This sounds very much like the problem here:- http://forums.textpad.com/viewtopic.php?t=9379 Whilst a show-stopping bug like this one is not likely to encourage you to return to TextPad, there are many of us who think it is the best text editor going, so you should give it a chance, in the main it d...

You can't 'fix' this. It's equivalent to starting textpad with a list of files as arguments - of course they will all go to the same instance - the instance instantiated by the single call to textpad.exe. You must either open them one by one, or write a short .bat file to generate a file list and op...

#id and .class? You mean any and all '#id's and '.class'es? If I've understood you correctly, no - it can only recognise keywords, not patterns. If you have common element-ids such as, literally, '#id', then you can add, literally, '#id' (and any others) to the .syn file you downloaded (then close &...

Sorry, it did veer off into what appears to be a bit of a rant, it wasn't meant to be, it was really just describing the experiences I've had that lead me to say, "Don't hold your breath." They work to their own schedule - I have seen Helios themselves say that on previous postings. Actual...

You are unlikely to get a reply from Helios, don't hold your breath.

Why on earth does it not explain in the help for the spell checker, the 'How to Check Spelling' page, that spell checking is disabled for syntax-highlighted documents (yes yes, except comments & strings)? I've just spent about an hour trying to make it work on a syntax-highlighted document. This...

Bob's suggestion will of course work, I've never even noticed the 'Insert Files' before (!) - and wouldn't have thought of Find/BookmarkAll/Invert - my suggestion is somewhat different, so take your pick... Ctrl-F5 / Find in files The results go to the 'Search Results' window - with the advantage th...

Once you've got your cursor position from the status bar, you can CTRL-G to go back to it.

From past experience and responses to other people's posts, in short, No. Version 5 waited an awfully long time to come out; it's my belief that the v5 release date intentionally coincided with the launch of Win Vista, but they never told us that, they just kept us hanging. However, now they HAVE re...

The HTML language is already set up for you when you install TP. CSS is not. If you need CSS to have its own syntax highlighting (I just include mine as part of my javascript 'Document Class'), you need to set up a Document Class especially for it. Configure > Preferences > Document Classes. Then fo...

Sorry, I think you've misunderstood. I think I could achieve what you're saying simply by CTRL-F2 (mark line - not exact cursor position), then F2 to return to the start of that line, which doesn't achieve my aim. Your step2 immediately loses the position along the line from whence the cursor came, ...

I commonly write a bit of code, say a function call, then decide to assign the result to a variable (instead of in-situ) as it will be used a number of times. So I cut the code-snippet to clipboard - here I want to MARK THIS POSITION - go up a line, myvar = <paste-code-snippet>; - now copy the varna...

If this reply isn't way too late for you... I have a TextPad backup script in the event of my hard disk dying which could double as a "Settings export" script. It has in it these commands... REM Hierarchy has been considered here, if get something new with same name REM it will get put in ...

You must set up a 'Tool' under Configure > Preferences. The Tool must call an executable command and 'Capture Output' [an option for the Tool]. Set the 'Regular expression to match output' accordingly for your compiler statements, and select the appropriate 'Register' (the 1st/2nd/etc parenthesised ...
