The new editor mode shares the same Scintilla widget as the JSON mode.
The JsonTextEdit class has been generalised. Future modes supported by
Scintilla could be added with the current pattern. As a consequence, the
EditMode is not always equal to the current stacked widget.
Some code in EditDialog has been refactored, so it is easier to understand
and modified with so many modes. textNullSet has been replaced by the use
of dataType as Null.
SVG is promoted to a new recognised data type, so it can be edited in the
XML mode.
The XML data is formatted and validated following the pattern established
by the JSON mode.
New modules are needed by the XML mode: the Qt XML module and some new
Scintilla files required by the HTML/XML lexer.
The indent_compact was incorrectly named in Setting::getDefaultValue.
See issue #1253.
This is a first rough implementation of QScintilla support as SQL text
editor.
It should work mostly and build fine with qmake as well as cmake. The
new code supports all the features of the old one plus adding a few
subtle improvements. The main point of this, however, is reducing the
code we have to maintain and making it easier to add new features to the
editor.
