Constructive criticism for CCEDIT, and it won't hurt my feelings at all
if you ignore me completely:
After using the editor, I find myself wishing for the following:
1) It is difficult to know when you are reaching 80 col max... possible
solutions could be a) using a border color other than black so it would
be obvious as you get close, or b) possibly a beep when you type past
col 70, something like that.... (think back to the old mechanical
typewriter days...)
2) For typing free text, a limited wrap-around function might be nice
so that the word you are typing, when you reach col 80, is moved down to
the next line and continued. I wouldn't say full document word-wrap
would be worth doing, more was thinking of a couple simple rules that
are checked while you are typing:
a) if the cursor is at col 80, and
b) you type a letter, not a space, then
c) maybe search back up to 20 chars or so, and if a space is found,
replace with a CR?
(really I don't know if the above would be easy or hard...)
Anyway, that was my two cents, and I wouldn't worry about it too much,
I'm already a fan of the program. Thanks again.
