Yes, this is a major annoyance. If I have two files with the same name from different directories open, the only way to tell them apart in the document selector is to memorize their positions, but every time I open the workspace, the positions are randomized!

When I use Textpad I like to turn the window translucent so I can see my desktop background while I work. However, using translucency on such a large window tends to make my computer run really slow. It'd be nice if I could just set a background image for the editor itself, and I don't think it'd be ...

Personally I'd be happy if I could open a file containing both English and Japanese characters and edit it without the Japanese text becoming "??????". Windows already handles inputting in Japanese, all Textpad needs to do is not turn it into garbage.

I have to agree on Paste from Clipboard History keys, but a whole separate clipboard seems like overkill.

Can you not just It makes it easier to comment and uncomment large blocks of code that way, and the syntax highlighting should already make it fairly obvious what is and isn't a comment, so adding stars is a bit redundant IMO.

This has only happened once so far, but I figure you might want to know anyway. I was writing some code and selected a bunch of text to indent it (it already had one tab of indentation). When I pressed Alt+Right (to indent) some of the text became indented properly, some went way to the left ...

Some programming languages are able to insert the line number into the code. For example in C, if you write printf("%d\n",__LINE__");, with most compilers it will print the line number the statement is on.

I had a similar problem before; when I saved the workspace, next time I tried to load it no files would actually open. It seems to have stopped, though. I'm not sure what might have caused it.

Key combinations such as Ctrl+D and Ctrl+B insert weird characters into my document. Nothing stops you from changing the keyboard settings - if you don't like the default for Ctrl+D, set it to a different command (You could set it to have the same meaning as Ctrl+S - I have set it to insert the ...

Textpad is awesome, but there are a few things that really bug me, and some features I think would really enhance it: Key combinations such as Ctrl+D and Ctrl+B insert weird characters into my document. Especially annoying as it causes lag and D is right next to S so I keep getting crud in my file ...

I agree completely, the current auto-backup system is weak. Files that I haven't yet saved via the File menu or hotkey should not pop up an auto-save prompt, and some way of preserving the path would be nice (maybe C:\blah\file.txt could be saved as C-blah-file.txt in the backup folder).

I have a document containing several file names, like this: rename "01 - BooHooWoo - .hack,,GAME MUSIC Perfect Collection CD3 - %" 01T_dtpOp.wav rename "02 - BooHooWoo - .hack,,GAME MUSIC Perfect Collection CD3 - %" 02T_apriSlct.wav rename "03 - BooHooWoo - .hack,,GAME MUSIC Perfect Collection CD3 ...

I'd be scared too, if it was an important file. That's a lot of text.

I just installed v4.73, and when I go to View -> Toolbars -> Customize the program crashes. Sometimes no error message appears, otherwise I get this error: AppName: textpad.exe AppVer: 4.0.7.3 ModName: textpad.exe ModVer: 4.0.7.3 Offset: 00108989 OS is XP Pro. I had installed SP2 but this crashed ...
