Thanks for the help with hot keys vbr, I've set the default key to be Ctrl+Alt+F, I think you're right that it could cause some issues using Ctrl+F, I'll leave it up to the user to change the default key mapping if they really want to.
I've also removed the maximise and minimise buttons as per your suggestion MrSpock, I found that if you tried minimising phReplace it actually minimised PSPad as well which is definitely not expected behaviour so it's better not to have them. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,34061,34382> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
