Files that are listed in the recent file list in the File menu often have their file name abbreviated.
e.g. D:\folder\...\folder\file.txt

The full file name should appear in the status bar.

In the dialog you get when you right-click the tool bar, select Customize, and select the Commands tab, add a "Print..." (note the elipsis) to the available tool bar buttons. I like to be able to click the "Print..." button on the tool bar and have the Print dialog appear instead...

Yes! Fantastic suggestion. Too bad there's no poll.

This is a copy of an old topic but with a poll in the correct format. When viewing a file that is frequently updated (e.g. web server log file), TextPad brings up a message box saying, "Another application has updated file <file name> Reload it?" The problem is: When you click No, it appe...

I vote maybe to editing binary files.

I enthusiastically vote yes to switching views between text and binary.

I know what you mean.

The context menu currently looks like this:


The proposed context menu would look like this:

Not just Command Results and Search Results, but I'd like to be able to dock any editor window.

This is a very good idea. But TextPad is a very general purpose text editor. It might be tricky to come up with a method to define what is a "function" in a given language.

I like this suggested implementation. The dialog box would have a check box that says something like, "Do not ask again for this file."

The default hammer with a subscript number is not a satisfactory icon for a button on the toolbar that represents an custom item on the Tools menu.

TextPad needs a way to set a custom icon for these buttons. MS Word has a mechanism to do this.

The clip library needs to allow the original text to appear more than once.

Example

Original text: "Contact" is highlighted.

After applying clip library:

Thank you. That was just what I needed.

Can TextPad be configured to open a file in deny-write mode so that while the file is open, other applications can read the file but cannot write to it?

(For Win32 programmers, this would be accomplished by calling CreateFile without the FILE_SHARE_WRITE parameter.)

When opening an file that takes a long time to load (because it is very large or is over a network connection), TextPad remains unavailable until the file has loaded. Realizing how large the file must be, I will sometimes change my mind about loading it. TextPad needs an option to cancel the opening...
