   Hi,

   I've sent an e-mail about 2 months ago, but got no reply so I'm retrying here.

   First of all I want to say that Programmer's Notepad is really great and I've been using it for some time now (switched from Notepad2). However, I miss one great feature of Notepad2 - the ability to globally add line spacing. As Notepad2 is also based on Scintilla, the trick that worked there also works in PNotepad. Namely, you can add the line spacing by increasing Brace Match/Brace Mismatch font size. However, this was an easy thing to do in Notepad2, because I could change this property globally for all the schemes. In PNotepad I have to do it for every scheme I use separately which is a bit annoying. Is there any way to change this globally?

   Other things that would help me a lot would be:
   - an ability to scroll the opened tabs by a mouse wheel (like in Firefox when you hover the tabs bar) and not only by those arrows on the right
   - an explorer Window (for people who don't like creating projects, like me ;) to open new files easily in PNotepad

   Thanks for your great work.

   or maybe opera style? right click + scroll to go through the tabs?

   explorer windows - yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

   and something new (i don't know if anyone besides would like that, but...)
   something called garbage collector - i often want to test some pice of code and i want
   it saved somewhere... if anybody uses maxthon 2 there is grabage collector - a simple
   window with tabs - you can write there anything and it will automatically save it's contents - you don't have to worry about WHERE it will be saved - becouse it's not important where - the important thing is to access it quickly and that it will be persistent - this would be very, very cool.

   btw. pn2 rox, even notepad++ can't match, although it has more character/string manipulatiors, but it can be done ;)

   i forgot - can tags window be configured by some script or something? i really would like to create myself windows like in VS, where i can have my classes, my variables, my functions, etc. i know that it highlights functions, but i'd like variables too, and some icons to recognize them?

   There *will* be an explorer window added at some point in the not-too-distant future.

   I'll look at the mouse-scroll tabs thing - is there an RFE on sourceforge for it?

   I just checked in the global styles page and re-organised scheme configuration. You now have options that look like this (subject to change):

   Schemes:
   |- Basic
   |- Styles
   |- Advanced

   Basic is the current page allowing you to choose the default font and size. Styles is the new page allowing setting of styles that cover all of the schemes (i.e. keywords in all schemes, brace match in all schemes). Advanced is the current scheme configuration page allowing per-scheme adjustment of individual styling elements.

   This makes it much easier to change look and feel for the whole of PN. I'll also be adding a pre-defined style sets feature to allow PN to ship with a default "dark" configuration etc.
