Delphi 2005 like editor.
Unlimited text length.
Fast working even with huge files (several megabytes).
UNICODE support (IME, right-to-left ...).
100% customizable lexer, so editor is suitable for any plane text format. Lexer is a resource that may be created and manipulated at design time and at runtime. Lexer uses standard VCL streaming and stores itself in DFM text format.
Comfortable visual lexer editor.
Powerful and customizable highlighting.
Text folding, any determined text range or user range may be collapsed.
Gutter with multiple bands, line numeration, gutter objects (images) that are customizable at design time. Line highlighting, image, hint, position may be associated with the gutter object (for example, like breakpoint or current execution point).
Normal, column-oriented and line selection, clipboard operations.
Hint subsystem. Now hints available for text tokens, expanding button, gutter objects, vertical scroll.
Export to RTF, HTML file with syntax highlighting.
Copy selection to clipboard in RTF.
Right margin, persistent blocks, keep caret in text and numerous other options.
User ranges allows custom lexer independent highlighting and text folding.
Stack-based markers like in CodeRush?
Unlimited bookmarks.
Animation allows to mark out some position in text.
Powerful search/replace (regular expressions, search all ...).
Incremental search.
No last letter cutting (for italic fonts). This problem even is present in Delphi 2005 editor.
Active spell checking.
Hyperlinks highlighting.
Multiple Sync Edit regions.
Insert character popup grid.
