Hi Maxim
MM> 1. What are the disadvantages of "Windows Editor" comparing to "MicroEd",
MM> and what features of "MicroEd" that you are really using, you are missing in
MM> "Windows Editor"?
I've never really used Windows Editor, but I just gave it a whirl to refresh my
memory about why not. Here's what I missed, and what I love about MicroEd.
1. Free caret, smart tabbing and intuitive WYSIWYG editing.
I write very many messages containing tabular information, which these
features of MicroEd make as easy as drawing the table on paper.
2. Smart indenting.
I also write very many messages containing nested lists. (Rather like this
one. :) ) Again, MicroEd really helps me out here.
OK, so if I want to ask for the moon, I'd like smart indenting to recognise
that I'm writing a numbered/bulleted list and indent using hanging
paragraphs. But then if you gave me that I'd only whinge until you also
provided autonumbering/autobulleting for lists, and maybe even a feature
that could underline (using the character of my choice, of course :) ) as I
type. :)
I fully recognise, BTW, that it may only be me who uses MicroEd instead of
Word most of the time. :)
3. Nice quote handling.
Now here one *can* place paragraphs right next to one another using a
single line break - all by the magic of either changing the initials in the
quote or even just the number of '>'s. Fantastic!
OK, you knew this was coming. Just occasionally it'd be nice to be able to
use the indenting and quoting features together for the same paragraph/s.
4. Removal of trailing space from lines/messages. (Can't decide whether not
wanting to do this manually is slightly lazy or wanting to do this at all is
really sad. :) But I do hear that resounding chorus of, "Both!")
5. Speed/responsiveness.
