General

• Go for MVP consisting of 90% of common use
• plus all convenient features that come along with it

Auto refresh

• FileChangeEvent

Workspaces

• Needs to support multiple workspaces (Already do this somewhat)
• Find out how to deal with status views and other views
• Dispose of stuff when quit workspace etc..

File menu. Magit activate menu for a file in the repo

Main menu

Alle views i magit støtter hovedmenyen Burde være DocumentView som sendes rundt! Alle disse trenger update når det skjer noe uansett. Dog forskjellig update, e.g magit Log state Finn ut av multiplexingen her

Da tror jeg modellen som den er nå er grei. Hadde vært amazing om jeg klarer alt med 1 og samme language også altså kun "magit"... ikke "magit-status" etc

UI

• icons https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/icons-in-labels e.g $(git-branch)

• Transient interface: CONFIGURE should be just one action in the list. too much noise otherwise When selected bring up some configure interface i guess.

SOLUTION 1:

    this._quickPick.onDidChangeValue( (e) => {
      console.log(e);
      console.log(this._quickPick.value);
      this._quickPick.value = "";
      magitCommand();
    });

SOLUTION 2:

   her: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58483907/how-to-add-the-custom-when-clause-in-vs-code

  commands.executeCommand('setContext', 'magit.branching', true);

{
  "command": "extension.magit.branching.checkout",
  "key": "c",
  "when": "inQuickOpen && magit.branching"
}
QuickPick blir da bare en visuell hjelpe-popup!
      da blir den context-aware begrensinger av kommandoer visuell (til å begynne med i hvertfall)
   også for å velge branches og switches etc!

• Helm like branch selector: QuickPick https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#QuickInput

• Name stuff: InputBox e.g window.showInputBox({prompt: "Name of your branch or whatever"});

Languages

• Custom keybindings for buffer: define a language mode
• Syntax
  • Embedded Diff language mode syntax! language mode "diff"
  • Highlight branch names dynamically https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#languages.registerDocumentHighlightProvider

Dispose

• Proper use of dispose() https://vscode-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/extensions/patterns-and-principles/#disposables

  "This applies to event listening, commands, interacting with the UI, and various language contributions."

Notes

• Test on every platform

• VsVim: Needs to work with VsVim as well

• God inspo - REST client mode https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient
