The "view in web browser" option does NOT do that: it actually does "view in DEFAULT HTML HANDLER". This is both a theoretical and a practical problem. It's easily illustrated by setting your system's default HTML handler to TextPad (which is how my system is set up). Oops!!! Then "view in web ...

Additionally, File | Save functionality from the drop-down menu should also be RETAINED regardless of the state of the document (unmodified). The reason for this is that it interrupts work flow for those of us who are used to doing File | Save (via Alt-F | S) to save our work (in virtually EVERY ...

When you copy something to the clipboard, TextPad automatically REPLACES the "search-for" text with this. While in some cases this might be okay, it's a royal pain for me (and NOT standard). No other program (that I've ever used) does this, and there's no workaround (except to re-type the text you'd ...

Look at changing settings in Configure, Preferences, Keyboard.... You can make any key settings that you want. OOPS! Except that making Home, Home go to DocumentStart DISABLES the functionality of a single Home! It gives a little "press another key" icon & does NOT do the single-click function ...

Awesome!! Thanks for the tip!!

I understand all the stuff about timestamp on the file. Even if the "Save" button is grayed out, however, it should STILL retain its functionality: just do a "save"!! Accidental saves? That's just user error. If the button is grayed out, that's a visual reminder that your file does not actually need ...

You can always right-click the toolbar and custom-configure it by adding the "Save As" icon.

I don't see the oldest/newest thing you mention at the bottom of the screen...

...but my point is that sorting (by ANY column value) should be intuitive: click on the column heading... to sort ^, click again to sort v...

The long description of the action taken by the "View in Web Browser" icon is "View the document in the default web browser"; however, this is NOT what actually happens (and it DEFINITELY SHOULD BE). What actually happens is that the document is opened by the system's DEFAULT HTML HANDLER (based on ...

Why is "[File|]Save" ever "grayed out"?? It's not like it's not an option ALL THE TIME; it is (well... it should be!!). I realize that it's grayed out only when no changes have been made since the last save, but the option should never disappear. If you want to change the icon to something that ...

The "home" key should NOT be a toggle to go back and forth between the beginning of the line and the beginning of the non-whitespace in the line, because it makes its behavior inconsistent. Now, it's impossible (so far as I can tell) to execute ANY DEFINITIVE set of keystrokes that GUARANTEES that I ...

Bulletin board usability could be improved if there were a (single-click) option to SORT messages in reverse date order (or any other order, for that matter). Also, it would help to have multiple "submit" buttons (e.g. one at the top of the "post a new topic" area, and/or one which is the next ...

There needs to be an option (set in preferences per user) to allow the "Home" key to ALWAYS go to the BEGINNING OF THE LINE (*not* the first non-whitespace character on a line). I know you can do this with Home-Home; but it's extremely disconcerting to have to do this. I don't think I'll EVER get ...

Need an option to "search from beginning of file" (regardless of where cursor currently is) in the "Search" dialog.
