That makes a lot of sense actually. Software releases are so difficult in terms of making people happy. They're either too frequent or not frequent enough. Even updates/patches are that way. No two people can agree on what a "reasonable" interval is.

I feel like I'm in the movie "Cinderella Man", cheering my editor on as he's having a bit of a tough time in the ring. "C'mon! Get up!" Oh, in case I forgot to grovel enough: If there's a need for alpha or beta testers - pick me! pick me! I test products all the time and am very ...

Thanks, that sort of calms me down, kind of. I would still prefer to see some teaser statement to the effect "it's coming!", let alone some rough date. Not even *really* knowing *if* it's coming is the most painful aspect for me. For what it's worth, I'm always trying out other editors. Th...

The most recent "Announcement" is dated 2004. Is this the end for TextPad? Will a 5.0 ever be released? I love this editor and really would like to pin my future on it if it will continue to evolve and improve. It seems like other editors are putting out more frequent updates and adapting ...

Download the "autolisp2000.syn" syntax file instead. I believe it works better at recognizing AutoLISP/VisualLISP files than the default "autolisp.syn" file does.

Intellisense popup auto-completion, with customizable dictionary files to control the auto-completion lists. A GUI editor for these new dictionary files. A GUI editor for building .syn files, might help to avoid accidental duplicate entries under separate keyword headings Copy and paste key/value na...

It seems like an awfully long time since an update has been released. Any word on forthcoming updates or new releases?

I just realized that the syntax file wouldn't suffice as it doesn't provide support for specifying arguments or argument descriptions. This would probably require a new supporting file type for autocompletion. All whining aside, I have to say that I've used dozens of editors for coding in all the la...

This may have been requested by others already (I didn't see it from a cursory search). It would be nice to have a document-class related autocomplete feature that could tie into the syntax files for the list of words/names to display. An in-place popup list would be ideal, if that's possible and no...

I'd love to see a small, simple, UI-form for building keyword sections and adding/editing/removing keywords beneath each. It should also be able to identify duplicate entries (same keyword under two or more keyword sections) and so forth. Editing the raw syntax file is nice, but it leaves the door o...

It would be nice to have an option to configure the document class to automatically load/display a specified snippet library as you change between documents. I typically work on ASP, VBS, JS and LISP documents and I have to keep changing the snippet book each time, which is a real pain and slows me ...
