Crazy outline view
The crazy outline view is amazing, very impressive work. Could you perhaps add a scrollbar so that the source text is always the same size and that it is also useful for larger source text?
Currently the size of the crazy outline view is fixed, hence if the source code is very long the outline becomes unreadable. My suggestion is to have outline show always X lines, e.g. 200 and if the source has more outline allow to scroll. I'm not sure if 200 is the right number, it is just an example.
Do you know sublime? Sublime is a popular editor which does the same.
Currently Crazy Outline View supports Gesture to slide view port, What if I add scroll bars on it, It may makes user confused.
I will check sublime.
Actually I made it because I can't use sublime in my workplace. (I couldn't ask to buy it for me because I like only outline feature)
Gesture is great but if the area get too small, it hard to position the cursor.
See here for a screenshot of sublime. http://www.sublimetext.com/ The text in the outline stays always the same size, with a Gesture to slide the view port plus a scrollbar.
Any news on that? Would be great to have a fixed size in the crazy outline view.
hello @vogella , happy new year!
In current state, I decided to re-design crazy outline feature.
During continuous typing in editor, Current Crazy Outline makes it slightly slow. It's pretty bother to me. typing must be react mean for fun.
So I will design some optimized damage repairing mechanism which requires full redesign, And I will accept your idea also.
I am also checking here to ask about the same problem.
While keeping code within the margins, CrazyOutline works very well. But if some line of my codes goes long, outside of the margin, it makes Crazy Outline not very helpful.
I think, if code goes outside of margin, it should run outside of view of Crazy Outline, Just the same way it is not visible in the Editor window.
