Hi,

In some editors it is possible to select lines by clicking on numbers in ruler area. I was wondering if there is any plan for this feature.

If not is there any easy way to get notified when user click on the ruler. Right now to get the according number I do this:

window.document.
    getElementsByClassName("textviewLeftRuler")[0].
    addEventListener("click", function (event){ 
        var num =  parseInt(event.originalTarget.textContent)
    },true)

You can connect to the rulers onClick event either by dojo.connect() or by replacing to the onClick() function. Take a look at [1] line#590 for an example:

Hi Silenio,

Thanks for the replay.
I thought ruler does not support onClick. Can you explain what the original function does?

What the original function does depends on the type of the ruler. The folding ruler expands/collapses folding annotations when the user clicks them, for example. Note that editor.js also overrides some of the default behaviour defined in rulers.js. See [1] and [2].

The line numbering ruler does nothing currently, but I can see this changing in the future to add/remove breakpoint annotations.

To answer your original question a little better, there is no plans currently to add the select line feature given that it is possible to select the line through other means and we plan to use that gesture to add/remove breakpoints. But again this could be something configurable, so you could open a bug report requesting the feature and we will see what other people think about it.

Is there any way to get the ruler html element ("textviewLeftRuler" for example) through Orion API. I guess to implement this feature I need to have access a few more events like mouse move, ...
I prefer to implement it through JavaScript's addEventListener rather than using dojo.

Sorry, there is no API to get the ruler html element.

Isn't replacing the default onClick() an option? The rulers also have onMouseMove, onMouseDown, etc events.

Maybe the rulers (LineNumberRuler, FoldingRuler, etc) should have the addEventListener API like TextView. That way you would not have to use dojo.

Actually the current event listeners are just enough. I just don't want to replace them with new functions and then call the old ones afterwards. Sometime this can cause unknown behavior.
Anyhow, either a function to get the html element of rulers or addEventListener API for rulers seems the right solution to me.
