Developer functions needed

Hello,

I think FCKEditor is great but I think it's really missing a lot of developer functions. It's kinda hard to have to search through the code, create hacks to get plugins, etc to work. The current API was designed for FCKEditor not for third party use

Maybe you could explain the lots of functions that are missing from the API, I haven't found many problems due to the API, but maybe you have some great ideas about how to code things that will help everyone of us, although I wouldn't like to download a new version of FCKeditor and find that now it's twice the current size because every possible function has been added to the core.

Yeah, I remember that some day I was missing a wrapper to use cookies in order to help the users keep the customizations made in some places, last choosen color and the like. It would be interesting to have an API like FCKstore.Save(key, value) and FCKstore.Get(key, default)

What else did you thought about?

Thing like the ability to easily add context menus for custom made plugins, allow multiple plugins to listen to the same tag (e.g. SPAN), etc

I kinda stop half search for other hacks as it only gives me a headache when trying to figure out why it's so difficult to extend the context menu or allow more than one plugins to be processed when a span or other tag is seleced.
