I had done exactly the same. Actually, as part of my tinkering I overhauled the tags system, in particular to allow for proper management of scoped names in C++ and Java - as provided bu Exuberant Ctags; adding progress indications for large tag files (I use a 130MB one at work), allowing for a decompression filter to be called (since that tags file is so big!), and rendering the tag duplicates dialog entries as "columns" (actually just adjusted with spaces, but as close to the right number needed for the text, in the font used, to be rendered correctly). On the strength of that I added formatting and multiple fonts to calltips too. If anyone's interested, the current state is here: http://ajbj.free.fr/nedit/neditHome/neditWork-2010-06-16.tar.bz2 - which is now rather distant from current CVS. A picture of the dialog can be found here: http://ajbj.free.fr/nedit/neditHome/nedit%20tag%20dups%20with%20or%20without%20scope.png - other pictures in the same directory.
