Feature wishlist

Originally compiled from this discussion.

Most desired features may be implemented as Lighttable plugins. Althought some facilities require LT's core modification or adding hook into LT's core.

General

• Console plugin
• Git plugin (like magit?). <discussion>
  • Reuse some code from ungit project?
• Keyboard based directory browser (like dired in Emacs)
• Remote browsing/editing over SSH (like Emacs tramp)
• A SQL plugin for interacting with databases
• JsLint and JsMin <discussion> (why not JSHint?)
• MDN deffiniton lookup (general documentation lookup plugin?)
• Theme editor
• Checkers/hinters for supported languages. Something like flycheck? General linting plugin with hooks in language modes?
• Paredit-like functionality for supported languages (select syntax form, expand selecton)
• Macroses (the ability to store the sequence of keystokes, replay it and, may be, save it as ClojureScript code)
• Bookmark facility (the ability to bookmark a line in a file and save it in a workspace)
• Merge mode (merging/diffing files inside LT)
• Editorconfig plugin
