I will check it out, thanks.

I have been reading through the code of your plugins with great interest, I am thinking about implementing multiple cursor editing in LW using your scripts as learning material. I found that I could not make much sense out of the editor source code (it seems like it has plenty of definitions missing, there isn’t even the editor package declaration, or I could not find it), your work really helps with figuring out how things work under the cover.

How did you figure all that stuff out necessary to put your plugins together?

Btw I would call your plugins ediware for the new generation, not sure if you would know it or not, 20 years ago there was a guy round here called Edi Weitz, he had a lot of addons implemented for LW which made it reasonably user friendly for the time and he was given a lot of credit for that. I think your addons turn it up to eleven on the usability front, Edi would probably be jealous.
