a Qt5 port of the NEdit using modern C++14
The original nedit had a few features involving X secondary selections. Unfortunately, Qt doesn't have any real notion of secondary selections so to implement this, we'll have to use some...
I'd like the make macro processing an independent process, where interaction with the current buffer or window would be done via RPC. This has a few advantages: 1. If for...

I often do multi-file editing and there is no good solution in nedit for saving all documents quickly. The best I usually can do is to close nedit, and confirm...

The "Resource Continued" pattern of: ``` ^(\s*[^:\s]+\s*:)(?:(\\.)|.)*(\\)\n ``` Effectively hangs `NEdit-ng` (and `nedit`) for some inputs. Something as simple as this causes things to hang indefinitely: ``` Ada:Default\n\tAwk:Default\n\tC++:Default\n\tC:Default\n\tCSS:Default\n\tCsh:Default\n\tFortran:Default\n\tJava:Default\n\tJavaScript:Default\n\tLaTeX:Default\n\tLex:Default\n\tMakefile:Default\n\tMatlab:Default\n\tNEdit Macro:Default\n\tPascal:Default\n\tPerl:Default\n\tPostScript:Default\n\tPython:Default\n\tRegex:Default\n\tSGML HTML:Default\n\tSQL:Default\n\tSh...
