[Feature] Add more languages

[sskieller]

Hello, is it possible to add the following languages as well:

• Python

• Batch

• SAS

• STP (Stored Procedure, fx MSSQLSTP)

• CMD (Command Prompt)

• PS (PowerShell)

• SCD (SimCorp Dimension)

• VB (Visual Basic)

• DLL

• Also just a Rich Text Editor:

Added separate [Feature] request for the Rich Text Editor #30

[huntercfreeman]

Plan for this feature:

As per #27 adding more languages seems as though it would be a matter of referencing separate NuGet Packages as per one's language needs.

[sskieller]

I agree, that would be better, but also lazy-loading? Because what if I need to be able to use all the languages, but its up to the user to choose the language and then load the language package?

[huntercfreeman]

I like the lazy-loading idea I'm going to look into that

[sskieller]

Maybe be able to set a default that will be fetched on load and then possible to logically set the default depending on some type. So if the user picks a it starts with x and if the user picks b it starts with y.
And then you can have a switch where new languages can be loaded like above.

This could maybe be used?

Yeah, the link you gave appears to be how the lazy loading would be implemented. Thanks for the link.

I am currently working on two new git branches:
v5.3.0
or
v6.0.0

I believe I will be going the route of v6.0.0 as I believe a lot of issues would be solved by changing how the Text Editor is architected a bit. As well a lot of features would be possible by doing this. I'll be changing the API so I'll increment the major version if I go this way.

[sskieller]

Seems like a good idea.

For now, I could start using this for a proper project with the Rich Text Editor in place, but the languages above are definitely high on the wish list for further use.

[huntercfreeman]

Ah thanks for the use case info. I'll see if I can prioritize a Rich Text Editor being finished for the next update. I suppose a lot of others would like that as well.
