Bespin Multi-line Revisited: BUG#557135
Well before I get straight to the multi-line stuff, let me mention a few bugs I encountered while working on this feature.
1.) Undo/Redo did not work properly with multi-line indent. Each indent on a line was treated as a separate change where as in the whole indent should be grouped into one undo event. Julian is aware of this now. I might know how to fix this so If I do come across a fix I...

Bespin Multi-line Indent
Schools just a week away from finishing and I have been working on Bespin. In my previous post I was able to get indent working on a selected piece of text. Now Julian had suggested that I change the code so that it would work on multiple lines.

I started my work in the textview.js ; Where the code would belong for this type of action. I Looked for the...

This is my proposed prototype of processing.js IDE designed in Adobe Photoshop. The name “I Draw” I choose this since its self explanatory and defines what the purpose of this IDE is. The buttons on the top right ”Examples” “My Files” “Reference” “Help” are grouped together because it distinguishes them from the actual editor and its...
