   Hello everyone,

   I was looking for an editor to work well with large files. I started with Vim but, as I am working in Windows, I got my line endings screwed up twice (and had to edit various thousands of lines of C# code in order to kill the annoying "^M" thing) before I decided to abandon it.

   I have started using Programmer's Notepad only today. Looks like it deals with large files fine.

   I got 2 questions & would appreciate any help.

   1. How do I get screen to move 1 line (instead of 4 lines) at a time when I move my cursor downwards or upwards in the page?
   Ctrl-ArrowUp and Ctrl-ArrowDown is not a solution because it doesn't move the cursor, only the screen.

   2. Bug? I open a file, search for a string inside the file, I get no instances of the string in the file so I get the warning pop-up, & with the pop-up open I use <ALT> + <TAB> to see my other open windows, but there is no way to go back to Programmer's Notepad using <ALT> + <TAB> because I CANNOT SEE it. The only way I have to bring the window to view is to move the pointer of my mouse & click on the taskbar.

   Thanks in advance,
   Jay

   1. This is a configuration option of the editor component that isn't currently available in the user interface. I think there is already a patch on sourceforge for it, so it will probably appear in one form or another in a future release.

   2. I just tried to reproduce this and couldn't seem to:

   a. search for "cheese"
   b. no results found, so dialog appears
   c. press <ALT>+<TAB> to switch away
   d. press <ALT>+<TAB> to switch back

   This seemed to work fine for me. What OS are you using?

   Thanks.
