Agreed, it would be nice to be able to specify (at least parts of) the
glossary with respect to the current language. Pe could then automatically
select the appropriate glossary entry (the one matching the language of the
current file).
In order to make that work for the glossary window, too, we could switch
from a listview to an outline-listview with the language as the first
level, and the language specific glossary entries as the second. Does that
make sense?

Yes, and that should be pretty easy to implement, too.

Tabbing-style (hard/soft) would be a file-specific setting, right?
I thought about grouping several prefs-settings as named styleguides which
can be saved and applied as a whole.
This would be very helpful for instance if you use Pe for projects that
share the language but have different styleguides.
OTOH, I could only think of the tab-width and tabbing style (hard/soft)
making sense in this context, so it probably is a bit over the top. Any
views on this?

I am not sure whether it will be straightforward to implement the "normal"
BTextview-like scrollbar behaviour, as I don't (yet) know how Pe organizes
the text internally.
However, I agree that at least the "jumpiness" should be fixed.

This should be pretty easy, unless we want to show an indicator for
bookmarks in the textview, which IMHO would be nice, but *will* complicate
things a bit...
cheers,
