Dear Arduino Wizards,
Your platform is sweet. Here is a revised wish list.
IDE (Processing) REQUESTS:
- ALT keys to access menus:
(Alt-f file, Alt-s save, Alt-x quit, Alt-k to compile and upload to device (all in one command)) - F3 'find next' (vs. CTRL-F, etc) would be great
- Find dialog to have memory of multiple past searches (arrow down in a listbox style)
- Find dialog option to 'find in project' (not just the current window)
- Autocomplete
- Autosave
- Auto increment build number variable on compile or upload
- Bigger tabs (TAB = 4 or 5 chars wide)
- Help / "Hardware Interfacing" opens a local copy of all the files under Arduino Playground - InterfacingWithHardware
- Bug: Disable save while compiling (right now it causes a compile error but not right away)
- Bug: Disable upload while compiling (right now it causes a compile error but not right away)
- Bug: quitting a processing window while another is compiling causes the compile to fail (shared temp directory maybe? idk)
DOCUMENTATION:
- Quick reference to pinouts & common ports used with arduino (eg: sensor shields, 3-pin sensor shields, I2C, etc..)
- As mentioned above, a local copy of of all the hardware interfacing documentation
- All library docs in local browsable html (some are external)
- Bug: Docs for round() function is missing
LANGUAGE REQUESTS:
-
Extended trigonometry library (tan, atan, etc..)
-
OTHER STUFF:
-
Consider making the Time library standard equipment
Keep up the good work!

I just lost 2hrs of work.. and quite angry about myself.. forgetting to save manually...
