Gettin' my hands dirty (was: Midas, Composer)

i'm also wondering if there's some
link between composer module and midas. there *should* be really. the
purpose of the two modules substantially is the same.

it's the same codebase, as far as i know (http://www.mozilla.org/editor/
implies this).

nice link, i'm reading "How the Editor Works" the whole
picture it is much clearer now.

from what i've read so far i could try to instatiate
nsEditorShell via JS and see what happens. i only briefly
read bitflux sources (there're tons of JS code to review :)
but maybe you have done the same.

have u used any built-in XPCOM objects to manage source editing? if
midas is too restricted for bitflux purposes maybe a lower level
approach would fit everyone needs.

i have to try this.

later,
