Try adding cmd /k to the beginning of your command. This tells the "DOS" console to carry out the specified command but remain open. In fact, you can click Start, Run and type in cmd /k cmd /? to get more information :)

Sometimes you even need cmd /k start "" added to the beginning as mentioned in ...

You can try KeyHH which provides this ability for most recent help files.

Ironically, the documentation about how to install and run the program is poor, so here are some tips:

1) The stetup program creates "C:\WINDOWS\KeyHH.exe" and "C:\Program Files\KeyWorks\KeyHH.its" (Setup never tells you ...

And let me add: Does anyone have a solution?

Click on "Yes" .... It's a link to http://textpad.com/forum/viewtopic.php? ... nderscores

I've seen this asked but never solved .... Here are possible workarounds:

1) View > Document tabs. Each tab should contain a file name.

2) If you usually work with files from one folder, you can use VSubst to assign a virtual drive letter to that long path. For eamples, "C:\Documents and Settings ...

And now I'm stuck on how to manually say every X lines add a page break. Perhaps this would be addressed with AutoIt (search the forums and you should have plenty of hits)

:) AutoIt v3 can be obtained from http://www.hiddensoft.com

You need to create a tool in TextPad (Configure > Preferences ...

You need to use a scripting language such as AutoIt v3 to do that. Here's one way:

Command: AutoIt3.exe foo.au3
Parameters: $Sel
Initial Folder: $FileDir
;Contents of foo.au3
; Only run your tool if $SEL or the text the user provides is not null
$text = $CmdLine[1]
$text = "" Then $text ...

If the files in question contain only one line, could you filter them by file size?


Otherwise, If you are comfortable with command-line tools here are some ideas:

FINDSTR comes with at least Windows XP and has two switches that might help:
/V Prints only lines that do not contain a match.
/M ...

Alt+Up and Alt+Down scroll the page while the cursor stays on the same line number.

Configure > Preferences > Keyboard > Cursor has some things that might help, but I'm thinking a third-party macro is required to do exactly what you want....

TextPad stores its settings in the Windows registry, so it's hard to do what you want.

I'd recommend ...., since they store their settings in INI files.

Just gave that script a quick run, it does not work.
I probably should have warned you script was untested because I don't use TextPad keystroke compatibility and "Changing the emulation [would kill] all custom key assignments."

The AutoIt help file (AutoIt.chm) is a really good place to start ...

Might try AutoIt

Do you have any hotkey programs that might be setting a global Ctrl+1 hotkey?

You might try reassigning Ctrl+Shift+1 or Alt+Ctrl+1 to see if those work.

I was really confused, too, when I ran the installer a few weeks ago.
For me, the file installed to c:\windows\keyHH.exe

By the way, keyHH might not be needed. Trids, who is a memeber of both TextPad's and AutoIt's forums, posted the keyHH info for use with an older version of TextPad. Trids said ...

The bad news:

SyntaxStart= and SyntaxEnd= are only useful for HTML files, sorry.
SingleCommentCol = and SingleCommentColAlt = are only useful in conjunction with the other strings, so they are also out.
StringStart=, StringEnd=, CharStart=, CharEnd=, StringAlt= do not help either. They can only ...

i guess i got it running, but when autoit sees a "()" gives an error, saying cant parse the file!

1) Make sure you have the lastest AutoIt version
2) Copy the code exactly and save it with the file extension .au3
3) Make sure TextPad is running
