For some reason I feel very happy today, who knows why. The last week or so has been very rough for me, there is some troubling stuff going on at work, and in general. Close family and friends all getting really sick in a short timespan is really just not cool.
Anyway, with regards to the editor speculation, and a couple emails I have received over it, code reuse has won again. We have decided to stick with the gtksourceview based editor for the future. There are numerous reasons, all good, and in the end, better than any benefits we might have gotten from renewing the managed port effort.
I almost had a heart attack last night. There I was hacking, listening to some music, when all of a sudden a song ended, and no new music came out of the headphones. After a bit of investigation it appeared the iPod was frozen?!? After a couple minutes I figured out how to reset it, but let me tell you, those were some long minutes ;)
In other completely unrelated news (I seem to be bouncing all over today), I think Nat's most recent evolution usability suggestion would seriously be the greatest thing short of a fully functional copy/paste implementation that could ever hit the linux desktop.
I have been running through MD the last little bit fixing little usability bugs. There seem to be a lot of them, at least that I've found. So again, here is my standard plea, I am not putting up with crappy ui, so if something in MD seems to require too many clicks, or could work better, or just doesnt seem right, or anything, please file a bug.
Have been toying around with the idea of adding an option panel to our options dialog that allows customizable editor keys. Right now we have a handful of functions (Delete line, Trigger code completion, etc) that are hard bound to a specific key setting. Not only are these keybindings not really documented anywhere, they are also not for everyone. Some way to list, and change them would be kinda cool. I am envisioning a ui similar to the one used by the gnome keyboard shortcut capplet. Not sure if/when I will get to this, but its something kicking around in my head.
And as a final note, dkor, where are you dude? We need you back!

I want it to work for Danish as well, where we use "bilag" and "vedhæft*"
