A fairly easy workaround is to tap F11 twice (which closes the Doc selector then reopens it). Must be a configuration difference here, because this does not work for me. On my setup, F11 only invokes the document selector or returns to the document, and does not open and close it. This is the ...

I see this exact same behavior with 5.3.1 on Win7/64.

After saving a new file (which is initially correctly sorted as "DocumentN"), the name is not resorted after it is renamed.

I just had a thought: how about an imbedded Perl interpreter as a macro language? Seems like the perfect language for such a task.

Let me also add a request to implement full Perl regular expression syntax as described here . It has become, it seems a defacto new standard for REs and is also (with some differences) the syntax supported in the Java Pattern class.

Topic: Hanging Indent - Possible?

Rather than start a new thread, might as well reuse this very old one. I too would love to see a hanging indent feature. Alternatively, or in addition, I'd love to see text double-spaced on a hard return. The reason is that without either, it's really hard to tell the difference between a line that ...
