@Dan suggested that I make a thread to keep this list of things missing from GMS1 > GMS2 in one place. I've also filed a helpdesk ticket with the list, but I thought a thread might be a good idea as well, so that the community can add if there's anything I've missed. Most of these are QOL features that I and others are missing dearly in everyday use, from small things to bigger things.
Let me know if anything needs to be added. Please note, the idea is not to suggest new features, these are all features that we had in GMS1, but that were not carried over into GMS2, which we would like to have back.
1: Ignore comments when searching through project
2: "Check references" on resources
3: Import multiple resources in one go
4: Delete instances from room editor without using keyboard (used to be able to do this with simply a right click)
5: Can no longer scroll from cursor position in code editor by doing ctrl+arrow up/down. Have to scroll with mouse or move cursor all the way to top/bottom with arrows
6: Can no longer drag a single code editor window to another monitor without it having the entire "app" wrapper - title bar and everything, taking up way more screen space then necessary
7: Can no longer import a single image into an existing sprite without replacing every image
8: Lots of sprite editor features missing like "Shrink" and "Grow" and "Morph"
9: Sprite editor no longer shows memory usage anywhere
10: Pressing Ctrl+F in a code window makes the workspace "pan" around, messing up the workspace position I've manually set
11: Searching through documentation (Ctrl+F): results won't be highlighted because they're hidden away in folds (not the case in GMS1)
