For reasons unrelated to this issue, I recently had occasion to install TextPad on three absolutely identical PCs with Windows 7 Pro (64-bit). TextPad won't remain on these PCs (since non-programmers will be using them), but they presented an opportunity. The very first software installed on each of ...

| I suspect there's a bug somewhere that ought to be addressed. There most definitely is ... a long-outstanding bug. I've been dealing with this bug on various systems since my first 64-bit Windows Vista system. I was never able to get it working on any 64-bit Vista system at all. But I had the same ...

I followed the (convoluted) instructions at the referenced thread, and eventually got it working. It took several tries since I initially misinterpreted the significance of the back-to-back reverse slash characters. (They have to be there in a .REG file as part of the meta-syntax, but not there in ...

It already is. I indicated that in my first post, above: | [it] has the "Context menu" option checked under "Put shortcuts to TextPad on:". Not only that, I've checked it, rebooted, and then (when that did not work) unchecked it and rebooted, then checked it and rebooted ... all several times (I ...

Installed TextPad 7.2.0 on a Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit system. Configure | Preferences | General has the "Context menu" option checked under "Put shortcuts to TextPad on:". PC has been rebooted several times since the install of TextPad 7.2.0. Otherwise, TextPad works OK.

That's a great suggestion. I have done so and it works as expected . I wonder why the Paste as Block option is not listed in the Edit menu (as documented). Perhaps it has been removed in keeping with the "lean and spare" motif exhibited by TextPad. If so, the description of this facility in TextPad ...

I am using 5.3.1. I know how to get Paste as Block to work, because I can (with word wrap off) select a block, copy it, and paste it successfully. However, what I want to do is to Paste as Block a selection of text that was NOT copied in block mode, but in line mode (in another application that does ...

I was actually able to solve my problem, but in an extremely awkward and completely roundabout way. I just happened to notice that the deinstallation process for the previous release of TextPad did not always cause the Windows Registry entry (entries) for TextPad on the Explorer Context (right-click ...

After uninstalling TextPad 4.7.1, and then installing TextPad 4.7.3, my Windows 2000 system no longer has the "TextPad" entry listed in the Context menu (i.e., right-click on file name in Explorer), despite the fact that I have "Context menu" checked under "Put shortcuts to TextPad on:" in Configure ...
