I actually prefer the way it works at the moment. However, I agree it would be nice to have the option, e.g., similar to Firefox's Tab Mix Plus add-on where you can set TMP's Ctrl+Tab to work either in the way you guys desire or in TextPad's way.

Incremental find. What purpose does it serve? This was a much-requested feature in these forums. It speeds up searching as you don't need to wait until you've finish typing before bringing up a dialog box and clicking Find. Most web browsers now have it (IE is an exception). Notepad++ has it.

I guess in TextPad this would be the equivalent of applying the document class settings without first having...

Which features in version 5 did you initially find disappointing?

The new UI is essentially a copy of the Visual Studio IDE. In it you can have either tabs or cascading windows but not both. The best workaround is to use the Tab Groups feature that they've just added. When I first used the new Visual Studio .NET IDEs after moving from VC++ 6 I too disliked the eit...

Yes, add me too.

Add me to the requests for this feature.
