WebMatrix Suggestions
We’re looking for your feature ideas to make WebMatrix more awesome! One idea per entry, please.
-
TypeScript intellisense
WebMatrix is great and TypeScript intellisense would make it even better. Coloring is here, but without code completion it hardly can claim TypeScript support.
67 votesWe’re looking into bringing the full experience to WebMatrix, but wanted to just start with syntax highlighting. If there’s enough interest, this is something we could surely do!

right click "format code" and right click "comment/uncomment code" options
this could be easy to implement. another ideas is to allow us to customize right click context menu ourselves.

Remove/Reconfigure source control settings
Once you select a TFS server, for example, BOOM, thats it! Locked in. Cannot undo or change TFS settings for that particular site, even if you blow away the site files, appData, IISExpress settings, etc and try to re-establish the project fresh.
WebMatrix seems to hide the config for this (for everything for that matter, very annoying). UNINSTALL is the only remedy, such that it will finally delete wherever the dang settings are hiding.

TFS configuration cannot see changes of a modified project
If you establish a site (pulled local copy from Azure in my case) and then configure the site to use TFS, it works as expected. If you then delete the local copy, and re-download the same site again, TFS is completely broken. Cannot check files in. "No files to check-in" is all you get. This is permanent and show stopping. Uninstall of WebMatrix and deleting every possible trace of the site in AppData, My Docs, etc, will NOT fix this problem.

TFS bugs galore
With a project connected to TFS
-Add a new file
-Add to source control (dont check in)
-Delete the file
-Check-inError, cannot add the file. No kidding, its not there, and we don't want it added anymore. Congrats, you are now in a stuck loop, as WebMatrix insists that this deleted file is to be added every time you check in.
WebMatrix does NOT respect the actual activity that is going on in the project. TFS integration simply is not ready for prime time. Many issues like this exist.
Here is another:
If you get yourself into a situation…4 votesNo doubt, the work with TFS isn’t 100% there. We’re working through some of these issues, and hope to have an update for the extension.

Copy-paste of table data
It would be nice if we can do copy-paste (or drug and drop) of the table data between two data bases (i.e. sdf files) including the format definition as well the contents. This is usefull when we import the table templates from multiple examples.

One-click Prefix support for CSS
It would be great if I could add prefix easily without typing them all. For example, after writing the CSS in standard form, I will click a button, and all the necessary prefixes will be added to the CSS.

CSScomb
Tool for sorting CSS properties in specific order. Contribute to CSScomb development by creating an account on GitHub.

Auto Recognition of CMS Type on Open as a website in WebMatrix
It would be good if for example i download WordPress, or Joomla or ... have a site that is made in WordPress already for Webmatrix to automatically converts it to WordPress project when i open it so the folders are locked, wordpress intelli sense and all other stuff. This isn't possible with current projects just when you install new one from gallery.

Ecommerce solutions (not NOPcommerce) for gateway/processor would be lovely!
Our company would like to start a small ecommerce solution. Our product line is small so NOPCommerce is overkill. We'd like a solution that can interface with a gateway/payment processor like Braintree. Possible?

Multiscreen support ...
... It's should be great to open files in separated windows.
And opening more than one project during same time.15 votes -
Horizontal Scroll bar for left hand side files tree
I have a site that has folders 4-5 levels deep. it would be good if there is a horizontal scroll bar that allows me to scroll horizontally. I don't always want to decrease my editing area by dragging the splitter to the right.
Thanks,

Installing the iTextSharp extension from within WebMatrix didn't add expected DLL to bin folder
It just seems like a bug, but maybe I am misunderstanding how it is supposed to work.

Better PHP Includes
When you move the top of your php/html document into an include file with <?php include "inc/header.php"; ?>, that include file generates the error "Element 'html' requires end tag.".
It would be nice to detect that it is an include file and not generate those errors.
To give some inspiration, WinLess (or the Mac equivalent Less.app) have smart including for Less files. I believe Web Essentials for VS2012 does that too. It should be possible to do the same in WebMatrix.1 vote -
TFS continuous deployment
Even though you connect to TFS, AND you are using Azure, you cannot do continuous deployment. Azure has the ability to link the site to TFS. It's strange when you link to your TFS and it tells you it will deploy on next check-in. NOPE. Not when you check in to TFS from WebMatrix. No deploy happens. Oops.
