679643 - When the user presses { or }, GCLI should insert spaces to pad the braces

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools Graveyard :: Graphic Commandline and Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Joe Walker [:jwalker]]

Virtually all coding styles have whitespace surrounding braces, so things obviously 'look' better that way, plus we're training ourselves to think so.

GCLI could automagically make things look better by displaying
> echo {document.title}

More like:
> echo { document.title }

Without requiring the user to enter the extra spaces.

is this still a valid bug? can this bug be used as a project for my school? We need to tackle a bug and submit it then get approved to get full credit. Let me know. Thanks

This is a valid bug, but it's hard, and not something I'd recommend as an easy way to get started. I suggest bug 795847 or bug 803526

Resetting priorities because these P* levels are very out of date.

JS support like this not planned.
