I'm not. None are declared in the docs and changing from the interpretation of the host OS would be pretty dumb.

Tool Output should show the tool output, unchanged.

At a CMD prompt, this PHP

echo "abc\rxyz";

shows

xyz

In Tool Output it shows

abc
xyz

i.e. ignores the \r.

This is messing up my /-\| activity monitor.

Anyone know a workaround?

OK, so my options to get correct display of the valid UTF-8 sent to Tool Output include : [...] 2 Changing my program to add bytes to the output that are not recommended by the Unicode Standard and are illegal in some major applications e.g. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-8.1 This ...

And what is Tool06, if not Tool #6 on the External Tools menu?

Assuming the reason I can find no way to reorder tabs using keyboard is that tab move commands don't exist, please add them.

Please allow reordering of document selector entries, e.g. ALT+Up/Down Arrow moves selected entries by one place.

The tab bar's reorderability is the only think that keeps me using it, and I'd far prefer to use the more-redable vertical document selector if it had this feature.

Don't the follow show I do?

Yes. You can see CTRL+6 in the first screenshot of this message.

A bug is something that is not working as intended, and syntax highlighting in your text selection was never intended. I wonder what makes you think it was never intended. I see nothing on the UI indicating e.g. my keyword colour is supposed to disappear when the keyword is selected. If that was ...

Really?? What makes you think this behaviour isn't just a bug?

It would be really nice to have this fixed.[/img]

That means: save your tool output in a file with ANSI encoding, then open the file again by specifying UTF-8 as encoding (instead of Default ). Now you should see what you always expected. No, that's not what I always expected. What I expected was correct display in the Tool Output window . I can ...

TextPad does not offer a command prompt. Do you mean the Run command? By "command prompt" I mean the only one existing in the system, not Textpad . This resembles to CMD.EXE on nowadays Windows version. In Textpad 's "Run" dialog or "Tools > Add" menu this is the (wrongly titled) "DOS command ...
