Comment (by axeld):
I'm also not sure about the "read-only" feature; since you have to enable
it manually, it has only very limited use. One could set it automatically
depending on the actual POSIX permissions of the file, though. OTOH I am
always annoyed by editors that do so (like Pe), as it doesn't have any
practical use other than to notify you that you may not have the rights to
edit the file at the current location.
Furthermore, if you accidentally change a file (how often does this
happen, anyway?), no one forces you to save it, and there is always the
possibility to undo your last action.
About the coding style, one thing I have to add to humdinger: use '\t'
when you need a tab character constant, don't just use an actual tab, as
that cannot be seen. In this particular case, you may want to use
isspace() instead, though, anyway, or rather BUnicodeChar::IsSpace().
