Windows editors - do they have to be so bad?
f0dder:
OK, but in practice I find editors tend not to enable access to STDIN etc. to user tools.

I can't recall seeing STDIN support (and never needed it), but the editors I've used that supports user tools have been able to capture STDOUT.
Good point: I grew up with persistent selections. From your last sentence, I presume those features must be present in NPP, so I suppose I'd better go and look for them :)

Nope, I've gotten used to living without them :) - I'm contemplating coding a "mark-begin, mark-end" plugin though :)

I'm hankering after wider availability of TED Notepad's ability to send text through a filter and overwrite the original marked text with the modified text... ;)

NPP 5.3.1 has "TextFX Quick" features Find Matching Brace, Mark to Matching Brace, Delete Matching Brace Pair, Mark Lines to Matching Brace. Those aren't bad work-arounds.
f0dder:
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of TextFX though - too much functionality in one plugin, and lots of it work somewhat weirdly (using numbers copied to the clipboard and such).
mwb1100:
In fact the 3.94a version is so different from the latest Zeus it can be downloaded free of charge from this link:

<erm> Jussi, does that mean free download, i.e. you don't have to pay to download a trial, or free software, i.e. you don't have to pay to keep and use it? Or is there a lower fee for the older version?

I'm not Jussi, but I've downloaded and installed it and it appears to be a 'registered' copy upon installation. There's no indication of having an expiration or being an evaluation copy as there is in the install of the more recent versions.
kartal:
wow, that is cool, I will definetely give a go.
