Just because we're entertaining this idea:
How about inserting the closing "]" as soon as one types the opening
"[" in the context of a binding value? On a related note, I wish
eclipse would behave more like TextMate which always does the Right
Things e.g. surrounding the selection with the opening char and
corresponding closing char when one type a opening char type with some
text selected.
* even Apple doesn't use [xxx] syntax for cocoa bindings OR ObjC
2.0 properties (which were designed to look like bindings), though
admittedly they don't use $ either, but they EXPLICITLY did not use
[xxx] markup
Sure looks nicer too. Still I'm one of the weirdos who likes the [obj
msg] syntax because to me it makes it clear that I'm sending messages
(as opposed to, say, "calling" a method).
* $xxx is the standard inline markup of just about every template
language, which, for one, also makes it consistent with the
velocity templates that we use other places inside of WOLips
Which makes also most templating languages consistently ugly :-)...
And you can set the WebObjects 5.4 inline bindings to use the $
style too. So this is currently the one working on both systems.
Yep, I noticed that, that's why I thought that maybe woognl offered
the same functionality. I guess that would past the compatibility path
ugly as it is :-)
