New Behaviours

Does anyone like the way the find in files search results panel works in 5? I don't know if it's just because it's new, I've tried to get used to it for a month now, but I still want the old functionality back where the search results acted like a separate file that didn't cover up the file you're w...

Is that it?

Am I the only person that's disappointed with v5? With all of those enhancement suggestions I was really excited when I heard a new version had finally been released after years of waiting. But what we have seems to be very similar to version 4 with only a couple of minor toys like the file explorer...

Marker Pen Text Highlighting

It would be nice if you could highlight multiple ranges of text in a flourescent marker pen style.

I know you can select a range easily enough, but sometimes I need to discuss two or more areas of a document with a colleague.

Not a "must have", but a "would like".

Good idea!

Looks like this has been suggested more than once, but it's very difficult to track down others in the search results because the keywords like "new" are so ambiguous and not everyone would think of "instance".
So I think this suggestion is probably more popular that it seems.

Good idea!

I was just about to suggest it myself, but thought I'd better see if anyone else had suggested already. The ability to create a new instance manually "File > New Instance" would be very useful (especially if like me you have a dual monitor system), and I doubt it would be a huge amount of ...

Good Suggestion!

I dont have much to add, just offering my support. I have coped in the past by copying files and exporting registry sections, but it's not exactly ideal!

Negative Search

I'd like to be able to flip the logic on searches, ie say "find lines that don't contain the following text". In particular, doing negative regular expressions without having "!~" is a real pain! It only needs a little checkbox and the "if" turned into a "if not&qu...

Indentation

I love the collapsing block idea...

And Lawrence I totally agree with you, it would be really nice to be able to use automated indentation, I use the least popular form, eg:

Code: Select all

public static void myFunction() 
        { 
        ... 
        }

Folding Blocks

I don't really have much to say that hasn't already been said, I just want to give the feature my thumbs up. It would be really nice to be able collapse sections of code and to be able to see where a block really starts and finishes, not just where you think it does!

Workspace

Does anyone else have an issue with the fact that when you reload a workspace it loads the documents in a different order? It would be great if you could shunt them round a little and have the more important ones on the left for example? Some kind of manual sorting ability? By the way csexton, I see...

Tabbing

I too find it difficult at times to predict which tab will be selected next. This is made worse by the fact that when you reload a workspace, it opens the files in a different order!

Coloured Document Tabs

I frequently edit about 20 files at the same time, I prefer the document tabs to the document selector as they require less screen space. However, when you have a lot of files open, it can take a lot of scanning across to find the file you want, so my suggestion is to be able to colour code them? He...

Keyword Align

Just a little reformatting idea, mostly for coders. If you have several lines of code which are similiar, it would be nice to be able to automatically tabulate them by adding spaces. eg... <img src="one.jpg" width=100 height=10 alt="the first one"> <img src="two.jpg" wi...
