See the gedit class diagram at:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit/DevNotes

LaTeXila had more or less the same problems as your IDE, see:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/LaTeXila/DevelopmentIdeas

The plan is to make the gedit source code more reusable, to be able to
create specialized text editors and IDEs based on GtkSourceView. All the
gedit code can not go in gsv, so a git submodule can also be created,
like the libgd.

Developing a good text editor part of an IDE based on GtkSourceView
still requires a lot of work. A better idea for the long term is to help
making the gedit source code more reusable, so it benefits also other
applications. If you want to help, you are more than welcome ;)

Hi Sébastien. Thank you for the answer and for the invitation : )

Now I am dedicating my free time on this project. It is just a matter of porting

from KDE3 to GTK and replacing the text editor as well. The entire structure

of the software is already there and does not need to be changed. I will be using

GtkSourceView for the moment, at least I will gain some experience before getting

more involved in more "serious development". See it as a warm up ; )  Then I will

be glad to contribute to the gnome project around gedit.

Ciao

Alessandro

 

Best regards,
Sébastien
