Para-quoting my post from 2017-02-09 : Keep in mind that it's still up to the font being used to support single characters... Textpad will never be better than the fonts installed on your system. If you install i.e. OpenSansEmoji.ttf then you get [Emojis] as expected: http://abload.de/img/20170209te...

This is impossible, because as of 2021-09-25 you still stated to use 8.8.0 , which is not one year ago and not 8.9.0. The version 8.9.0 is available since 2021-10-07 - the "News" page will also tell you all other versions with dates, so you can check yourself there has never been a "9...

Long story short: editing files on SMB shares is (still) bugged. Unbound to Macs and MacOS. Go try it with a real Unix or Linux or any other Windows machine sharing via SMB - it should be the same issue. Somehow TextPad must detect if it is operating on a network resource and in that case not perfor...

Re: Show Tab close buttons permanently

permanently display the close button on the document tabs This doesn't exist because there's never anything per tab besides its caption. Just like in countless other software (except web browsers, which started this). Don't display tabs, then you have that button per document/window. If I want to c...

(rarily needed) "invert line order"

Maybe it is rather trivial to implement, so I'll just mention it, although I don't need it often: the feature to invert the order of all selected lines (or the entire document). If I have the lines 1, 2 and 3 in that order I want them to invert into 3, 2 and 1. If I have the lines Red, Yellow and Gr...

I can halfway confirm this with 8.4.2: pressing CTRL+O to get the "open file" dialog the "filename" combobox has the focus I type in a random text that definitly does not exist as filename (f.e. "asdf") click "open" button A new document "asdf.txt" c...

Associating Java with this product feels like asking if animals were harmed during the production: chances are so off that questioning it can only be reasoned by i.e. panic. What is a bit more concerning: in 2022-03-25 a threat in ZLIB was discovered and every implementation after 1.2.2.1 and before...

It's basically replace \<[[:graph:]]{1,50}\> by '$0', and it neither makes sense nor am I able to reproduce it: the sample list has multiple lines, but the screenshots show one single line. The replacement operation nowhere eats linebreaks. Are you sure "Sample List" is exactly what we sho...

Oh, I'm glad the culprit is so simple. Don't blame yourself: sometimes one has to write it all down and 2 minutes before you'd hit "submit" to let others read your questions it suddenly unfolds to yourself. I'm also highly satisfied with the syntax highlighting and see no need to ever be m...
