Existing users, 
ForgEdit is very nice and clean, but is missing a few useful features that are common in a programming editors and that I miss, including:
* No indication of matching parenthesis
* No way to select text in a logical block (e.g. between curly braces)
* No menu of function names
Similarly, the find/replace dialog box is nice and clean but could use:
* hold option key to replace "in selection" (at least there is a menu for this!)
* uses a menu to enable regular expressions (clumsier than a checkbox)
A great start and well worth checking out.
ForgEdit
programmer's text editor
Version: 1.0.1
Well worth considering - Stefan_E
Hello Reowen and thanks for the feedback,About your issues:
- To highlight opening matching braces, check 'Balance while typing' in Preferences (should be on by default).
- Selection of everything between curly braces are not on the roadmap yet, sorry.
- Navigation popup is on the way (finally!).
Holding the option key to toggle 'selection/whole file' in find dialog -- i've looked a bit at it since you mailed me the request. Just keep bugging me and maybe it will get in there :)
ForgEdit uses PCRE, but that may change since both regex symbols (new feature in b10 - not out yet) and navigation requires performance. If i switch to some other lib i will rework some of the regex stuff, so your checkbox might work it's way in there.
