Yeh, sure! I looked it up and indeed it can be handy! And what about USER SETTABLE (as opposed to setting those by a configuration file) font attributes like italics, bold, color, etc.?

Add all these and more, and before you know it, you have a word processor. Is that what you want?

I like EmEditor for its speed and small footprint. It starts and opens program files of tens of KB practically instantaneously! This is precocious, I don't want to loose this, even if I have to do some more manual work here and there to achieve the same results...

That's my two piece of opinion...

Support for this style of tabstops would be awesome!
