Definitely. There are so many things one takes for granted in a
programming editor. A lot more work than I expected. [then again, what
isn't]

Also, disabling the syntax highlighting gives my editor component
decent performance. Add it back in, and my editor comes to a crawl!
:-( I'm trying to use regex [another think I'm trying to learn] for
the syntax highlighting, so I could maybe import gEdit or Midnight
Commander's syntax definitions. But I still have lots of work ahead.
