No live bracket or tag highlighting (although you can match a single bracket by hitting a key-command), and no bracket completion (typing an open paren, quote, curly-brace, etc., automatically prints the close character after the cursor).No workspace-specific configuration, and no way to associate macros or clips to specific syntaxes.
It’s Clip Library is a poor replacement for true auto-completion.It’s also missing basic features found in lots of other editors: And especially: Fast key-driven navigation around and within open files.Regex (including their excellent WildEdit product).What TextPad does well, it does really well: : Added SmartCursor plugin to TextPad section.: Added command for displaying current file in sidebar directory tree to first-tips.: Added sftp-project-file tip to first-tips.For me, the only major improvement during all this time, has been changing its regex engine to a POSIX-y like thing to a truly Perl-compatible Boost (ignoring its look-behind issues). Unfortunately, the developers of TextPad are notoriously non-communicative, and the current version has basically been the same for about ten years. I’ve been a stalwart–nay, evangalistic– TextPad user for much of that time. Beyond debugging and auto-building, I’ve never used an IDE.
