Actually, this is a very good point. In PHP (and also in many Unix shells) a string such as "x = $x" isn't actutually a constant! Why not? Because the $x inside the quote marks is expanded at the point of execution, and not before. So, if you were to highlight it to reflect actual usage it...

Here's another suggestion. (Could be an option). Instead of organising the files in the document selector in alphabetical order, how about listing them in last-used order (so that the ones you're acutally using all get clumpted together at the top)? This would also work for the files on the Windows ...

Maybe we should have a poll to decide which poll to vote in? :) Jill Still - on the topic of this thread, it remains the case that "natural sorting" is not everyone's cup of tea. For a start, it's a platform dependent thing - implemented on WinXP, but not implemented on Win98. Should TP be...

At the risk of offending loyal fans of Perl, Perl tends to be (in my humble opinion) somewhat unreadable and hard to get to grips with. It's an old language, invented way back when, full of all sorts of archaic constructs. It tends to create "spaghetti code", chock full of punctuation char...

Of course, this would be a lot easier to do if TextPad used Unicode internally!

The oft-used phrase "Bl***y Micr :evil: soft!" springs immediately to mind. Windows Media Player screws everything up. Just don't use it. Seriously though - if you can't reproduce the problem with any app other than WMP, then I would tend to diagnose this as a WMP bug., not a TP bug. Does ...

This is a really good argument for the "Run a tool on a selection" idea. Some external tool would merely have to write the hex value to standard output. Bingo! If used as a "Run a tool on a selection" tool the effect of this would be to insert the hex value at the cursor position...

Whilst wishing no disrespect to a perfectly valid enhancement suggestion, I think it would be worthwhile to point out that there are alternative solutions to this problem which don't involve an upgrade to TextPad. In fact, I don't think it should be TextPad's problem at all, because every program fr...

Very awesome. As a programmer I could customise away to my heart's content, given this enhancement. It is a truly brilliant idea. As a qualifier though, I still believe that the tools list should be dependent upon the document class, otherwise the list will just get too big, cluttered, and error-pro...

Wow! That was something I wouldn't have thought of. (I don't have Word 2003, so I have an excuse). In fairness though, it's not Word's fault. Those are valid characters, and as time goes by, more and more applications are going to be able to handle bidirectional text. It's all part of the continuing...

Wow! Just tried that myself. MudGuard is correct. It's amazing how many amazing extra features this innocent looking editor already has under its hood. Thanks for pointing that out MudGuard. To get it to work, you have to save a workspace (which is where the metadata goes, obviously...). To reload, ...

This would be metadata. Again, various uses have been proposed for such a thing, and there's already a thread on the various strategies of how to store it. Actually, I kinda like this enhancement request. It sounds like it'd be simple to implement, though it would require the use of metadata. Even V...

There have been a number of requests for similar enhancements, including your own "View document tabs for selected documents only" thread. It might be cool to consolidate all these various ideas into one single thread, because some ideas may conflict with others, and poor Helios cannot pos...

Me too.

I stand corrected. :oops: But in the spirit of the original post, I guess what I'd like to see is the ability to have all PHP variable names (words starting with "$") highlighted the same color. Essentially, most people here seem to asking for the ability to color "words starting with...
