Search field in editor / (de-)comment functio

    Hi,

    I come directly from UE to use this nice editor (UE doesn't recognize any 0 (zeros) as input characters and I don't know why *lol*)

    I have some questions to features of the editor:

    the first one is that I am missing a quick search-field (drop-down box) under the menue-"line" of the editor. This Func I know from UE, Keil µVision, Kile (latex) and many other editors and it's very useful.

    The second is a problem...
    I think it will be better to make two menue-entrys for commenting and decommenting code.
    When you have (vhdl)

       -- stop writing
        --address <=      "0000000";
        address <= (others => '0');
        --datain  <= "000000000000";
        datain  <= (others => '0');
        we <= '0';
        wait until rising_edge(clock);
    and you wand to comment the whole block out, you comment the code and de-comment the commented code :-)
    And it would be nice to create key-shortcuts (defineble) for thet, for example strg-alt x/v (like strg-x/v).

    The problem with editors is, that it's hard to find one that has all the features I want to have. Most editors have a few features I want, and many others I don't need ;-)
    Notepad++ seems to have most of the features I want to have, thats why I am using it now :-)

    What I miss is automatic code (or word) completion, but I already found that it will slow down the editor too much (why? UE, Kile, eclipse, ... can do this).

      and what about the search field (drop down) ?
      I think this feature could be as easy to implement as two entrys for de- / comment *smile*

      --> thar notepad++ becomes the greatest editor ever :-)

      for autocompletion try ctrl+shift+space

      for the comment behaviour I agree and share your problems
