1. Edita feature request
Pete,
I've been using Crimson for a good many years, but would like to use Edita to
for some of it's functions(like the backups). Not having these backups has
gotten me into trouble a couple of time when I had to back out changes.
There are a couple of nice features that crimson has that I have found quite
useful. One is to highlight some text and hit F3 to search forward for the
text. 2nd is to highlight some text and hit shift F3 and search backwards for
the text. I never knew how much I used these features until I didn't have them.
Would this be possible to impliment??

Hmmm, thanks. I guess I'll have to try and fix it.

CK, do you know if the Edita exe is bound (I can do) or c compiled (which I
can't do)?

No, I don't know. :/

This is currently implemented as Ctrl Shift F3.

With the change that ckl pointed out, Shift F3 does this - but only if you have
not already got a valid search target. You might want to change:
if selON and equal(getText(findtext),"") then
to just:
if selON then
(Refer to the link ckl gave if you get lost.)
If it works as you want, I'll have to dream up a sensible-sounding option to
toggle this. You could also make some minor changes to F3key() in eafind.ew say
to use F3 instead of Ctrl Shift F3, and the same would apply in that I'd want to
add an option somewhere to toggle the behaviour from the existing.
Please post a revised version of F3key() to the list once you're done.
Edita is just bound, not converted to C, you'll be glad to hear.
If I don't get anywhere faster in the next couple of weeks, I might just give up
and upload a "re-Beta" version of it and beg for help to fix all the new bugs
I've been slowly adding...
Regards,
Pete
