I do really recommend working with a proper IDE, especially when you are going to invest "hours of work" in solving of "complex problems".
Honestly, I cannot even imagine working on a challenging kata without proper syntax highlighting, syntax checking, helpful editor features, and step by step debugging. It's really worth it.

Well, I in fact had not run the code yet as I knew it wasn't ready, and I suppose I'm not the only one who does so when solving complex problems. That said, the knowledge that the code is only saved upon testing/attempting can not be expected from an user. Thus, I suggest a periodical, more reliable saving mechanism.

Furthermore, I'll be more carefull from now on and hit Test prematurelly just for the purpose of saving my code. Thank you for the instructions.

Hi,

• replace: ctrl+H
• saving: if you run the code against the example tests or the full test (respectively test/attempt), your code is saved (to the condition the code doesn't result in raising an exception).
• ctrl+S: run example tests
• ctrl+enter: attempt

Shouldn't the code I'm writing for a kata be saved, at least, periodically?

I was solving a problem using the website's IDE and decided to exchange a function name for a more meaningfull one. Since it was already being called multiple times throughout the code, I decided to try and automatically replace it. By pressing CTRL+F, I was shown an in-built "Find" tool, with no replacing option though. Then, as a fool, I pressed CTRL+R in hope that a similar tool for Replacing would show. Instead, my browser refreshed and I lost about an hours work... Since the UI has no apparent "Save" button, I expected my code to be persistent to at least some degree.

Feature Requests

To request or vote on new features please visit our Github Issues.

NOTE

The comments below used to be the mechanism for requesting new features. These are being left for now so that they can still be accessed, but any new >ideas should be added to Github.

Writing it here is useless.

The first point is already here: https://github.com/codewars/codewars.com/issues/1398
For the other one, one can only hope, or you can translate some katas to Perl (or create new ones).

2 Feature Requests:

1. Uploading a custom profile picture (independent from other accounts like Github or Facebook)
2. More Katas in Perl would be nice :)

that's too bad.

Unfortunately, not.

Is there any way to submit/delete unfinished katas that have been retired?
