Fellow programmers:

 As a warm up project for OS/2 programming (as I got really spoiled with 
ObjectWindows and am rusty on doing everything myself) I'm writing a PM 
programmer's editor (thinking specifically of working under Workframe with 
CSet/2). I wanted to get some feedback on what everyone likes in an editor, 
i.e. - features.

I've got some stuff on the list already:
Autoindent (of course)
Split windows on the same or different files in 1 instance of the editor
drag 'n drop editing
pick yer own colors
and maybe keyword highlighting (like in Borland's windows based editors)

Any other ideas? This will probably be a freeware release when I finish as I 
haven't really seen any decent editors laying around free for the 
asking.  (And don't tell me about EPM. I hate it.)
