Colorset, Fast Commands, Source Editing.

[Alariva]

I'd like textpad to have the following features:

1. "Syntax Colorset" manager, to make it much easier to create a colorset and export/import it to/from files. I don't like having to configure all colors again for a Document Class if I want it the same as another Class or if I want to get it from an existing workspace previously configured.

2. Cool Text Editor features, like a smart expresion calcularor. eg. convert "4+5" to "9" by just pressing a hotkey, like happens with the text editor of TheBat Email Client. (You can also UPPERCASE any word by pressing Ctrl+[, but I've solved it using macros)

3. Optional 'Cascade view' for source code files, just like some editors in KDE/Linux. This would add a [+] [-] to expand/collapse text for sentences like 'while','for','if', etc...

Thanks!

Howdy Alariva and welcome to the boards

#1 Probably follows falls under another poll of making all the settings easily exported.

#2 I've never noticed that feature in The Bat, I'll have to check it out.
For your case changing needs:
ctrl U will uppercase
ctr-L will lower case
ctrl-shift U will upper case the first letter of each word,
ctrl-K will invert the case
ctrl-shift-K will sentence case a selection

Or you can go Edit, Change Case and select them from there

#3 can be voted off if you check the polls under Code Folding I believe.

I need to skeedaddle to a meeting but search this forum and you can find those and other polls that discuss enhancements to our beloved TextPad.
