- What should be added:
-
- * insert mode in field editing. The original idea is that
- most of the fields should be short and there is no need to
- duplicate editor function in sf. For novice user, they dont
- know fancy commands anyway; for expert user, sf is useful
- only in special occasion. This delayed the addition of
- extra editing function (insert mode, delete word, move by
- word, etc).
-
- What should not be added:
-
- * Database function: I could not think of an easy way so that
- sf can read standard Unix database files like /etc/passwd,
- /etc/ttys, any idea? It will be good to have these
- functions, but again, it violate Unix principle: "doing just
- one thing".
-
- Something to think about:
-
- * scroll region
- * multiple forms, chaining to different form files.
- * range checking.
- * pipe field data to Unix program and put result back.
