Pretty interesting, although reimplementing every single standard text editor behavior can be difficult.

Missing standard text editor behavior that I know of:

- right-clicking on selected text

- dragging-and-dropping selected text

- triple-click to select paragraph

- OS X emacs keybindings: ctrl+n/p/f/b as arrow keys, ctrl+a/e to go to beginning/end of line, ctrl+k/y to cut/paste, etc




i hit the same things on mac, like ctrl-a/e. couldn't jump to the beginning and the end of the file either. i tried various shift key combinations until i finally inserted some special character which i couldn't delete. all this happened within ~20seconds of trying it. not sure what to conclude from it; im still in shock. somehow the language of announcement is not in line with the capabilities of the tool. it suggested something more mature.


undo/redo
