Alternate editors

Unfortunately it's not possible in IDEA 3.0. We will be adding this support
for the next version.

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to replace the editor window for certain
filetypes. This could for instance be used to write a plugin for doing
simple
image manipulation and editing.

I know I can add a item when right-clicking
the file and make that menuitem popup a new window (or toolwindow) where I
can put my imageeditor. However it would be nice if I could show the
imageeditor
instead of the default texteditor because for instance I still want to be
able to
use the tabs for switching between files.

I'd certainly love to see a Jython editor as an option. Currently I'm using
ActiveState's PythonWin as an editor, but I'd much rather see this
functionality folded into IDEA.

Will this support be through the OpenAPI? It would be cool to be able to
right a plugin to handle syntax highlighting, etc. for any language.

Sure, internally we have that support :)

An orthogonal request is:

"Allow for multiple views of the same file"
