I am able to open multiple instances. But I want to have a shortcut to several .tws files on my taskbar so that when I click on different ones a NEW instance automatically opens with that workspace. If I click on multiple .tws files, they all load in the same instance. The way I have to do it now is ...

Geez not even one reply in almost three months. Doesn't anyone at Helios monitor these forums? I would have expected to at least see something from them if this is simply not possible.

Ben, I realize that the block symbol was the unprintable backspace character, but I was hoping it could actually do the backspace. MudGuard's (and your) suggestion to use [^...] instead of .{1} works. I simply keep hitting "Replace All" until it can't find any more. Thanks to all

ben, That replaces it with a block symbol but doesn't actually perform the backspace. Using Bob's suggestion on this then gets me the same results.

Is there a way to find any number of occurences of something, then grab the same number or prior characters, then replace them all with nothing?

I do have multiples as you suggested. It fails on those since the cursor position is already past the previous character. Therefore, after the second iteration of the replace on [Backspace][Backspace][Backspace] , it looks like this [Backspace since it selects [Backspace ][Backspace] . It somehow ...

How can I use regular expressions to replace the text [Backspace] with a real backspace? I can find it with \[Backspace\] and have tried to replace it with [\b] and \b with POSIX both on and off. Each time it simply replaces it literally with [\b] or \b.

I click on a .tws file to load a workspace. If I click on another one, it overlays the first instance with the new workspace. Therefore, I have to load Textpad, then load a new workspace from the File / Workspace menu. Is there a way to click on several .tws files and have them load in their own ...

I open multiple instances of TP using workspaces so that files related to different projects are grouped together. Is there a way to change the icon that displays for each instance that is displayed when using Alt-Tab to switch windows? I know the text displayed below it tells me which instance it ...

I'm having the same problem with Keywords. If a Keyword is followed by any character other than a space it does not get color-coded. I mention this in my post at http://www.textpad.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6101 . I've looked everywhere but cannot find an answer. Since nobody has replied to my post ...

I've seen many posts about keywords but can't seem to find one dealing with keywords that don't have a trailing space. I'm setting up a syn file for RPG. Since the operand column is fixed at 5 columns, the parameter following it is bumped up against it. Therefore, the IFEQ, and OREQ commands work ...
