This is one awesome editor. I finally found an editor which can replace textpad.
I have a few feature-requests/improvements, listed in order of preference:
1) In PHP (and a few other languages), variables always begin with a $ sign. It would be nice if the editor knew that this sign is part of the word, so that when you doubleclick the variable or hold down Ctrl and use the arrows to move through text, one word at a time, the $ is considered part of the name.
2) Possibility to launch a user-defined help-file from a keyboard-accelerator, preferably calling it with the text at cursor as a search argument. I used this feature a lot textpad, and I'm missing it.
3) Regex search when searching in files would be nice.
4) Optional auto-convert tabs to spaces on document load.
5) Optional strip superfluous whitespace chars from end of line on save.
6) The tiny toolbar at the bottom ... how about giving an option to hide it? I like as little distraction as possible, so I tend to disable all toolbars/docks/whatever.
