One major improvement that hasn't yet been noted: scrolling with the mouse scroll wheel no longer does smooth scrolling, and is therefore much, much faster. This was possibly my biggest gripe. Here's my original post on this from way back in April 2003: http://www.textpad.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t ...

Another note: Let's say I'm on a blank line and I hit tab to indent. Sometimes I tab one too many times, and I want to delete the unwanted spaces back to the previous tab stop, without having to hit Backspace however many times. IndentLess doesn't seem to work for a line with only spaces on it. So ...

Well, I just realized I should really be using the Increase and Reduce Indent commands. What I like about them is that you can be anywhere on the line (not necessarily before the text you want to indent/unindent), and the whole line will move forward or backward one indent. Duh. You can select ...

Thanks, but like I said, I'd like to be able to move back and forth between indentations using only the cursor keys. Also, I'd like to be able to delete only n spaces at a time. I can delete all the spaces to the left or right of the cursor using Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Del, but that's not the ...

Treat groups of n consecutive spaces like a tab?

Hi, I'd like to convert all of my Python code to use 4 spaces instead of tabs (this is good Python coding style). I'll probably do a find & replace on all my Python files, and then I'll set the "convert new tabs to spaces" checkbox for my Python class in Textpad. No problem. The thing is, I like the ...

dandersahn, Yup, that's exactly my experience with Textpad (although I haven't tried 4.7.2 yet). Couldn't have said it any better. Surely there must be other people out there experiencing the same thing. What is it about our configs that we have in common? Maybe I always set some arcane option in ...

Martin, (snip) Perhaps this is an issue with the Athlon 700. Try adding TextPad to the list of programs on Mouse Properties/Wheel/Troubleshooter/Advanced. Keith MacDonald Helios Software Solutions Keith, like I said before, I've seen this problem on a whole bunch of different systems, both Intel ...
