Feature request

[Arjan van Dijk]

Hi,

Recently I found the freeware text-editor named PSPad at www.pspad.com.
It only runs on a Windows-system, but it has some interesting features.
As a feature-request for NEdit, I would like to have your attention for the
following
in particular:

- Backlight-marked diff of two files in vertically split-screen. On the
left you
have one version of a document, on the right a different
version. Any scrolling is done synchronized. Additions from left version to
right
version are marked in green backlighting, deletions in red backlighting and
"other modifications" in orange. Layout is adapted such that maximum
similarity is achieved. Very handy!

- You can put a vertical hair-line at a column. In FORTRAN most
compilers truncate source after the 72-th position. With the hairline
set after the 72-th position, I never make mistakes with this anymore.

- You can select whether or not the editor has to trim trailing spaces off
each line.

- Independently from the former item, you can indicate if you want the
cursor
to follow the ragged end-of-line locations during scrolling with the
arrow-keys,
or allow it to go beyond the end-of-line (without modifying the text as
long as you
don't type).

- Use multiple spaces instead of tab. Also during smart-indenting.

Can someone from the development team please consider adoption of
these features in an update of NEdit? The diff-option is the most
innovative thing
in this list.

Thanks!

Regards,

Arjan
