We’re looking for your feature ideas to make WebMatrix more awesome! One idea per entry, please.

To make WebMatrix better, I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

Quick Lorem Ipsum generator

Quick Lorem Ipsum generator.
As a designer you probably know about Lorem Ipsum. For those who don't, Lorem Ipsum is a huge latin text which can be used as dummy text in projects.
So no more browser now all in you IDE

Customisable Syntax Formatting

We already have the fantastic formatting with Ctrl+K,Ctrl+D and "quote, bracket, brace" auto-closing.

What I would love to see is more control over specific formatting, like braces on new lines when creating a new function and a separate one for statements (if, else, select, try, catch etc.) and options such as Ctrl+K,Ctrl+D formatting removing double line-spacing or trailing/redundant white-space

To be clear on the exact intent I've included examples below.

New line function brace - disabled:
function doSomething()
{
//do something
}

New line function brace - enabled:
function doSomething(){
//do something
}

New line function brace - enabled
New line statement brace - disabled:
function doSomething()
{
if(somethingTrue){
//do something
} else {
//else do something different
}
}

New line function brace - enabled
New line statement brace - enabled:
function doSomething()
{
if(somethingTrue)
{
//do something
}
else
{
//else do something different
}
}

Sand box release site

Love the platform, it has room for improvement but excellent concept and good execution so far.

Could you please add a second ftp publishing option (destination), ie for sandbox or beta releases.
So there would be two options when publishing, either to the beta test site or the application live site.

Also, add macro buttons which simply execute batch files.
Currently we use batch files to compile other applications into the one site (and to do our sand box publishing), this is due to the complexity of our project. It would be great if we could essentially have 'custom' buttons in the WebMatrix GUI.

Support MySQL 5.6

I request to add support for other versions of MySQL too, such as MySQL 5.5/5.6 because availablity of support for any MySQL 5.1 forces WebMatrix users to stick with MySQL 5.1

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.

We’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!
Pressing tab key does not should delete paragraph

Pressing tab key when we have a selected paragraph it deletes the text when it should give the indenting.

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.

Grouping erroneous elements (code php within html comments)

Commenting on a line of html that contains php IDE groups not well code blocks.

Make it understand that the ternary operator in javascript is not a syntax error

var str = (something==true) ? "cat" : "dog";
This is legal javascript, but webmatrix sees it as an error.

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.

Memory leak

Please its version 3 and the Memory Leak on large files is still affecting performance.
It's not fun having to wait 3 to 30 seconds for nothing!
