π We will try to implement the features with the most votes first. π A valid license key must be entered for voting! π Each license key can be used for a maximum of 1 vote per feature! π A universal license key can be used to vote for all programs, even the freeware tools!

The application should remember the line I edited the last time I saved and closed the file. So I can continue where I left of. Optional, so I have choice to use it or not.
Add "proximity search". Proximity search allows users to find words or phrases that appear near each other within a specified distance in a text document.
Examples:
Find all sentences where "Joe" and "Smith" both appear.
Find all lines where "Brooklyn" is near "New York"
Functionality Suggestions:
Scope Options: Allow searches to be limited to sentences, or lines.

Start with Windows option, and of course, to system tray
Text Edit Plus column mode is definitely useful, but would it be possible to use the keyboard as well as the mouse?
Maybe alt-shift while the cursor is moved? Or a keystroke that would turn column mode on and off? Sometimes mouse selection isn't as precise as needed, particularly when the column to be selected is only a character or two wide...
