Create File if not existing ...

Hi, I think in earlier versions (I am running 8.11) there was a feature: File -> Open, go to a folder in File selection dialog, then type the name of a file in the filename field, then click open. If the file exists, it is open. And if the file does not exist, there came up the question "Create...

without knowing the macro it's hard to say what goes wrong.

Go to Configure -> Preferences, then Macros, select the macro for your list conversion, and press Edit.

Then copy the stuff from "commands" to here. Preferably in a code block.

Textpad HAS block selection.

Click on one corner.
Press ALT-SHIFT and click other corner.

Alternative:
Configure -> select "Block Select Mode".
Click on one corner
Press SHIFT and click other corner.

Configure -> Preferences -> View -> Tabbed Document Selector -> Stacked

If you remove the check mark, the tabs will stay in one row (with a dropdown at the end which lists all tabs)

Then tabs stay in order if selected.
(at least in 8.8.0)

in a .c file, there is no space to save that information.

Maybe Textpad workspaces can help you?

But my guess is that workspaces store (if at all) the last scroll position, whether you edited at this scroll position or not ...

What do you have selected in the scope section of the replace dialog?
Is it "selected text"?

If so, switch to "active document".
