I know very little about designing and coding large programs like NEdit
(being primarily a hardware guy). That said, it would seem to me this
would be a good reason to have some kind of plug-in architecture to
handle this. This would fill the apparent gap between things that it
makes sense to do as macros and bigger jobs (like file-open browsers and
project managers) that would add a lot of bulk to the base version but
would be too large/slow as macros. Is this in NEdit's future?
