I just spent 30 minutes configuring the color scheme of a document class. I accidentally hit "set default" and poof, the beautiful colors vanished and now I'm back to the original white background. Is it possible to save the color configuration before I accidentally erase it again?

Thank you very much 8)

Hi, I would like to highlight every file type (*.*) with the same .syn def. Actually, what I'm trying to do exactly, is to use the Perl syntax to highlight every file type, especially files without an extension. However, it warns me that "*.* is a part of Default and Perl". The result is t...

No. A tab is a tab, and TextPad treats it as such. Not if the tab was created using a different operating system and/or encoding scheme. I have the file opened right here. Let me try to illustrate to you in Textpad the difference between a recognized tab and an unrecognized tab consisting of a seri...

A tab is a tab - the ASCII character whose value is 9. There are no emacs tabs or TextPad tabs. If emacs is using a tab spacing of 4 and TextPad is using a tab spacing of 2, then the two files represented above are not the same file. Perhaps something has expanded all the tabs in the originals to 8...

Hi, Actually, I have my Textpad tabs set to 2 spaces. I believe you're right about Emacs setting tabs to 4 spaces. Unfortunately the files edited with Emacs, when opened with Textpad on Win32, lose their tabular characteristic, and are processed as white spaces only. This causes all sorts of weirdne...

I currently develop on Win32 using Textpad, but my teammates develop on Linux. I like using Textpad; however when I bring up Emacs-formatted code into Textpad, the letter spacing isn't displayed as it was formatted in Linux. For example, consider this Linux code: sub toString { my $self = shift; my ...

I wrote a program to search files containing a certain word, if files are found, the program launches Textpad to open those files. It would be nice if Textpad could highlight the words within those files (automatically on start). Is there any way to specify Textpad to do this?

I am in the situation of editing a lot of code written by other people in this format:
I would like to reformat this type of code as:
Any macro or utility out there that could make my life easier?

out of curiosity, What language + environment was TextPad written in?
