Unfortunately, there isn't any documentation on how to replace the code
editor (and there are a number of people who have been trying to figure
out how to it that for years).  I'd suggest putting your columnized
editor in its own (modeless) window and making it easily accessible
through the IDE tools menu.

hey jacob,

funny how i keep bumping in to you. :)

ok, i guess i could do that. it would be "neater" to add it as a code 
editor, but i don't have a lot of time to hack the ota stuff so if it's not 
reasonably straightforward, it's not going to get done.

thanks for the advice.

Speaking of replacing things (or perhaps even an alternative), do you
(or anyone else for that matter) know of a replacement for the project
manager?

I think I can live with using the existing PM for selecting and
compiling/building projects, however navigating to files within
projects is a major PITA since the concept of folders was introduced.
It's a real shame that it doesn't allow you to go back to the
"old-style" view ie just the file names, with the paths in a separate
column (yes, I'm aware that the paths column can still be made visible,
but it is redundant).

Of course, it would be handy if a "replacement" could do the lot <g>

I wonder how GExperts does this.. As far as I know, GExperts has (or 
had) a editor replacement or at least knowledge of which control/window 
the editor is in.
Maybe this is something to investigate.
