Some suggestions that I gathered from people's opinion

[bjeremii]

I talked with some people as to why people aren't using CLEO5 for their scripts. One of the reasons I found is that they use gta3script that isn't updated for CLEO5 yet. We ended up talking about why they don't use SB and here's what I gathered.

1. Autocomplete. They didn't know SB had Autocomplete which is activated using CTRL+SPACE. This also led them to believe that they need to use the Opcode Search Tool every time they want to code. People need to know that Autocomplete is possible on SB upon their first use. Maybe by making it so Autocomplete doesn't require a keybind to activate, or add a built-in guide that shows the functions of SB on their first use.

2. Info on Hover. When they hover over a command on gta3script, it shows them what the command does and the extension it needs. On SB, Autocomplete already shows what the command does, but it isn't really convenient to use Autocomplete just to check what a command does. I think this Info on Hover feature will be very needed. Sure, we can use Sanny Builder Library, but it's a waste of time for some people.

3. Collapsing Indentations. With SB being able to format code with proper indentations, there should be a feature to collapse indentations to make bigger scripts easier to read.

4. Redo Keybind. The Redo keybind on SB is CTRL+SHIFT+Z, contrary to what casual users are more familiar with, which is CTRL+Y. I think this can be solved with the built-in guide I mentioned in number 1. As it turns out, I wasn't the only victim of this misunderstanding! I always thought it was a bug.

Thanks for sharing it with me.

1. There have been a number of suggestions related to autocomplete, which I collected under this milestone
   https://github.com/sannybuilder/dev/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20milestone%3A%22Autocomplete%20System%22

2. command description is displayed at the bottom when you put cursor on it

3. I think you mean code folding new function: Code Folding #143

4. I can make this binding configurable via options. Note that Undo/Redo actions are also duplicated in the Edit menu and on the main toolbar.

Keep in mind that as a solo developer I can't compete with a multi-billion dollar company and dozens of engineers working on the IDE full time. Sanny is not VS Code, and never will be. If you like VS Code more, I can totally understand, I use it all the time for my work too. You can try this extension too https://github.com/NoPressF/sb4-vscode

I see that you are already working on it, wish you good luck on that.

Like you said, command description is indeed at the bottom. But that can be hard to see/read for some people, and the theme used also greatly impacts its readability. I use the Material Bold Dark theme, and the text almost blends in with the background, like in the image below. This becomes a great issue on for example, LCD screens, where your seat position really changes how the color on the screen looks to you and can end up hiding things. I think command description should be a floating tooltip.

It's a shame that code folding isn't possible right now, but I look forward to when it's possible.

It would be great to be able to rebind it. 👍

It's understandable, especially when you're at an old age. I think that making SB open source would somewhat help, but you said it wasn't worth it so I won't pressure you about it.

Ctr+Shift+Z is common redo hotkey combination in multiple editors. The combination is also shown in the Edit>Redo menu, so it is not impossible to naturally figure it out. Ctrl+Y is less ergonomic to use.
Yes, it could be configurable in settings, but does not seem to be high priority need.

Autocomplete list pooping up automatically when typing even single letter probably would not be bad. Should be configurable in case somebody find it annoying.
Also it should be single feature. Currently there is another, separate autocomplete list for templates feature, that majority of users does not even know exists.
Templates could then been extended by SBL function syntax, including foreign function declarations.

I think using CTRL+SHIFT+Z as a shortcut for Redo will create confusion for many people. Even VSCode defaults to CTRL+Y; I don't think I've ever actually seen any text editors using redo shortcut other than CTRL+Y.

[MiranDMC]

Hm, Notepad++ has both the combinations set by default:

[nathan130200]

Yes but a standard of redo is CTRL+Y. Ctrl+SHIFT+Z is mostly used in Mac.

[MiranDMC]

Anyway, if Notepad++ with all its features can afford to have two key combinations per undo and redo it should not be a problem in Sanny Builder to do the same.

Being honest, I almost never open the "Edit" tab. Trust me, I am not the only that does this. Most people, when they end up using a text editor, they remember the general keybinds of the first ever text editor they used, which in most of the cases is just Notepad. Finding out Redo being CTRL+SHIFT+Z wouldn't be much of a problem, if it wasn't or the fact that there's another keybind in CTRL+Y to delete the current line. This makes people think, "Oh SB has Redo, but it's broken. All it does is delete the current line".

The Replace keybind being CTRL+R didn't really bother me, because there was nothing binded to CTRL+H. So naturally I thought "Oh, the keybind for Replace on SB is not CTRL+H". But that's not the case for Redo.
