Same issue with Textpad 5.4 on Vista Enterprise SP2 (32-bit) with Classic View. Works fine using Aero.

Overall, a nice release. Other than the slow preferences dialog and the weird character showing up on the menu items, the one thing I noticed that bothers me is that using F11 to show/hide the Document Selector now only shows it. It does not hide it anymore. That functionality is critical for me in ...

See it here as well.

This functionality "sort of" exists already. In order to do this, you need to enable highlighting of the current line. When editting a file, right-click and enable Block Mode select. Drag the mouse around, and you can check your alignments that way. It's a bit of a kludge, but it does the job.

I work in the telecom industry and use hex editors on a regular basis to edit and verify messages that contain ascii and binary data, before they are ASN.1 encoded and transmitted.

Marketing and sales people generally agree that if you leave it up to the engineers a product will never be released because they're always fixing "just one more thing". Their recommendation is to "shoot the engineers and get the product out to market". Believe me, the last thing you want is ...

Get tortoiseSVN and use TortoiseMerge that comes with it. Oh and learn about TortoiseSVN - it will make your lives so much easier (and safer) :) TortoiseSVN is not a solution my employer would go for. We currently use SCCS, PVCS, RMS, and are migrating to Borland StarTeam. Since TortoiseSVN is an ...

I usually end up having to use CSDiff, the Diff tool from the Gel Java IDE, or the diff tool from ConText to do my comparisons as I find the diff tool in Textpad is just not sufficient for our needs. The diff tools in Gel and ConText give you color-coded, side-by-side views of the differences, with ...

Ctrl+Tab cycles through open documents fine for me - Windows 2000 SP4, Textpad 4.7.3

Textpad works fine for me with XP SP2.

This could be done on purpose.

I know from my Windows programming days that an "&" results in a "_" in menus (and I think it also denoted a menu accelerator).

The preferences are stored in the Windows registry, as is the licensing information.

Thanks....now I see what I was doing wrong

Is it possible to save your editting bookmarks between editting sessions?

I tried setting bookmarks, and then saved the workspace, but when the workspace is loaded later, the bookmarks are not kept.

Check out the "duplicate line" macro available on the main textpad web site.

You can then assign "shift+right" to use that macro.
