Hello,

could it be possible to envision having a configurable layout editor?

The wish is to be able to add new user defined controls with their own configuration without needing to recompile ide per package base. Then it would be easy creating a control database.

Using a script language or metamodel definition file (Esc if it can, or XML, or Lua) to generically configure the editor with describing control parameters, preview and code generation would be a big improvement.

I know this is maybe a major redesign of the layout editor, but it shall after reduce quite a lot its maintenance.
