## Priority Issues Found

### Critical (Breaks Feature Parity)
1. ✅ **FIXED: Web UI: Missing keyboard shortcuts** - **COMPLETED 2025-10-26**
   - File: web_ui.py
   - Implemented: Ctrl+B, Ctrl+E, Ctrl+N, Ctrl+O, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+K
   - Added `_setup_keyboard_shortcuts()` method with ui.keyboard() handler
   - All major shortcuts now work in Web UI!

2. ⚠️ **Web UI: Current line highlight missing** - Should show which line cursor is on
   - File: web_ui.py
   - Research: How to highlight current line in textarea
   - Status: Remains a limitation of textarea component

### High Priority (Useful Features)
3. ✅ **DONE: All UIs: Recent files list** - **COMPLETED 2025-10-27**
   - Files: src/ui/recent_files.py (shared), tk_ui.py, curses_ui.py, web_ui.py
   - Status: Tracks last 10 files in ~/.mbasic/recent_files.json
   - Implementation: Submenu (Tk), Ctrl+Shift+O dialog (Curses), File menu (Web)

4. ❌ **All UIs: No auto-save** - **HIGH PRIORITY** - Risk of losing work
   - Files: All UI files
   - Implement: Periodic auto-save to temp file (~/.mbasic/autosave/)

5. ✅ **DONE: All UIs: Variable search/filter** - **COMPLETED 2025-10-27**
   - Files: tk_ui.py, curses_ui.py, web_ui.py
   - Implementation: Real-time filter on name, value, type
   - Tk/Web: Input field with instant feedback. Curses: 'f' key dialog

### Medium Priority (Nice to Have)
6. ❌ **All UIs: No syntax highlighting** - Would improve readability
   - Files: All editor components
   - Future: Color-code keywords, strings, numbers

7. ❌ **All UIs: No layout persistence** - Window positions not remembered
   - Files: All UI files
   - Implement: Save/restore window sizes and positions

8. ❌ **Tk/Web: No dark mode** - Eye strain for some users
   - Files: tk_ui.py, web_ui.py
   - Implement: Theme system

## Action Items

1. ✅ **DONE: Add error markers to Tk and Web UIs** (Completed 2025-10-26)
2. ✅ **DONE: Add statement highlighting to all UIs** (Completed 2025-10-26)
3. ✅ **DONE: Add missing keyboard shortcuts to Web UI** (Completed 2025-10-26)
4. 🔧 **TODO: Implement current line highlight in Web UI** (Limitation: textarea component)
5. ✅ **DONE: Add recent files list to all UIs** (Completed 2025-10-27)
6. 📝 **TODO: Implement auto-save functionality**
7. ✅ **DONE: Enhance variable search/filter** (Completed 2025-10-27)
8. 🎯 **FUTURE: Full syntax highlighting**
9. 🎯 **FUTURE: Layout persistence**
10. 🎯 **FUTURE: Theme/dark mode support**
