Adobe Dreamweaver: Ideas

Request to have multiple instances of the 'Files' panel open simultaneously
To have multiple instances of the 'Files' panel open simultaneously would certainly speed up work.
I've got several huge sites with 1000s pages (grown over the years from when DW was part of Macromedia) and endlessly having to scroll up and down the single files panel is so time consuming and irritating.
To have 2 or ideally 3 files panels open, each focusing on separate blocks of files, would certainly speed up work.
Thank you.

copying content copies the wrong line of code
I copy a line of text or code, and then try to paste it. It pastes the line of code that is underneath the line of copied.
Once it starts happening, it does not stop. I have to write the line of code manually to get around it.

Drag and drop from outlook attachment to Dreamweaver
It would be great to be able to drag an attachment from outlook, or other mail program directly into the local view folder of Dreamweaver, without having to go through the process of saving the outlook attachment to a local directory, then refreshing the files in local view before uploading.

Teach DW to follow symlinks (aka macOS aliases or Windows shortcuts)
I used symlinks on my servers to point multiple subdomains to a single library of shared code.
DW does not allow me to duplicate this environment because it doesn't know how to process symlinks among these same sites on my workstation.
This cannot be that hard to implement.

get parameters in server behaviors
In old versions of dreamweaver with server behaviors, when linking to a php file, there was the option to specify the "GET" parameters that we sent to the file. This option disappeared in the current beta versions or the installation of the behaviors as an extension.

Code hint should be able to get list of class's methods that I made
n many case, we have to create classes and methods in JavaScript code. However Dreamweaver does not keep track of JS classes and methods provide we create or provide code hint using our own class names as well as custom created methods. We hope Dreamweaver would be able to do it.
Additionally, jumping to definitions by desired method such as clicking should be also supported.

Need more enhancements for Multiple cursor
Recent days in Japan, multiple cursor seems to become a common feature among the various text editors. This achievement is due to the VSCode. Though Dreamweaver also has the same feature in 2017, further enhancements must be needed.
For example, selects the same words at the cursor and box selection would be essential. The following demo site could be helpful for introducing this features.
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasicsIn additional, Multi Cursor is so useful in Code view and I wish it would be available in Live view and also Design view.
For example, when we have to type a same text on…

Need more editable shortcut keys in code view
While there are many IDEs on the market, there’s no reason to use one if you don’t have to use one. Since then it’s become a question of ‘code speed.’ If I start with a new IDE, I’ll slow down. On an emotional and professional level, I can’t really afford that. It takes energy to pivot to a new editor.
Take Atom, one of the more popular IDEs/editors. Most importantly for users, there is a Vim Mode package. This has led users to literally turn Atom into Vim.
Most IDEs create entire worlds where developers can create, but creating requires…

Content Preview in files panel would be helpful
While finding a desired file in files panel, Dreamweaver could show it within preview window by hitting space bar the same as Finder on macOS which called Quick Looks. Windows build would be also available the same as macOS one.
It would be even better if Dreamweaver could preview not only image files, but also HTML and PHP documents, just like the Finder.

Locate the source file from link in code view
Right-click on the link file in code (src, href, url) , then select "Locate in site/Explorer " from the context. We would be able to access the desired file in Files panel or Explorer.
Web development requires the management of multiple files simultaneously. It makes accessing the files we need much faster.

Adobe DreamWeaver daily projects like Behance does for Photoshop, XD and more
I so wish the Adobe Dreamweaver team would do a constant video training scenario on WordPress and Adobe Dreamweaver, specifically Bitami Wordpres XAMPP and the Worpress Site setup. There are videos and blogs on the subject but they are old. Paul Trani, who I think is awesome did one but it was for MAMPP users and it too is old and kind of brief. I just think you would get a good response if you all did a video series on using WordPress inside of Dreamweaver. Kind of like what the Behance team does for graphics designers. You could do…

Local Files / Usability Concern
The Local Files text above the browser shows that the file tree is for the local files. However, the arrow symbol next to the text is clickable and looks like its function is to switch/download between local and remote files. The original Local View dropdown menu looks similar, so maybe feasible to rather reposition the original Website Name / Local View dropdown menus to more prominently closer to the file tree.

Bring back the ability to justify text with a shortcut like they used to have!
Dreamweaver used to have the ability to justify your text using a shortcut without having to split the screen and code "align" "left" etc. You just had to highlight the text and enter the shortcut. In CC this doesn't exist! Adobe is supposed to make the end user's experience easier not harder with each update!

Strong Coldfusion integration.
Many Coldfusion programmers use Dreamweaver of Coldfusion Builder as their IDE. Tighter Coldfusion integration (like in earlier versions) would be greatly appreciated. Database integration would be amazing!!

If the activity window wouldn't stop updating and would show us continuous useful info...that'd be neat.

Escape: automatically enter (space)/>
DW used to automatically close expressions, and correctly. Now, it doesn't, and that is ridiculous. This request is to make a sensible change to close all breaks, with (space)/> Thank you.

Symbols when coding: popup list of most frequently used
When we are typing test or code in Dreamweaver, and enter a symbol (e.g. &), the entire symbol library pops up, which wastes our time and effort going through it, it often closes and we have to start over, and it takes time to find the right symbol. Why don't you just pop up a list of our most frequently used symbols. For example, I use an ampersand, &, a lot, and it takes way too much time for me to enter those into the code.
