Hey, HUTCH, How long did it take you to code the Quick Editor ???

Have you tried to convince the MS Office people? Or Adobe? Firefox at least has banned it into an extra menu ("History").

QuoteWhat I'd REALLY like to see as an innovative feature added to the Quick Editor is a function that monitors the current coding location, and,...if you do SOMETHING INCREDIBLY STUPID,...it has a built-in artificial sense of humor that alerts you with a flashing window message (in a LARGE font, of course),...to the effect:

YOU MORON !!! YOU'VE MADE THE SAME IDIOTIC ERROR SEVEN TIMES NOW !!!

It has been done already:

That editor had a built-in syntax check, i.e. it really forced you to write in a particular manner - you could not leave the current line if you had an error! PLING PLING PLING PLING until you either corrected your error, or you commented out that line. A major nuisance indeed, especially if you had (like me) sources in the 20,000+ lines range :(

Sorry Gunther but I cannot help you there, I will not live long enough to comprehend Linux and that would be if I could be bothered.  :P

If it wasn't for your toolset, I'd be over on the dark (errr, Linux) side now.  Glad I haven't had to make that move yet.  :-)
