Suggested Textpad enhancements

[joconnell]

I've been using TextPad for some years now. The fact that there have been no new releases for a while doe not bother me in the least - TP does most of what I need with speed and efficiency, and it's very stable.

However, TP would do everything I could ever need from a text editor if the following features were added (in order of importance to me):

-Code folding/collapsing like in HomeSite and Visual Studio.NET
-a cursor position breadcrumb trail which can be navigated via Prev and Next buttons (this would surely be a trivial change)
-the ability to jump to a function definition from from within the same file
-Hex editing with the ability to toggle between text and hex view where appropriate
-Parenthesis/braces matching could be extended to handle the "begin..end" and "if..endif" constructs of Delphi and VB
-A proper scripting language - I saw ECMAScript mentioned in this forum - that'd be ace!

Other than that, keep up the good work!

I second the request for Code folding/collapsing like in HomeSite and Visual Studio.NET.

It would also be very useful, when looking at XML documents.

Thanks for the great program!

Cheers,
