Description of requirements/features: How to Edit: Overview
TextPad loads an entire file into memory when you edit it, so the original file is not changed until you save the changes. You can opt to keep the original file as a backup when saving changes, and to keep it locked while you edit it.

UNIX, Mac and PC files use different end of line characters, which TextPad automatically recognizes. These will be preserved when you save the file, unless you choose to save with a different format, using the Save As command.

If a file has long lines, you can choose to scroll horizontally when the line extends beyond the right margin, or have words wrapped at the right margin, or at a specified column position. Hard line breaks can be inserted where words are wrapped, or the file can be saved with long lines, which you can think of as paragraphs. You can configure these settings using the Preferences command and selecting the corresponding document class page on the Preferences dialog box.

The basic functions for moving around in the text, and making simple edits follow the conventions of other Windows applications, so you can get started immediately. The more powerful editing commands are all on the menus, with their shortcuts shown against them, so you should be able to get up to speed quickly.

Any changes you make (except converting the code set between DOS and ANSI) can be undone, and you can redo changes you undo. You can opt to undo even after saving the changes, using the Preferences command and selecting the Editor page on the Preferences dialog box.

You can record the commands to make repetitive edits as keystroke macros, which you can playback on different parts of the text.
