So let's put an end to it, ok? [Greek-myth-mode] You're the boss, Hades! :-) but you must concede that x2 windows are already doing what you want, so the future looks good I sure do and it sure does. So you thought of it and I didn't notice. All the better. but don't quote me on that yet! I won't t...

Nikos, just wanting to mention something quickly which hit me using the find window again. Hitting enter in the find window selects the file in question in the file pane in the background while the focus stays on the find window. So far so good. But isn't it possible to apply your "alt-modifier...

One question about search & replace in your editors. Usually it remembers the last input o.k. But why is it it can't remember that the last replace action was empty (for deletion of strings). Is that by design? And to the announced ruthless comparison to another editor I found. I love editor2 de...

This pricelessware I didn't know yet. It's, well, priceless. :-) I'm always interested in good freeware. And also I think that we should talk about useful free extensions to 2x or x2 (but probably I misunderstood your "inappropriate"). Maybe it even deserves its own tips topic. I think bot...

You know what? I can't reproduce it anymore either. Must have been one of those inexplicable Windows quirks. I don't know. The only thing I notice is that one can't switch from read-only rtf mode to editor mode while it's possible to open an rtf file with codes with the editor and switch to read-onl...

Hey, I didn't notice. There's a modifier for the mouse for creating shortcuts without a keyboard equivalent for the keyboard-oriented people? Ts, Ts! Where's your soft spot, Nikos? ;-) Maybe even Ctrl-Shft-F5 for creating link in the active pane (can be useful for moving that one directly with F6 to...

how are you trying to use it? As default association or from  the command line? Started from the command line. Tried to open with Ctrl-O i don't know, did you enclose path+file in quotes, for avoiding space problems? No (see above). But I avoided space problems. Also using an 8.3 filename and a sim...

I'm with Nikos here. I know this "colour scheme" from WinCommander and I don't like it that much. But I'm curious where your problem lies. the highlighted file in the active pane is dark blue. The one in the inactive pane is grey. Can this be confused? I follow the blue bar naturally with ...

A little payback for all the inconvenience I'm causing is well-deserved :-) Still I'm encountering problems. When I start it in /V mode and try to open a rtf file I get the warning I/O accessing "path\filename" and the German message Der Vorgang wurde ausgeführt (meaning something like &qu...

Well, try to see me as an angel of Genesis instead! :-) Actually I have to admit I haven't checked the abilities of editor2 sufficiently so my first statement has lost some of its value. I didn't realise the "read-only" option (F6) of editor2 which essentially is still the viewer I'd like ...

Forgot to mention some more fuzz. :-) I dislike losing features (at least those not being bugs). Right now I can use the internal viewer to view RTF-files in a readable format with no fuzz which I use more often than I expected. I guess I'm right to assume this is lost in your editor-only-I-hope-it-...

The find window is one of my favourites, too, but, uhm, the details view is persistent on my PC. Did you check the general save settings box?

clarification: I expected F3/F4 to stay. Statement stays the same. I like the inbuilt versions. :-)

Whoa, actually I like having the viewer-only option and use it frequently. Dito the internal editor since I use it for quick tasks, but still use a more refined editor like TextPad as external one for more complicated matters (Mind you, I'd still prefer a slightly different use of the keyboard short...

I, as one of the keyboard-oriented people, I'm very pleased with the shortcut. Does my vivid imagination match the reality if I hope this works directly from the search result window (like it does for the text viewer and editor)? This would be a major benefit (and the main reason of my asking) since...
