right: TexEdit  does have brace matching
and direct line access. And it is very "Mac like" (HUI).
What is very important to me is
s e a r c h i n g   a n d   c o l o r i n g
and  c u s t o m   c o l o r i n g, depending on what
I  am working with and aiming at.


Not only the MacPerl Editor should be improved, but
S  h  u  c  k   as well.
(Shuck is really great in its ease of use!)
Shuck should have   t r u e   l i n k s ,   so we can build
menues and dispatchers; something like this, e.g.:

In MacPerl, if you highlite "&" and press Command H,
than a window opens with this choice:
  &my_subroutine  --> sub
  &&   --> logical AND
  $&    --> what is found  --> regex
  &&=  --> (assignement) operator
a.s.f.;
and each line clickable to reach the explanation.
I think this would be a great help for all learners.


And another wish:
MacPerl would gain a lot of elegance if we could have
a command " p r i n t l ";
so instead of writing
   print $i++, "\n" ;
one could type
   printl $i++;
this for sure looks better and saves lots of
keyboard acrobatic.
