Hi Ramon, Thanks for sharing such a good editor, very fast. It would be better if you could add visual brace matching function. image Best wishes Adam Wu

That would be nice indeed, Keep in mind that for now I did very few modifications when compared to the original GreenPad, so I have yet no idea on how the program handles syntactic coloration, from what I read while reviewing the code there seems to be a lot of bit shifting and crazy obscure optimizations.

The main point of this repo was to fix a few bugs because it is still my favorite text editor but for sure it does not come close to Notepad++ in term of features. also I absolutely needed long path support (path monger than 259 chars)

But I will have a deeper look for sure. Also about syntax coloration the strings (between double quotes and also singles quotes) should have separated colors and the keywords should not be highlighted when they appear in a string.
