Mmm... I'm sorry if this post is against the rules. If so, my apologies. If not... TextMate does have several annoyances. I bought it because it came highly recommended, and because I was limited, at the time, to the really horrible editor that comes built-in. Bleah. TextMate was a huge step up from ...

I've been a fan of TextPad since the version 1.x days. I use TextPad for everything. But it's not available for the Mac, which I've been on more recently. So I got TextMate on the Mac... and I've been really happy with its code-aware features, like automatic indenting, brace matching, etc. I still ...

Frequently I'm editing text, and I'd like to shift the scroll so that the cursor is at the top or bottom of the screen... I don't want the cursor to move, but the scroll position. Since I never user 'move cursor to bottom of screen' or 'move cursor to top of screen', I would remap Alt+Home and Alt ...

So 'stream' mode is when you're selecting from exact cursor position to exact cursor position? And line mode is when it grabs the whole line the cursor starts and ends with, reguardless of where the cursor is positioned in the line? I think the help should be revised to define what 'stream' means to ...

Playing around in the keybindings, I found SelectBeginStream... if I press the keystroke for it (default Ctrl+Q,S) the select-startpoint becomes locked to the current text-cursor position, the mouse cursor becomes a down pointing arrow, and clicking anywhere just changes the select-endpoint. Is that ...

Erg, I should have read what you posted before ranting further. Sorry about that. I don't recall paying for an upgrade... perhaps I have a selective memory. Perhaps I just paid happily because I use TextPad all the time and it was money well spent. But if TP5 has an upgrade cost, I concede that ...

I don't understand your concern. There are really only two scenarios: You've already bought TextPad. Any upgrades will be free, and they'll come out when they're done. You can use TextPad, or something else if you like... when the new version comes out, you can go back to using TextPad. You have not ...

I understand a desire to improve upon Textpad. And I think that Helios would be criminally stupid to not be working on major improvements. But Textpad is also a 'best of breed' editor in its niche. That niche is working with text. It's a simple niche, but it has broad ramifications. Is the niche ...

I always add this shortcut whenever I reinstall Textpad. There is no shortcut this replaces (nothing else uses Ctrl-Q,A), and it's something I think is probably turned on and off rather frequently.

Just a thought.
