This is a problem for me, too. The delete duplicate lines checkbox always stuck before version 7.2, and now it always reverts to unchecked after TextPad closes. I also do not see any string called "DeleteDups" in the xml file, nor any section called <Sort> I took a chance and added this te...

You can have tabs and newlines in your find-what text!

I just learned that I can paste literal paragraphs into the find-what field, and don't have to write all the \t and \n-s.

Took me this long to figure it out :)

Goodness. My brain was fried last night. Of course.

I honestly think there's still something funky related to accents in regexes going on, as I was doing other related work last night, but of course that word boundary is in the wrong place.

Thanks!

Regex replacement bug with accent char? (v7.1.0)

Could someone please try this regex replacement, and tell me if they have success? Take this paragraph: The value of each position is retrieved by `pos.getValue()` or `pos.isPath()`--I think `1` is a "wall" and `0` is the "path". (As an aside: The huge 2d-array should really cont...

Configure>Preferences>Keyboard>View>ViewProperties opens the document properties dialog. I need to be able to get to the "Tabulation" tab with the keyboard only, but I don't see any "accelerator keys" (such as "&F" for the File menu, meaning Alt+F). Unfortunately, ...

How to replace 1st four spaces ONLY in each line w/ nothing?

I have some java source code that is indented with spaces. But before EVERY line, there are four additional spaces (this is the format required by stackoverflow, in order to post code, so it actually displays like code). /** <P>A function.</P> **/ public void myFunction() { for(...) { ... } I am try...

Dramatically increase maximum number of macros

I don't know if this has ever explicitly been requested.

Please consider dramatically increasing the maximum number of macros one can create in TextPad. I have always wondered the reasoning behind having only 64.

Thank you for considering. For me this is my single biggest wish.

Resave currently opened file when renamed via Manage Files

I'd like to suggest that, when renaming the current file, via File > Manage Files > Rename that there be an option to move the currently active document immediately "to" it. Currently you must rename the file, and then save the current document AS that new file name. I would personally use...

That's true. TextPad uses tabs to make sure the text is just where you put it.

I personally select the text and replace \t with [3 spaces] when I don't want the tabs to remain. I need to tweak it after that, though, since it's never perfectly aligned.

I personally consider three spaces equivalent to a tab. But it's whatever you want it to be.

It is especially a pain, because doing much of anything related to editing macros causes ALL your macro key-commands to go kablooey. Consider using an external macro editor, like PhraseExpress or Macro Scheduler. Also consider my project which, although it doesn't have explicit TextPad macro-creatio...
