Keystroke Macros: Users can record a series of keystrokes and assign a keystroke to play back the keystrokes repeatedly. Up to 10 macros may be recorded.

Multiple Split Views: Users can create up to four separate views of the same edit buffer. Each view can be scrolled independently.

Unlimited Undo/Redo: All edit actions are fully undoable and redoable. If desired, a limit can be set on the number of undoable actions.

File searching: Perform regular expression searching and replacing using Perl-like regular expressions.

RTF Clipboard support: Text copied or dragged from the edit buffer can be pasted into other applications with all formatting information intact.

Support for Custom Languages: The installation comes with several popular language definitions; however custom languages may also be defined. Regular expressions and scoping rules can be used to accurately define a language. Languages may be defined by application code or XML data.

Column Selection and Manipulation: Select text as a column rather than a paragraph. Empty columns (columns with a width of zero characters) can be selected, causing subsequent typing and deletion to occur over multiple lines at the same time.

Custom Color Settings: All foreground and background colors used in a control are configurable by the end-user or developer.
