Hi,
I am not connected to this project – but this ugly duckling is transforming into a beautiful swan.

Strong support for the keyboard, and a command palette, means BowPad now offers exceptional functionality for a single 5MB executable. As of version 2.9.3.3092:
– Minimise ribbon to a small customisable toolbar
– Multiple document tabs
– Folding
– Dark Mode
– Live Spell Checking
– Tree-view explorer view
– Abbreviations
– Autocomplete from contents
– Clipboard history
– Goto last edit
– Auto-indent tabs or spaces
– Soft wrapping
– Drag and drop editing
– Open selected filename
– Open URL
– Regular Expression find/replace
– Find in files
– Custom Keyboard shortcuts
– Bookmarks
– Save/restore sessions
– Quick launcher to call tools
– Tail -F mode
– Plugins using vb or JScript
There are things I don’t like:
– Busy status bar cannot be hidden
– Bold font on Tabs
– Minor issues assigning keyboard shortcuts
– Powerful, but non-standard find/replace
– No incremental find
The metamorphosis continues, perhaps it’s worth another look.
Kind Regards Gavin Holt
