File

  • new tab.

  • switch between file and BUILD/Makefile.

Editing

  • delete line.
  • clear the line and put the cursor where the line began.

Pipe dreams

  • auto-complete based on understanding of code (methods this class has, etc).
  • comments wrap and continue onto the next line. Pressing a double-return will end the comment (can this be done with snippets?).
  • Joining lines handles comments; deleting the characters where each line begins with "//" or "*".
