Repeat last annotation

[bjthehun]

Sometimes, I encounter multiple mistakes of the same type repeatedly in a source file. For those, I can repeat both the mistake time and custom message.

Right now, I need to click on the annotation type, then double-click on the comment, then copy over or retype the message. I want to do that in only one step.

Instead of only repeating the last annotation, how about combining this with #26? In addition to being able to create custom buttons, the tool will automatically keep track of the last X custom annotations that have been made. For each it will create a temporary custom button. The oldest custom button will vanish, when more than X have been created. Pressing a button will move it to the beginning, so frequently used custom buttons don't disappear.

In addition to that, one can right-click the button and make it a permanent custom button that will not disappear. To do that, one would have to give it a short name.

Why the limit? There is only a limited amount of visible space for buttons.

Some things to consider

• Autograder Annotations should be ignored
• Annotations created through existing custom buttons should be ignored
• Ignore duplicate custom annotations
• Maybe make X dynamic, depending on how much space is available? (Might be too complicated)
• Preserve them across submissions?
