If you want to investigate you can find ConfigState.xml in your folder %appdata%\Helios\TextPad\8 (just paste that directly into the File Explorer's path line - it should become something like C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Helios\TextPad\8 ) and sense that under <Document-Classes> each occurance o...

Re: Question about Moving to the Start of a Line

I've tried going into Preferences / Keyboard, and assigning "HOME" alternatively to LineLeft and LineStart (for others: in the Category "Cursor") For me the command "LineStart" is assigned with the Home key and it works as intended: the text cursor is moved to the firs...

Manipulating my file to have 2 lines with ~4000 characters (and also matches in there to be replaced) took only a little bit longer, but still finished as expected. So maybe it's not about a big filesize, maybe it's only about long lines...?

That's not a TextPad issue anymore. &amp; must always be used over & because otherwise your *ML is just invalid - no matter what web browsers (in case of HTML or XHTML) will make out of it. You can always check your whole file with https://validator.w3.org/ &quot; and & apos; must be...

I fully understand your problem and have encountered it rarily in the past. Yes, TextPad's rendering of lines with certain characters can become inconsistent. One obvious attempt is to switch the font you're currently using to a different one - no matter how much you got used to it, try different on...

No, this is not a bug, and it has nothing to do with TextPad either. What you did was filtering the files already being listed, where "?" means exactly one random character and "*" means zero or many random characters. "!" has no special meaning. Search for "*a*&qu...

Pedantry at it's best. It's "its" (because "at it is best" makes no sense, while the determiner "its" expresses belonging to "best"). When I RECORD a macro, I am CREATING a macro. Sure. But you don't create actions that otherwise aren't available - that's wha...

Macros are recording, not creating. If the feature "select current line if nothing is selected yet" does not exist as an action you could choose from the menu, then you can't record it.

Macros are no scripts either, where you could insert conditions ("if ... then ...").

Editing your previous posts just proves your ridiculous behaviour of investing far more effort into profiling yourself instead of actually contributing something useful to TextPad.
