Re: Version 9 -- Feedback
I haven't studied version 9 to the depth you have, but I agree that the colours aren't ideal. Neither the light nor the dark theme supports my eyes. I have many overlapping document windows open, and I need to be able to see at a glance which is the active document. I find this difficult with versio...

Re: Recent files >16
I have now have all of the TWS files in a single directory. Since the files seem to contain relative file paths, they needed to be individually loaded and re-saved rather than just moved across. You just need to save the workspace into the new location. For any file not in (or below?) the directory...

Re: Recent files >16
Here's a Python script that outputs the names of the document files in a workspace file. It handles both very old-style (TextPad version < 7) ASCII workspace files and newer UTF-16 ones. (Note: workspace version numbers are not the same as TextPad version numbers.) If you happen to have Python (3) i...

Re: Recent files >16
I also would like longer lists. However, I always use workspaces and I don't have much need for the recently-used document file list. As for workspaces (I have far more than 50 of them), I keep them all in a single directory, d:\t . I can list them at the command line by entering dir d:\t , or get W...

Re: Reload Last Workspace Not Working
Do you mean the option Configure | Preferences | General | Reload last workspace at startup ?
Agreed. It doesn't work (18.8.0) here either.

Re: Command — Strip trailing spaces
When you create a macro it automatically becomes available as a menu command. And you can give it whatever keyboard shortcut you please.

Re: Search Results highlighting is invisible
AmigoJack inadvertently sent you to the wrong setting, so you set the colours for the Search Results window, not for any document window.
Set them instead for the appropriate document class or classes.

Re: Macros Broken
BTW, I'm using TextPad version 8.16.1. I changed the scope of my macro to Selection. Then if there is no selection when I run it, it doesn't do anything at all (and no action that can be undone is recorded). And if there is a selection when I run it, it does something that is only vaguely like what ...

Re: Macros Broken
I was going to post something similar. Here is a macro to open a line at the current cursor position. If the cursor is placed before the second "stuff" in the text stuff_before_cursor stuff_after_cursor then running the macro should change the text to stuff_before_cursor stuff_after_cursor...
