Tide is a real-time text editor for the ROX desktop, based on Thomas
Leonard's Edit (although Tide may seem a bit backwards compared to
Edit). Instead of the user manually 'saving' a file, Tide automatically
writes the file out as you edit it. Tide focuses on controlled
minimalism, particularly noticable in the size of the preferences
dialog. It is intended primarily for programmers, featuring syntax
highlighting, and a jump-to-line function.

Changed in Tide 1.1:
- Various regression fixes wrt. minibuffers
- Default size is now 80 characters by 25 lines, with allowances for
scrollbars, instead of 2/3 the screen width and half the screen height.
- Completely removed code for Bookmarks. They weren't working properly,
anyway.
- Removed option for showing line numbers.
- Default tab width is now 4 instead of 8
- Search and goto 'help' buttons now use the 'help' stock icon, instead
of the 'information' stock icon.
- All code and comments now wrapped at 79 characters, as recommended by
the Python style guide (PEP 8)
- Renamed 'Search' and 'Search and Replace' to 'Find' and 'Find and
Replace'
- Changed default keyboard shortcuts:
'Find' to <Ctrl>F (was F4)
'Find and Replace' to <Ctrl>R (was <Ctrl>F4)
'Goto line' to <Ctrl>G (was F5)
- Tweaked description in the zero-install interface
- Added local feed
