Considering using jEdit
Submitted by ineuw on Friday, 22 January, 2010 - 02:48
I am considering switching from TextPad 5.31 and was wondering about several features if they are available.

1. Editing macros.
2. Assigning macros to keyboard shortcuts.
3. Rectangular area selected copy and paste
4. Toggle word wrap with the keyboard.

Your'e welcome!

1. Editing macros.
The integrated scripting language is Beanshell. It is Java without the need of strongly typing (see http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/beanshell-intro.html ). Via Plugins You should be able to use JavaScript or Groovy and maybe others. A basic version of a macro can be recorded.

2. Assigning macros to keyboard shortcuts. - Easy
3. Rectangular area selected copy and paste - Easy

4. Toggle word wrap with the keyboard.
Yes, after You have assigned a keyboard shortcut to the "toggle-word-wrap" action, which is - You're guessing it - Easy Smiling
