W00t ! :) Can you purlease look at brief emulation too please, pretty please, at least as far as key bindings go. This is a major-league issue for us old hackers. Brief goes back to the dark days of dos but was so wickedly ace that practically everyone of that age hates living without it even now (DevStudio doesn't do 100% either, but at least column cut n paste works!). Newer guys who've not had the pleasure of Brief only don't complain coz they never had chance to try it! :) > Repeat as often as needed and position them on top of each other > so that they occupy the same space and have tabs to pick them apart You've obviously not seen how many source files and headers I have. I actually started doing this and got bored knowing that I'd screw it up later if not now. In the meantime I have non MDI, all the widgets windows on monitor 2 and just fullscreen my source on monitor 1. Thanks for the suggestion though :) > Please file a bug report on the size retention problem -- this may have > already been fixed for the IDE we're including in 9.2, but it would be good > to have it logged here Where would I do that please ?
