Thanks. My previous editor handled this with regard to syntax highlighting so I was hoping it was simply an issue that could be corrected. Unfortunately, that editor had other unrelated issues that made it unstable in recent versions, so here I am evaluating other editors... Although removing the fi...

Escaped quotes not handled properly with syntax colors
I have a Perl script that uses the following substitution regex to replace double quotes with a backslash + double quote combo: (Since the backslash is not showing up in the code sample below after posting, I'm going to use a vertical bar in place of where the real code has a backslash.) $str =~ s/|...

Double-click selection of variable names in Perl
In Perl a variable can begin with $, %, or @. If I double-click to select a variable name, it will include the "$" of "$myvar", but it won't get the "@" of "@myarray" or the "%" of "%myhash".

I'm assuming v6.5 uses the registry for its settings. I've updated the application to look for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Helios registry key, and if it exists, to export it (and its subkeys) to the export location. It is then restored to the registry of the target computer when importing with t...

Option to allow saving a file even if not modified
Many times while working on a file, I want to save it so FileZilla will detect a change and re-upload it. Sometimes I just want to update the date/time on a file I'm editing for some reason. Currently, TextPad doesn't allow me to save a file using the bound Save key (Ctrl+S in my case) if it hasn't ...

Default Find to word under cursor and auto-close Find window
Here is a feature that I was able to "sort of" implement with a macro, but it's not quite the same as my last editor, and was a feature I liked a lot: When I press the bound "Find" (Search) key, it launches the "Find" window which is expected. The last search phrase is ...

I know this thread is old, but I would also very much like to see the highlighting of matching braces when the cursor is moved next to one of a matching pair. This was available in my last editor and I do miss it now. Forgive me if this feature has been added. I did look the various Preferences and ...

I just opened a file in TP from FileZilla while making some changes, but then the Explorer pane opens to the FileZilla folder. :( It would be great if the app had setting (either Preferences/Folders/Startup or a separate setting just for this pane) that could override this behavior and always show a...
