He's talking about jump lists:
Most likely this is a Windows problem (version and update specific), not one of TextPad. Did you try results from https://www.google.ca/search?q=taskbar+pin+recent+files?

Just to be sure: the menu is entered, just like pressing Alt alone, right? It is not "opened", like Alt+F would display all items of the "File" menu item and highlight its first child item, right? In your screenshot the window menu is merely entered, getting the focus.

Alt+Tab switches between entire programs, not between windows of one program. You can Alt+Tab to a different program (f.e. Explorer), then Alt+Tab back to TextPad. At that time one window of TextPad has the focus - if it's not the main window, it should be one of its open dialog windows. "Open ...

If you mean the dialog window instead of the toolbar "panel": Version 9.1.0 - No Search/Replace Dialogs 'find' form missing They're most likely out of reach. Wherever that happens to you (the program doesn't matter): Pay attention if the main window loses its focus. In older Windows versio...

Looked at all 22 matches from this search: matching spaces in regular expressions The board search also supports wildcards and brackets, so you could have found more by searching for matching space* (expressions | regex | regexes) . Note that the words "regular", "expression" an...

Cannot reproduce with 8.4.2. Rightclicking is unbound to if it is on the selection or outside. Can you bring up the context menu with the menu key on your keyboard ? Does directly cutton/copying the text to the clipboard still work without the context menu (i.e. pressing Ctrl+X or Ctrl+Del/Ctrl+C or...

Could the statusbar's first panel be too long, effectively moving all others out of the window's width?

Does this look like this with every View > Appearance?

Freely rearranging the toolbar items by dragging was available for many years, if not decades:

A rightclick on any toolbar or the window menu to then select "Customize" doesn't work anymore? In its tab "Commands" you can drag anything to your toolbars, or remove it from them. Hence you're unbound to existing toolbars and what they carry.

Trivia: that's a control and its name is status bar. It can be identified by usually having a size grip on the right side to have a larger area for starting to resize a window (than only the window border). You should know it from many other programs.

You cannot edit the Registry in places without knowing if it is then executed by how you "open" a file or not. If you had "no luck" then you haven't double clicked a "json_auto_file" yet. Have a read on Windows > Desktop Technologies > Desktop Environment > Windows Shel...

TextPad settings/configuration Ticked the Preferences > General > Allow multiple instances to run checkbox? Windows Registry via Regedit Of course via regedit.exe - what else? But which values at which keys in particular? As per help (Reference Information > Command Line Parameters) the parameter -...

TextPad highlights the result using a very light grey You mean you open the Search > Find dialog, click its Find next button and leave the dialog window open? And are talking about the background color? You can change that in Configure > Preferences > Document Classes > [for each you want] > Colors...

Counter question: which syntax highlightings do you miss? The only thing I've changed was making to because I have no clue why one would exclude those.

if during a macro playback all external TextPad input is ignored It's difficult to judge if input comes from the program's own windows or from elsewhere. As a result one wouldn't be able to pause/stop a macro anymore, should input be disabled. to not touch anything else on Windows i.e. changing foc...
