Copy the contents of
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Helios\TextPad
to new folder:
TextPad\license

Copy the contents of
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Helios\TextPad\7
to new folder:
TextPad\config

Now can run portable with the following LNK shortcut file:
TextPad.exe -f config -k license

Recommendation for new checkbox in Preferences > View [X] Hide Horizontal scroll bar when Word wrap active The horizontal scroll bar is not needed when word wrap is active. Sometimes you want to turn word wrap on and off in the middle of working on a document without also having to turn the ...

OK, thanks. It seems to me that it might be possible for me to create this via a Add-in Macro. Where is the Macro API? I cannot find any documentation. How were the following add-ins created? What is the process for creating and compiling a .TPM file? http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/macros.html ...

Thanks, but I was hoping to be able to assign Ctrl+X to both EditCut and EditCutLine. And Ctrl+C to both EditCopy and EditCopyLine.

Can these two be assigned to the same hotkey at the same time?

Is there any way to make that, if nothing is selected and Cut or Copy is done, then Textpad will apply Cut/Copy to the current line? This is such a common programmer workflow to move lines around. It really wastes my keystrokes to always have to have to hit "<Home> <Shift+Down><Ctrl+X>" every time I ...

Another reason for this happening can be for when notepad is being called with file names with spaces in it and you have Textpad set to "Replace Notepad". To fix: Search registry for all instances of following text: notepad.exe %1 replace with: notepad.exe "%1" From Textpad help page "Command Line ...

Try the following Registry script, should fix it. To use, paste the following into a blank text file and save the file with a .REG extension. Then right click on the .REG file and go to "Merge". You should also uncheck "Preferences > General > Put shortcuts to Textpad on > Context menu" Windows ...

Not sure for your older version, Textpad 4, but this is where you might find them:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\Helios\

Also search hard drive for files:
ConfigState.xml
GUIState.xml
custom.bnd

You can also try searching your hard drive for "Helios".

You can do it a better way by passing the filename with DDE so that Textpad will not launch a new instance but rather open the file in the current window. Save the following as a .REG file and Right Click on the .REG file and choose Merge. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT ...

This will do it properly with passing the filename through dde - so that Textpad will open the file in the existing window instead of launching a new instance. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell] @="Textpad" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\Textpad] @="&Textpad ...

I have observed this happens when using it in Portable mode.

It would be nice if the toolbars could be dragged to the right of the toolbar - so that people with widescreens could have their menu bar and toolbar all on one line.

Please have Ctrl+Tab go through the tabs in order that they are shown. (Not by most recent).

Please also have the documents on the Document Selector shown in same order as shown in the tabs.

Thank you for a great product.

It would be nice to have a keyboard configurable shortcut for the behavior common in programming IDEs, that is: Ctrl+C when nothing selected - will copy the current line. Ctrl+V -- will paste that line with original indentation (from beginning of line, not from current keyboard caret indentation ...

That checkbox solves what I needed and my files are being correctly detected and read by other programs now. Thanks.
(I would recommend this option should be checked by default).
