The last 4-5 years I've been using notepad-plus-plus.org as my favorite vbScript editor, BUT BUT BUT
A month ago I decided without any doubt to use your PsPad Editor instead as my favorite vbscript editor the rest of my life. I'm currently using version 4.5.7 (2433)
But there is 1 (yes, and only 1) feature in Notepad++ that I still use, and that's the feature showing ALL other instances in the open file with green background, if I select e.g. a word or variable or functionname and doubleclick it. That makes it easy to find all the other instances scrolling up and down the file.
Yes I know, use Option Explict, or search for the word, but the scrolling is a feature I really like.
Please consider to get such a feature in your next version of PsPad.

An example of my use is if I have called a function a wrong title:
Function sFileFindName(sFileName)
Because the function actually returns the full foldername where sFileName is located.
So I decided to rename ALL instances of sFileFindName to sFileFindFilesFolderName, but I don't trust to use a search/replace, because that might replace some instances, that would corruct my script.
So it's easy to doubleclick sFileFindName in Notepad++, and scroll up and down, and then decide if it's safe to use (CTRL+H OK YesToAll)
