Here's a round up of the new features offered by the upcoming Twistpad 2.0 (a beta preview is available for download for registered user's).

This version is a totally free upgrade to existing customer's. Thank you for your support!

Split Editing


Click to resize

The long waited possibility to edit two locations in the same document e now available, either horizontally (traditional split) or vertically (a must for wide monitors)

Use it as a browser



Twistpad now supports go backforward using the standard alt backforward key combination's (using this combination, also insures that keyboard's or mouse's, with browser back forward extra buttons, will work in Twistpad)

Each time a specific action is performed, a drop marker is dropped at
the current location, so you can easily go back (it works like a stack, and a virtual index controls the current back-forward position.

A drop marker will be dropped under this conditions:
- Before a jumping to a find location
- Before pasting text
- Before jumping to functions
- Before any Go To action
- A Mouse-click that moves the cursor 10+ lines from current position
- Set manually

Color Themes


Click to resize

Twistpad 1.x would allow almost all editor colors to be customized, however, it would be difficult to switch between a dark scheme to a light scheme, because it would require the syntax colors to be manually updated. Twistpad 2.0 now offers a set of syntax constant's that can be easily changed thus making switching colors a breeze. You can also save your own themes for easier retrieval.

Dock Windows and the keyboard



Dock windows are now easily accessed via keyboard, now longer requiring using the mouse when in auto-hide state. Direct shortcuts are now set out of a standard installation and, when using Enhanced Switch they will be always a keyboard press away

More Dock Windows improvements


Click to resize

Snippets are now displayed in in a tree structure, making it more ergonomic and intuitive to browse for snippets. The Function dock window as also been improved, and now the current function is highlighted in the list.

Regular expressions improvements



Find dialogs now show an additional menu common with regular expressions expressions constants for quick retrieval. Also, replacing now supports replace templates.

Windows Vista / Seven Optimization


Click to resize

There were some issues in Twistpad 1.x when running in Windows Vista (and Seven) Mostly have been fixed, making using Twistpad 2.0 in Vista or Seven, with the default theme, a better a more native experience.

Even more stuff...

Transparent selections, new format text command, Function list accessible from the toolbar, Number highlighting are some more examples of new features introduced for version 2.0, which we feel it will be a welcome addition to Twistpad.
