Context menu belonging to the editing area: Cut Paste Copy Delete ------ Select all Edit menu additionally: Search Replace Search previous Search next Context menu belonging to the file tabs: Close Perhaps some people would like to have the search/replace commands in the edit menu, while others would prefer to have them in a separate menu. The Total Commander reads the content of all menus (except of the context menus) at startup from a text file. (I can send it to you if you want.) So each user can configure the menus her/himself individually. Perhaps you like to apply that idea to Edita. > Maybe I should have an option whether to display keyboard shortcuts > on the context menu? That would be nice IMHO. Someday people would like to translate Edita to other languages. I can imagine to do so (-> German), this is not a promise though. Maybe you can save all menu entries and other text in a way, that supports translation. I'm distributing some programs both in English and German. All text is stored in constants. There are two included files 'prog_en.e' and 'prog_de.e' where the actual text is assigned to the constants. Formerly, I had to change one of the commands "include prog_en.e" or "include prog_de.e" to a comment, now all this is handled by my preprocessor. Also important IMHO (and easy to do): Open (at least) one file that is given on the command-line. This would also provide the simples way to allow to "associate" files (such as .txt, .e, .ex etc.) with Edita. Regards, Juergen
