Hi Ajith – I forgot to mention that – it does auto-complete quotes and brackets. That actually annoys me because then I expect it to auto-complete everything.

I didn’t upgrade this site yet either :-) This was from a site I was working on.

Yep. I actually do most of my edits right in Wordpress. Saves the hassle of FTPing stuff all over the place. Now that it has numbers and all I reckon I'll have even less need of the FTP program. Sire´s last blog post - From Birth To Realization Of The Word

Kim, Just like you, I am really looking forward to the syntax highlighting as I keep making changes to the theme code on the fly and many times forget the end php tag or a semicolon. Though, a dropdown of functions is great...the ideal thing would have been intellisense (code completion) which will be too much to ask on a web editor :lol: Thanks for the review...

Hi John – I don’t want to scroll either :-)

Hi Sire – I’ve only tried it in Firefox – I haven’t even looked at it in IE. So far, I haven’t used Chrome. And you are right – it’s a lot easier to find a line of code – the line numbering is a great idea.

How can they expect us to work with code where there is no wrap function. That's an absolute must. I've used Edit Plus for my text editor. Dreamweaver works well, too. John Hoff - WpBlogHost´s last blog post - Time For A Rant About Poor Customer Service (HelloThemes.com)

One thing I noticed is that while it worked in FireFox, it didn't work with Google Chrome, at least not the last time I looked anyway. I have to admit it does make it easier when referring to a particular line for editing. Sire´s last blog post - The Argument For Paid Reviews

Hi Davina – Very true. I usually try to keep my expectations low – then
I am rarely disappointed and sometimes pleasantly surprised.

I’m not brilliant :-) It’s just what I am interested in. There’s lot of things
I’m terrible at – like knitting – I can’t figure it out.

Hi John – I would be happy if word wrap was enabled – I can live with
all of the other aspects.

Hi Kim. It is interesting how we can get excited about new things and our expectations get way ahead of us. All this coding looks and sounds way too complicated for me. You have a brilliant mind. Davina´s last blog post - It’s All About Me — Or Is It?
