

Not sure how difficult that would be to fix, just something I noticed.

Internal hyperlink support

Being able to link to addresses or functions inside the binary would be very useful - the question is how...
