Now that cut/copy/paste works in all object boxes, comments, etc.
on all platforms, is there any reason to keep the "Text Editor"?data-structures + clarity of editing.
i'm not sure if viewing the struct in DS launches the same 'Text Editor', but it is quite useful for editing/debuging values.
as for clarity, if i am wanting to review a large block of text, ie. a message box with a number of initiation settings. then i find it better to do so in its own window. i think as matju pointed out there are a number of extra bindings that make text editing a little easier, and perhaps these could be expanded - such as a import / export text button? i guess what you're suggesting is that if i want these features, i'm better off using my favourite text editor and hitting the cut button?
i'm not strictly opposed to removing it, but i have been known to use this feature in the past.
cheers, dmotd
The data structures dialog is totally separate. The Text Editor is
the thing you get from the Edit menu. FYI: I just added the data
structures dialog to pd-gui-rewrite.

Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more
direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice,
it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith
