See EditPad Lite instead.

Copy-and-paste into the application still has troubles. Presumably this is due to the magic of Tk. Try using shift-insert instead of control-v. Or, while in the application do control-c on some blank text, and then go to your other application, copy again and then paste into editpad. This problem also seems to exist in editpad pro.
- The solution seems to be to use klipper and select “Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection” and “ignore selection”.
- See also autocutsel (props)

autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork
autocutsel -selection CLIPBOARD -fork

Cannot highlight and press delete or type to overwrite the selection. // There are issues with highlighting not stopping when I cursor. I don’t understand why it’s set up that way, but it gets stuck after I use it.

I sometimes lose the cursor. =( I can get it back by going to help > about and then clicking ‘thanks’.

TODO – doublecheck that the pro version does not have this list of wanted features.

Does not properly remember the directory I opened files in
Cannot remove the toolbar
Remembers the last files opened (insecure) – should be able to specify how many previous files are remembered (including 0)
Be able to axe trailing / leading spaces/tabs
Be able to save/edit .rtf files
Does not remember the last “find” text
Use control-page up/down just like control-tab/control-shit-tab to move between documents
As per edit.exe, when pasting, don’t move the cursor (or have an option to switch between that and the “standard” (gag) windows method.
Should display the full filename and path instead of “editpad lite” at the top on the blue bar.
If another .txt file is referenced in an http:// tag, load it into editpad when it’s clicked on. (easy to do if it’s local, but I’d like to see it possible remotely as well). Hell, make a tag and replace gopher. =)

Ruby is now natively supported.

Editplus originally had Ruby support done via third-party files.
