There is no such thing as an ANSI value. If your character codepoint is between 0x00 and 0x7F then it has an ASCII value. Above that, it has a value in the current Windows codepage, and a (possibly different) value in Unicode (aka ISO-IEC 10646). (I know I'm being overly pedantic, but there's too mu...

Just looked at D myself. It looks pretty amazing. One thing I noticed was that D uses Unicode source files, allows Unicode identifiers and so on. This is a brilliant advancement, as there is no doubt that Unicode is the future. This observation does, however, bring us back to TextPad's poor performa...

I would prefer simply replacing "Print" with "Print...". That way you'd get a dialog, and an option to hit "Cancel".

Actually, yes, this would be surprisingly good.

Of course, we can all survive without it. But it's one of those timesaver things that's just really neat. I like it.

If an application has an icon, Textpad could use that icon for that tool.

If an appication doesn't have an icon, however, (a batch file, for example), then it's difficult to see where that icon could come from. Not all text editor users are au fait with creating ".ico" files.

Whoa! I spoke without checking there. It seems you are right. I withdraw my comment. In that case, this is a good idea.

Sorry for posting without thinking.

I don't think it's possible to implement this suggestion at all.

What happens when a pointer hovers over a menu item is Windows' business, not an application's, surely?

Microsoft Word does have this, and it's a pain in the A to use. The feature sounds, good - I can't knock it as an idea - but play with Word to see how it SHOULDN'T be done. This is an awful user interface.

How?

This is metadata. Metadata needs to be stored somewhere. Pretty much everyone on this forum seems to be of the opinion that the workspace is the correct place for metadata.

I presume you mean filenames IN QUOTES, separated by space, to allow for the possibility of pathnames containing spaces, such as "My Documents/..."

You're talking about smart indentation, aren't you? Presumably this could be done just by considering braces ({ and }). You wouldn't also need to consider keywords - at least, not in C++. (Python is another matter). I haven't voted yet, because I haven't properly understood what you want. May I assu...

Because this is a text editor.

When I edit an arbitrary and randomly selected file, I don't want extra files being created all over the place that I didn't order.

Nah - the existing "Save Workspace" idea is fine by me.

If you can't read the filenames, the ENTIRE document selector is wasting screen space. If the addition of a scrollbar should make it more useable then you won't see me complaining.

It already does, surely, in the sense that EVERYTHING integrates seamlessly with CVS. I use CVS all the time in conjunction with TextPad (and also in conjunction with lots of other programs too, but we won't go into that on this forum). The most seamless integration I have encountered so far is call...
