I love jEdit, it resembles my all time linux editor Kate with the window splitting. jEdit has many functionalities, but one that could aid a programmer in getting work done _how_ they want to, would be:

On keyPresses deleting left or right bracket (from ex:" (test) ") would find the first closing or opening bracket and delete it as well. If the word 'test' was another longer word, moving the cursor to the beginning or ending of the word by means of arrow keys or CTRL + arrow keys takes longer to perform since it has 2x as many presses of the backspace button.

One change doesn't make a difference, but if your going through a stack status conditions and there's a lot of manipulation going on, it would come as a great help;

I hope you implement it. I am hooked on jEdit while on 'doze.

Thanks
