Amaya wish list


Wish Id. Editing/User Interface Submission Submitted By Done
WED001 I'd like to see a simple context menu (when you right-click) that has some basic commands in it. 2002-08-21 2007-10-8
WED006 In the source-view I would like a text-wrap like in emacs (no word-wrap!). At the moment I only can use horizontal scrolling, which is much more tedious. 2004-02 V. Risak
WED007 The synchronized pointers in the different amaya-views are very useful. But in long lines, especially in the source view, I would prefer/wish a "red line" (additional to the pointer) which marks the whole line. This would make editing the source much easier. 2004-02 V. Risak
WED008 Allow repetion of previous search command (Word and Excel have F4 for the same purpose) 2003-02 J. M. Cruz
WED009 Support for "multi-target" xlinks 2004-07-09 J. Dirry
WED010 Support of gb18030:
This article provides good explaination and method to convert gb18030 to/from unicode;

WED012 Should Amaya set the CF_HTML format in the clipboard, aditionally to the other formats it sets, then it's interoperability would be enhanced by letting copy and paste from main browsers into Amaya's browse view without needing to resort to an HTML source view neither in Amaya nor in the other program.

WED013 Interpretation of tabs (text alignment) in source views. 2005-09-25 R. Flower
WED014 Parental information showed in the state line at the bottom could add values of some element's attributes (eg: name):

summary \ system \ file(zap.html) \ dir(things) \ dir(basic) \ dir(home)\ doc

A solution could be a configuration option to associate elements' names with preferred attributes' values to show (in order):

doc:name ; dir:name,id ; file:fileLocalName ;

WED015 No Formatted View as an option: it's useless when working with xml docs' structure and contents. 2005-12-20 F. Mato
WED016 Bookmarks. We have been hearing from the Amaya team for a long time that yes, some super-duper-sophisticated-wonderful bookmark system will come. In the meantime, please, please, just a simple bookmark system 2006-01-24 I. Herman
WED019 Better I18N. If I have Arabic, Chinese, etc, characters in my text, the formatting becomes often awful, with characters on the top of one another. 2006-01-24 I. Herman
WED020 A good thing would be a way, after detecting that the copy on the site has changed, to retrieve the latest copy, and merge or show a list of potential merges with a way to apply them. That would help a lot for the lost update issue. 2006-01-24 Y. Lafon
WED021 when I create an id attribute (for instance) and the selection is empty, I expect it to be added to the current enclosing element, and don't expect an empty span to be created with the attribute. 2006-01-24 S. Pemberton
WED034 Amaya should be able to open two formatted views of the same document. 2006-02-21 C. Beall
WED035 In preferences, it is old style to have "apply" buttons. It is simpler to just change things immediately the UI has changed, and if necessary revert them later. To be able to change them and close the window without actually having hi "apply" or "done" is too easy. It is simpler for the user if the state of the switch or button or field at any one time actually represents the state of the preference. 2006-01-28 T. Berners-Lee
WED036 Why does the caret ends up inside the pasted div instead of after it? You say 'is put at the end of that part" which is ambiguous but should mean "after the part" rather than "just before the close of the outermost element of that part". 2006-03-17 T. Berners-Lee
WED037 In Microsoft Word they allow CTRL-Delete, which will delete the WHOLE word to the right of the curser (caret). 2006-04-03 G. Hobson
WED038 Add an icon in the tab area to close the current tab 2006-04-13 A. Kotok 2007-10-15
WED039 I was just wondering whether a "check for updates" or automatic updater functionality 2006-09-01 N. Jenkinson
WED046 It would be nice to be able to turn dds into dts and vice versa. 2007-02-09 T. Roessler
WED050 <shift> with mouse scrolling wheel could be used for horizontal scrolling. 2007-02-24 Pascal
WED051 Site-root relative paths to work in the browser part of Amaya (would presumably require setting multiple site roots in the prefs)

Since I am using site-root relative links in various parts of my sites, I currently have to open files for editing individually via the menus, rather than simply double-clicking and browsing to them, because I am working on the files locally and Amaya doesn't know what the site-root is.

WED052 When I create a new XHTML Strict 1.0 document, Amaya automatically enters

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Is there a way to set up Amaya so that line of code is not entered?

Would it be possible to have Amaya set a default value for the "datetime" attribute when adding an "INS" or "DEL" element in an XHTML document? I think this default value should be the current time but would need converting to the "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD" format specified by the HTML4 spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-datetime).

Annotations Submission Submitted By Done
WANN001 Apparently Amaya uses only DocumentURLs when requesting annotations for a document, while if Content-location were used. 2004-07-08 Marja
WANN002 A way to post all the annotations made on a document? 2004-10-07 JL. Meunier
WANN003 I suggest that instead of depicting one pencil for each annotation, Amaya depicted a single pencil icon and a number, maybe like a power exponent, with the number of comments. 2007-08-25 J. Lanus
CSS Submission Submitted By Done
WCSS002 I would be interested in seeing support for the missing CSS2.1 properties (see current state)
WCSS006 It would be really cool to be able to 'Contract' and 'Expand' multi-line style definitions in the CSS editor, kind of the thing Mozilla does with XML documents and some code editors can do with, for example, different methods. 2004-03 Thomas
WCSS008 It would be nice if the selectors, properties and values of a CSS file would be shown in differents colors (comments are already shown in green). It would improve the legibility of the CSS files. 2006-01-11 B. Sintes
WCSS010 In order for a page developer to test such alternate stylesheets, they would need to appear in the lists displayed by:
  • Style
  • Enable
  • Disable
  • Open

WCSS011 Amaya ignores the CSS max-width property 2006-12-19 T. Roessler
WCSS012 Would it be possible to allow users to turn CSS warning off? 2007-02-17 D. Pratten
