[Suggestion] Improve The Editor

I really miss those features in the default editor in CC (the edit command):

• "save as" which allows saving file with a different filename
• end, home (and maybe page up/page down) keys behaving properly (move to the start or end of line, respectively)
• delete key working
• also if it is possible, when you have cursor at some position in a longer line near end, when you jump two lines (to another long line over a short line) you lose the cursor position from the first line - it's on the position of the end of the shorter line

I hope I explained it clearly. What do you think?

Well, im working on it:D But it'll be custom OS nonetheless. Try RedWorks with RedWord editor though.

I don't think those features are likely to be added to default OS. It's just basics.

I know, but even basics can be complex and intelligent - let's inspire by unix, not by windows. Do you know nano or vi? Those are "basic editors". Microsofts' Notepad it also "basic". :P/>/>

Just trying to say that basic doesn't have to mean bad.

I know, but if you make everything good by default, there's no need for any user-made programs. Leave some room for creativity, I say.

Wish Granted: Improved Edit

Such as the example above <_</>/>

a working copy of vi has also been programmed and is available to use..
