I guess this is specific to the WinXP TweakUI, mine (NT/9x) doesn't do 
this. Now, you can use TweakUI to set ProgLauncher as the default editor 
:-)

Yes, and as Neil Hodgson is a nice guy, he accepts most of my patches :-)

It has auto-indenting, but it is very primitive. This is hard to implement 
it right, at least in a generic (language independent) manner. Or perhaps 
we should add this to the lexers, as it has be done with the folding code.
That's why we added a simplistic but useful mode, where SciTE just copy 
the indentation of the previous line when hitting Enter.

What does Alt-drag? On Scintilla/SciTE, if you hold down the Alt key and 
drag the mouse over text, it makes a rectangular selection.
It has to be improved, eg. to allow replacing text in rect. sel. only, or 
to have a multi-line cursor. Both are not obvious with the current 
implementation of rectangular selections.
