/ Terribly sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this, but I guess this is where the devs will see it first! :) /
I tend to use notepad++ a lot to write my code, and dev-cpp to compile and debug it. It would be neat to have some more of the npp functionality in dev; one I'm missing sorely is the parenthesis highlighting, where if your cursor is near a parenthesis or bracket, it lights up red along with its closing/opening parenthesis/bracket. Another thing I've been having problems with is the reload-file-function, where dev some times will not notice that the file has been altered by another program. As for another text editing function I would love to see, there's the option to use tabs or spaces, you should really take a look at how notepad++ makes indentation fun.
Cheers!
