1. Edita: How To Add Ctrl+W As "Close Tab" Quick Key

Ctrl+w is pretty standard across tons of editors, so I'm quite used to it. How can I add that keystroke combo and functionality to Edita?

In edita.exw, in function charInput() at line 4832 you should find 

        elsif keycode = 23 then selectWord(1)           -- Ctrl W (Select Word)

And in the same file, in function virtualKey2() at line 5414 you should find 

        elsif keycode = VK_F4 then 
            if control then 
                if isEnabled(TC) then 
                    closeFile() 
                end if 
            else

So I think, but I haven't tested this, you should be able to change the top one to 

--      elsif keycode = 23 then selectWord(1)           -- Ctrl W (Select Word) 
        elsif keycode = 23 then closeFile()             -- Ctrl W (Close Tab)

Of course that will go AWOL whenever a new version is shipped. (TIP: just make sure you have a pre-compiled version before you start editing the sources.)

In the planned replacement you should be able to achieve this via Options/Keyboard settings, and it'll be preserved across updates.

Pete
