Thanks for the +ve feedback. I had an option in my mail reader [Agent]
unchecked: "delete messages from server". I just found everything was
bouncing 'cos the server had amassed 8,148 messages (!!)

No. Size of fonts in Options, Colours. But actual font, no. If you
really mean that show me an example & I'll try to follow, but on the
whole the editor needs to work in fixed/non-proportional font, so
changing from courier to anything else seems pointless to me.
Like I said though, show me an example & I'll try.

It is not "great" or "brilliant", I admit: Simple & quick is all:
Alt T, M; then press a key you want to use (eg F8).
Now edit a section of your file in a way you want to repeat.
Then press F8 again.
At this point, the "macro" has been defined. Press F8 and the
keystrokes between the last two times F8 were pressed are repeated.
It does not cater for any pop-ups such as find, compare, print, open,
close, options, help, etc, or anything invoked via the menus.
I recommend that F3 (find next), or whatever key moves you to the next
point you (may) want to repeat the macro from is the last key hit
between the two F8 of defining the macro.
Improvements/suggestions are welcome. Pre-defined macros anyone?
Define a macro in a source file anyone? Thoughts please.
The current implementation really is very trivial so anyone getting
their wishes in first, I an probably code it no problem.

I have coded autocomplete, and re-format (re-indent). I am near the
end of coding context-sensitive help & when that's done you'll get the
lot )
The way I have coded autocomplete is slightly different. Space does
not trigger the autocompletion, rather delimits it. An example is key
"int" of "integer " (note the final space) and it auto-completes.
Carry on keying (part of) the "eger " bit (again note the final space)
and it ignores you. Any point between, space or non-expected letter
delimits the autocompletion.
Hmm-part: Keying "intdecode" leaves "integer decode" in the file, but
"intencode" will output "integer ncode",
However, keying "int " (yet again note the final space) *always*
behaves consistently. It is a compromise, but a good one I think.
I've also got backspace inserting an else/elsif then, which is
sometimes cool, sometimes annoying.
"proc"edre, "fun"ction", "typ"e, "if", "wh"ile, "for", "int"eger,
"seq"ence", "con"stant, "pri"ntf are the current set.
There is a flag too, to enable/diasable it all.
There is a problem with "global" & some related restrictions on column
handling I need to resolve before release though.
OK,OK! There is an alpha available on my site:
http://palacebuilders.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/euphoria.html
please note I'm mid-way through several bits & bobs; don't be
surprised if a trace window pops up, ?9/0 happens, etc, etc...
