I frequently use TextPad as a scratch-pad editor (e.g. paste in some text, edit, copy it out again), never saving to file. But if auto-save is on, it prompts me to save to a file if the text is open for more than 10 mins (or whatever auto-save is set to). I don't want to turn auto-save off, because ...

(bringing topic out of the dustbin) Any thoughts on this from the textpad people... i don't see that this would be a difficult thing to implament. -Echo And if there are any thoughts, here's a related idea that would tie this up even better ... There are some things that I always want to do in an ...

Ah - thanks!

Sorry it was a case of RTFM, I'd just never realised that feature existed before - learn something every day :-/

Cheers

I not long ago updated to 4.7.1 from 4.6, and I've just noticed what I think is different behaviour of the page-up & page-down keys. I'm sure that previously, page up/down operations would relocate the cursor and keep it on the screen. Now they appear to behave the same as the scroll bars, leaving ...

I tried setting it up by making "textpad -m" the command associated with workspace files, this worked until TP re-wrote the registry (which it seems to like to do)!

I would like a macro like GoToPreviousCursorPosition(), [snip]... Or if i'd accidently hit Ctrl-Home instead of just Home For cases like this Ctrl+G is handy, the default line number to go to is the line you were on before the last move. (I wish more editors did this, all the others seem to put the ...

I beg to differ, TP does support UTF-16. I noticed the problem not because I was looking at encoding but at filesizes. TP's properties for the file I had opened said ~50k, but the actual disk file was ~100k. Then I noticed it said the encoding was Unicode, and a hex dump of the file showed it to be ...

Is this the right place to report a specific bug? I couldn't see a "bugs" section. Anyway, I've just noticed that the file properties dialog shows the wrong filesize for Unicode files. It's exactly half the actual size. I.e. Textpad is counting the characters correctly, but not allowing for the fact ...
