this whole "textpad 5.0" issue is a textbook example of how NOT to treat your users. i mean, the helios guys must have known how we'd react.

it's almost like they counted on us reacting the way we did... but why?

i'm disappointed. a minor UI brushup? don't say you took all of 2.5 years for that. it's not even a rewrite. you added some eye-candy and easy to implement features that aren't at the top of anybody's wishlist. and it's buggy, which translates to "useless", which translates to "doesn't exist" for ...

why would you need that?

if you want to hide code, hide it in abstractions and swap it out into different files.

edit: did you search before posting? http://forum.textpad.com/viewtopic.php?t=3764

then your php "application" is broken. each line is to be terminated with \n (unix) or \r (mac) or \r\n (windows). and terminating a line properly has nothing to do with "unix file endings". i know of compilers that bitch if you have your last line unterminated... your original post sounded like you ...

http://findtag.sourceforge.net/

the instructions there work fine. maybe you have an older version of findtag?

true i'd like that too

but down that road you'd get an editor completely made of scripts... emacs comes to mind. where's my neural interface?!?!

a mailing list or feed announcing the new version would be great, once it's out. i want to check it out as soon as possible. i wonder if helios can manage to keep the new textpad lean enough for it to load up in <.5 seconds, considering all the feature requests... i just hope that, if it comes ...

I would like this feature too. Maybe up to, say, 10 MB are loaded into memory, files beyond are not. This would require you to set such files as read-only, track modifications and apply these when saving or apply modifications instantly. If you decide to implement this feature, and decide to track ...

Thanks, but that sounds not quite like what I was looking for. I did a perfunctory search for "plug in" in hope of maybe finding some way of writing a plug in that does the "parenthesis balancing" at real-time, so I don't need to press any keys (except for the opening parenthesis) to activate the ...

I decided to revive this thread because I can make use of that feature as well. I once had the opportunity to test the feature in another program and I liked it. It is really handy when you press an opening brace and the closing one appears after the cursor so you can keep in the flow and needn't ...

to woho: how did you do this thing "<Alt><Left> takes me back where I came from"? useful to me as well...

thanks for the links. this add-on looks promising...

edit: hey, awesome tool! i used the assignments proposed in the readme.htm by the author and it is really convenient, since i am lefthanded and my right hand always hangs around near the "enter" key

love it, cannot live without it

Hi, i am also developing with Borland Delphi / Builder and have grown fond of one feature best described as "hypertext jumping". you have a function call and would like to see the function definition. so you hold down ctrl, click on the function call and then the editor jumps to the definition. you ...
