I think I understand. No disrespect intended.

I've only ever had a single document displaying, so I wouldn't choose either setup, truthfully. If I had a huge 27" monitor, I might try multiple documents per window. I "only" have a 19" widescreen :) So you just like how it looks then. It's not a functional thing. At least, as far as the ...

You do not have to provide your credit card. You can sign up for a "premium" account via the "14-day trial", or you can sign up for a free account. Don't click the 14-day trial button. There's another way to do it. The entire Sublime tutorial is available to free accounts. I'd like to understand ...

Does it support multiple overlapping document windows? Wait a minute. I think you mean this: https://code.tutsplus.com/courses/perfect-workflow-in-sublime-text-2/lessons/configuring-and-mastering-split-windows (It requires a website registration, but it's a video in a multi-video course on Sublime ...

If you mean multiple application instances, with a separate project in each, then yes, it does.

It is a bit of a climb, but it's been less than two weeks since I started, and I'm reasonably comfortable now. It is beta, but I've had very little problems with it. My limited impression is that it's certainly good enough for real use. TextPad used to be rock solid. Pre version 6 I'd say. It's ...

After fifteen years--or close to it--I'm moving on to Sublime Text 3. I've written a post about it.

I mean no disrespect, and I spend much of the post discussing what TextPad does better.

It's been a great ride.

:(

I believe your suggestion is different from mine. My suggestion is not that TextPad should provide programming functionality, but that it should provide the means to integrate it with other tools that provide that functionality. Exactly. The point is not to get perfect, uber-functionality macros ...

I've just encountered my first project that requires an entirely separate classpath from the one I've been using for years. It calls a function in an old version of JUnit that no longer exists the more current version, which is on the classpath. I have a "compile" tool (on the Tools menu), and ...

I only care about the cursor not moving, as you say, I don't actually care if the spaces are stripped in the file itself, I just don't want the cursor moving when I save.

So +1 to virtual spaces.

The constrain to text only works when word-wrap is off. I mostly keep it on. But worth a try!

What are virtual spaces?

If it's that strictly formatted, a macro would work as well. Just record and run with word-wrap off.

Thanks for trying.

I also always have the "Strip trailing spaces from lines when saving" setting checked. The one thing that annoys me about it is, if the cursor happens to follow some whitespace, it is moved to column zero. I wish there was a sub-setting under "Strip trailing spaces from lines when saving", to say ...

This thread is about the "No duplicates" setting in the sort dialog not being preserved when you restarted TextPad. I'm having a similar issue with "Find in files", where the "File counts only" is always being unselected each time TextPad is restarted. Is there a similar setting in ConfigState.xml ...
