In-client IDE

"We need to figure out how to quickly set up Web VScode with a classpath that allows for syntax highlighting, for module development (since modules will be made by public, random nons)
It does not work because it is not implemented... at all.
It would work by doing something with vscode in the web, or installing some kind of editor."

Frankly I'm not quite sure what this is about, or if it's very solid of an idea, or what it actually is that's being explained here. I'm giving this to saturn5Vfive to do until this is more concrete.

@Saturn5Vfive please explain more about this idea if you want to give it to someone else.

Bro PrismJS exists

@CmorDusMor @Saturn5Vfive why web IDE? Can't people just use Intellij to create their modules and then upload the files?

I think we can just use https://codemirror.net/ and wrap it in a container that has options to switch tabs. no need to reinvent the wheel.

That's what I was thinking too. I could make a quick app with Tauri that's also autoinstalled, then the mod can start it with some command args for file and such

Merged #34, should make it automatically update the ide files in this repo

@0x4D2D @stdcout1 sick job getting this to work!
Lefty and I agree on a few things though:

1. you should be able to press "tab" to complete the tabcomplete (instead of having to manually click it)

2. you should be able to see more than JUST the top method, ideally the top 4-7, and ideally you should be able to scroll wheel up and down to see all matching methods

3. method autocomplete needs to be sorted ALPHABETICALLY (NOT by length, by length is really annoying and stupid.) we're both screaming in agony about this.

4. the IDE location just says "placeholder, please implement when actual" https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1068605392948564110/1139491406159810601/image.png this needs to be ACTUALLY implemented to correctify this feature, obviously

5. the editor DESPERATELY NEEDS copy+paste support (ctrl+c, ctrl+v)

6. you need to be able to highlight text by clicking and dragging (currently only double/triple-click works to highlight, and ctrl+a)

7. i don't know how easy or even possible this would be to fix, but notice the following:

public Class main {
MinecraftClient.getInstance().[all the autocomplete stuff works here]
MinecraftClient mc = MinecraftClient.getInstance();
mc.[nothing shows up for autocomplete here]
}

very close to finishing i believe

just gotta get the ide code to link with the lsp

so true
