Go To Definition on JavaScript file, CSS rules
add support for "Go To Definition" on JavaScript functions across multiple files (for example: into jQuery functions), CSS rules

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.
64 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!

Refactoring: Update variable name
(ported from Connect)
In Visual Studio 2010 When selecting a variable by the cursor, all presence of this variable is highlighted in the file. And when the we try to change a variable or function name, Visual Studio prompts the user to update the name of all matching variable in the file.
is there any possibility to add these two functions??

A menu option/status bar button to convert between encodings a la Notepad++
At least, between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8, but every supported encoding by Windows is preferred

Custom PHP function access
Hi, I have installed webMatrix 2. and made wordpress website. I made a custom php function e.g. myfunc($var,$var2) in php file. When I write function name in another PHP to call it it does not show any code intelliSense. it must show that myfunc($var,$var2) consider tow variables. Why Microsoft doesn't take intellisense architecture from NetBeans and do the right stuff.

Auto complete/suggest image src path, classes, and more
It would be nice to have WebMatrix completing image source paths, classes, etc.
Image source path: example
typing: <img src="/"
then
automato complete suggesses folder <img src="/images/ "
suggestions files in folder: /images/1.jpg, /images/2.jpg, /images/cat.png, etc..
Classes: example
typing: $ig = new
then
automato complete suggesses: $ig = new index1, $ig = new dbsel, $ig = new jumpline, etc..
Also, typing: $ig->
then
automato complete suggestions: $ig->goDate(), $ig->ticketSell(), $ig->FlightTime(), etc..

Fully support .SCSS (Sassy SASS)
Bring full support for .scss files. At this moment it is treated as a plain text file. I think support should have been included by default (why support .sass and not .scss is beyond my understanding), especially when WebMatrix2 lets you create .scss files by default.

Support for PHP frameworks like cake and symfony
Is it possible for us to get mvc3 c# like approach for php development? Something similar what we have in netbeans.
13 votesPHP supports many frameworks that let you use an MVC style architecture. Just a few examples are:
http://cakephp.org/
http://www.symfony-project.org/
http://www.yiiframework.com/We could add tooling to better enable using these frameworks.

Bug: PHP Syntax highlighting fails with heredoc and xml
$xml = <<<EOL
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
EOL;This breaks syntax highlighting, because the editor thinks ?> is the closing tag of <?php ?>.

Improve error reporting so it becomes useful for the WebMatrix target audience
So, WebMatrix is targeted to aspiring coders, right. And you did a nice job to to make that possible. Everywhere, except error reporting!
Error reporting is not at all helpfull, unless of course I would have constant access to a few people that have extensive experience programming in the Microsoft world.

Fix errors with searching. Searching across site never finds results in other pages.
Searching for text on other pages almost never works. I can search for a term I'm staring at on the current page, and nothing appears in the Find Results. And many times when I hit CTRL-F, the find box appears but focus isn't set to it and I start typing the search text into the current document.

Double clicking PHP variables
When editing a PHP file it would be nice to be able to double click on the variable names and the editor highlights the variable name INCLUDING the $ symbol.
5 votesgreat idea!

Listing defined functions.
This is a simple idea. While going through a long .php file (for example) with many built-in functions, it's difficult to scroll and look around functions included. Hence, it would be much faster and user friendly approach if we can just see them on the right side all the functions listed. This would enable us to see used functions in that .php file, and also to use them where necessary in following .php files. Please consider this.
