Thank you very much for that perfect solution!!!!

Thank you both for your answer!
(if it wasn't for madguard's insights into all the code of textpad, i would have tried out the macro method)

Hi! :wink: I've started to use the marvelous CMake ( http://www.cmake.org ) for generating makefiles. The files you create for telling CMake how to generate the makefiles are all called "CMakeLists.txt". To make it a little easier for me to edit these files, i made a syntax highlighting file for ...

If textpad is gonna have an autocomplete/intellisense feature, IT SHOULD BE DONE PROPERLY !! What i've read here based on matching syntax-files and stuff, just seems to be really weak. (I don't want an autocomplete-feature to match the keywords of my language!! :-) ) If you have to do it, why not do ...

I never tried this myself, but it should be possible to open a registry file from a non-default path with the command "regedit /R:c:\path\to\ntuser.dat" Now you can export HKCU\Software\Helios\Textpad 4, exit regedit, and doubleclick the file you just saved. Thank you. I tried but it didn't (seem ...

Hi guys. Sorry if this is a stupid question... (i've been googling for some time, but i'm still kind a' clueless) About a week ago my harddisk crashed. I now have a new harddisk. I managed to get the "registry database"-files back from the old harddisk: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Default ...

This would be an extreamly annoying feature - usually i don't want to search for the word under the cursor. Often i want to search again for what i just searched for before. Thus it would be extreamly annoying if textpad started to initialize the search-field. (i would have to write what i just ...

Hi... I tried to select some files in the "document selector", and tried running a tool (a compile-tool) on them. But it only compiled one of the files. Isn't it supposed to run the tools on all files selected in the document selector? (this would seem intuitive) If not, this is a suggestion for ...

Ok, you say these are the advantages of EMACS: - (being able to do metaphysic stuff) - scripts (is this something like macros?) - LISP - highly extendable How is it highly entendable? Through plugins? (maybe a little like winamp?) What can these plugins (or whatever) do? (are they normal programs ...

I've been searching around the forum for a while, and i don't think this has been asked before. (if it has, i'm sorry) I'm kind a' interested to learn what emacs can do that textpad can't. I've heard a lotta people banging on about what good editor emacs is, so i would like to know what excatly is ...
