Board Thread:General Coding Help/@comment-24473195-20150306231211

I recently created a script that adds some simple but convenient tools(such as going straight to a error line, and showing a hover for error messages) to the code-editor (LuaError) specifically for lua, but maybe for javascript as well.

It is clear that Wikia is creating their own editor which may include some of these tools, but chances are that some important things will be missed by them. So this thread serves to highlight inconveniences in the current editor and maybe providing scripts to deal with them:

For now I'm thinking of implementing:


 * Tabbing using the tab;
 * Making errors in code editor scroll to the line number upon clicking;
 * Showing errors on preview while hovering;
 * Adding a small reference guide/ lua Faq to the page.

Perhaps eventually some ideas will be deemed good enough to be implemented by wikia whenever the new code-editor goes live.

Any thoughts, criticism or ideas?
