You lose track of things, and there is no way to stop this behavior. In fact, saving, then immediately pressing undo, then redo, just once, marks the document as unsaved. So you save, then press redo and undo a bunch of times, and there’s no way to know where you started. Sublime allows you to undo "through" saves, without any indication of the point at which the save occurred.

TextPad optionally resets the undo buffer at save, so you can no longer undo or redo.

In Sublime, there are multiple kinds of "find-next/prev" commands, and they sort of work together, and they sort of don’t, and it’s confusing. Even if the selection is undone, the search-term remains.

In TextPad, selecting a word, and then pressing find-next or find-prev sets that word as the current search term.

(I haven’t used it, but the RegReplace plugin is supposed to fill this gap).

Sublime’s macros don’t record anything in the find or replace dialogs.

All configuration is done by manually editing JSON files and, although there is a lot of documentation ( official and unofficial), it’s not enough–particularly if you want to develop plugins.

Learning the advanced concepts in Sublime is not easy.

Instead of a vertical scrollbar, you get this: Nearly complete and trivial access to hundreds of commands with a few key presses. There’s also a corresponding go-to-project dialog (a dialog is called an "overlay" in Sublime). The go-to-anything dialog only knows about the files existing in a project. Sublime indexes all the files in a project’s folders, so they can be used by the amazing Go to anything dialog Creating a new project should not happen very often. Watch a video demo.Īlthough a project behaves just like a workspace, it’s much more than that, and you should almost always create a project and then a workspace, before proceeding. A project can also have its own settings overrides, and can automatically hide files and folders based on wildcards. A project is a saved set of folders which can contain zero or more workspaces.

Sublime also has workspaces, but they each exist in a " project". TextPad has workspaces, which remember the currently-open files, including cursor positions and bookmarks. When I first heard about Sublime’s multi-cursors, I assumed it was a gimmick, cumbersome, and sure to slow things down. In addition to the above basic features, Sublime has Multi-cursors Things TextPad users will love in Sublime Text 3 While I can already automate most of TextPad, it can only be fast when the critical pieces are recorded as TextPad macros. The point is not to have perfect, uber-functional macros–the point is to make it easier to automate TextPad–but all these issues discourage macro development. They don’t need to be “upgraded” with if-logic or loops or anything else–they just need to be editable. When macros work, they are super-fast and invaluable. Worst of all, you’re only allowed to have sixty-four of them.

Macros that are uneditable (so recording them is stressful), and whose key-commands are completely obliterated–all of them–when you rename or delete any single macro file, either directly in Windows Explorer (which you "shouldn’t" do), or even in TextPad’s built-in macro editor. Although you can call an external application via the Tools menu, it can’t be properly "extended", such as with plugins or extensions.No live bracket or tag highlighting (although you can match a single bracket by hitting a key-command), and no bracket completion (typing an open paren, quote, curly-brace, etc., automatically prints the close character after the cursor).No workspace-specific configuration, and no way to associate macros or clips to specific syntaxes.It’s Clip Library is a poor replacement for true auto-completion.It’s also missing basic features found in lots of other editors: And especially: Fast key-driven navigation around and within open files.

Regex (including their excellent WildEdit product).What TextPad does well, it does really well: : Added SmartCursor plugin to TextPad section.: Added command for displaying current file in sidebar directory tree to first-tips.: Added sftp-project-file tip to first-tips.For me, the only major improvement during all this time, has been changing its regex engine to a POSIX-y like thing to a truly Perl-compatible Boost (ignoring its look-behind issues). Unfortunately, the developers of TextPad are notoriously non-communicative, and the current version has basically been the same for about ten years. I’ve been a stalwart–nay, evangalistic– TextPad user for much of that time. Beyond debugging and auto-building, I’ve never used an IDE.
