Outline View
Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2005 5:06 pm
I have been using TextPad as my editor of choice for what seems like forever, and have yet to find an editor that I like better. I recently purchased a Pocket PC, with the intent of being able to carry around my source code in a very small form factor. Unfortunately, there is no version of TextPad available for Pocket PC, so I had to find an alternative for use on the Pocket PC. I was able to find a product called CEdit that seems to do the trick. One of the really nice features of CEdit is an outline mode that basically collapses the source file and shows the individual sections that make up the source file. Clicking on a section name takes you directly to that section. I think it would be great if the same thing would be possible in TextPad. I routinely work with source files that are between 60 and 160K, and it can be time consuming jumping around from section to section. An outline mode would help tremendously.
