Kevin Jones:

Also screen readers have a say-all command where
basically they just keep pressing the down-arrow and speak the text
non-stop to the end of the document. When in the Scite editor it will do
this for a time and then randomly stop but jaws thinks it's still going.

  Don't know which particular commands Jaws is using. Maybe it is a
focus issue.

I've thought it would be nice if scite had an ugly-but-fast mode where
it didn't draw beautifly on the screen but handled large files quicker,
maybe also it might fix those screen reader problems.

  Don't think so as speaking the text is so slow and SciTE should be
able to keep up as the slowest things in SciTE are handled
incrementally.

Another thing I'd like to see is a command that would put selected text
into a separate document window.

  You can script SciTE in Lua and you can control it from another application.

Have you thought of adding more features that are say in other text
editors like notepad textpad but still keeping it able to run on o pandrive.

  I don't think in terms of adding features for their own sake or for
other people. Sometimes there is something I want SciTE to do and I'll
implement it. This is how Open Source mostly works: people add
features that they want.

How about an addition to the move to line command, so you could enter n%
and it would move to the n percent of th edocument, or you could have it
display percentage instead of lines

  Source code tends to be thought of in terms of line numbers since
other tools like compilers will refer to specific lines in error
messages. When scrolling by proportion most people tend to use the
scroll bar rather than have to think: its about a third of the way
down so try 30%. Possibly its less easy for you to use the scroll bar
rather than a dialog.
