Thank you. I have been doing your 2nd suggestion. I was wondering if there is a simpler way.

I would like to use "Mark All" command in the Find box to mark lines matching the search string, but only within my selection, instead of the whole document.

Is this possible? If so, how can I do this?

I am running a tool, and the lines on the tool output tab are too wide to fit on the screen. I have the word wrap feature on, but they are not wrapped. Why is this happening, and what can I do about it? This just started happening recently. For all the other tabs I have open, the word wrap feature ...

I have a tool set up (Python 2.6, in case it matters), with the "capture output" option set, so the output comes up in a separate tab. I was doing this so I could easily copy the output and paste it into another program. However, TextPad appears to add some extra text ("Tool completed successfully ...

I think it may be a good idea if you have different shortcuts to move to the next and previous tab, like in Crimson Editor.

Ctrl+Tab should go to the most recently used tab.
Ctrl+Page Down should go to the next tab.
Ctrl+Page Up should go to the previous tab.

What does everyone think?

I figured out a solution. If I have scroll lock on, I can scroll up and down without losing the selection. I have no idea why this works.

thank you, dtoader. I tried solution 0 and it worked. I never noticed that before. It is extremely rare for my scroll lock key to do something useful for me. That is helpful, but I would still prefer to scroll one line at a time. There are a bunch of settings in TextPad. Is there anything specific ...

I noticed that if I press Ctrl+up or Ctrl+down, I can scroll the document. It is convenient to be able to do this, but I noticed that if I have some text selected, it gets unselected. This only happens if I try to scroll using the keyboard, not using the mouse wheel. Is there any way to scroll with ...

Sometimes, if I try to open a workspace, I get a box that pops up saying "Unexpected and unrecoverable error. Would you like to save a diagnostic file? [Yes] [No]". It seems to happen at random. It usually happens when I try to open a workspace with files on a network drive, but I haven't found any ...

After some experimentation, I discovered that if I have word wrap disabled, pressing Home once moves to the first non-whitespace character on the line, and pressing it a second time moves all the way to the left side. With word wrap enabled, pressing Home always goes to the left side for some reason ...

I am trying to make my Home key go to the first non-whitespace character on the line that the cursor is on. For example, if I have the following code: for i in range(5): print 'hi' and my cursor is on the 2nd line, I would like the Home key to send the cursor to the "p" in "print". Is there any way ...

Is there a way to disable this feature? I have been using TextPad for months and I just can't get used to it. It is different from every other tabbed interface I've used.

I don't think so, but to be sure, I will pay closer attention when I quit TextPad. I'll let you know if I notice anything specific that triggers this behavior.

I am trying to record another macro, and I am having the same problem. I can try to exit TextPad and rename the same file again, but it is tiresome to do that every time I want to record a macro. What is causing this behavior? Is there any way I can avoid it?

It worked. Thank you.
