Description James Read 2006-11-26 01:46:06 UTC 
Depending on the file that is in the current tab could depend on the external tools that are available. For example, if I have a .java in the current tab, I have an external tool assigned to "compile java file". However, when I have a .py file in the current tab, the shortcut that is assigned to "compile java file" could be reused for "compile java file". 

This is particularry useful, as I have Ctrl + 1 for a language compiler, Ctrl + 2 for doxygen/javadoc, etc. 

Thank you for taking this into consideration.

Wouldn't it be better to have a "Compile" tool that can handle several mime types at once ?
Comment 2 Paolo Borelli 2006-11-26 11:23:35 UTC 
I think that a "compile tool" it's a good idea, but orthogonal to the request.

Having per-language tools is definately something I would like to see. With the new storage system we should allow a line like:

# langs: c, c++, java

though I am not sure what is the best identifier to use there... the language name as reported by gtksourceview? the mime-type? something else?
Comment 3 Paolo Borelli 2006-12-29 20:12:03 UTC 
actually this request was already files as bug 334964
