Hi,

Me too :-)

Don't know exactly what such an addon will do but it sounds interesting. So 
another me too here :-))

Yes, the language addons seem to be a pretty weak part in pe that need 
improvement. While searching for some information about syntax coloring I 
stumbled about an editor with a really promising concept:

Extending the function popup would make much more sence

Sometimes I would like to have a third horizontal splitter... just 
amoment... Ok, I just tried Eddie and I must say I like the way the 
splitters are handled there. Could be very useful for me.

Speaking of the diff tool. There's a feature request from me that should be 
doable without much effort. There should be icons in the diff windows 
toolbar to toogle the options found in the preferences ("Ignore Case 
Change" and "Ignore White Space").

Another improvement could be making the diff window accept another file 
drop to recycle it

Btw, I talked with Maarten yesterday and he said:
"Great to see it's still alive." :-))
