nikos,
It didn't start out that way, but, with no fanfare, Editor² has gradually become my preferred text editor because of how nicely it is integrated with xplorer². Well done!
There is, however, an inconsistent (and therefore annoying) 'feature' regarding its handling of "end of line" when selecting/cutting/pasting a whole line.
I know you must know what I mean, but I will describe it anyway for other user feedback on the need to fix it
... or to tell me to "get over it already"
In most cases**, when an entire line is selected, and then "cut", the end-of-line (EOL) characters OD,OA are cut also; but when pasting the selection, the EOL characters are missing, requiring an extra "Return" keystroke to manually enter them.
I would much appreciate it if this inconsistent 'feature' could be removed such that what is pasted matches what is cut. ;)
Cheers!

** except when a line is selected from right end to left end, then the EOL characters are not part of the selection.

I wish, at least, tabs and synthax highlighting
Until then, Notepad++ is my choice!
(but, to be honest, editor2 IS my default text editor on my laptop - it is even on my Start menu see here: http://www.zoniweb.com/mypc/ )

Full UNICODE support
Not only that, it can also handle my non-Latin system default encoding. Amazing.
I love how xplorer2 is UNICODE-conscious. It's puzzling to me that so many (even new) file managers and editors are still this day and age not FULLY supporting it despite the fact that Windows went to UNICODE a long time ago.

It would be much nicer with a Spell Checker
It sort of resembles a word processor, though I don't think that is what its for. Since I can't spell worth a darn, anything I use to work with words needs a spell checker.
Have a look at DeskPins http://users.forthnet.gr/pat/efotinis/p ... kpins.html
