That would be all =)

Great feedback!

A hacker mode including all the functions you mentioned might be a great idea, don't you think?

I don't think I would ever keep a browser open just to be able to do what the basic text editor on every OS in existence can do. Notepad, GEdit, whatever... I don't get the point of this, at all.

Maybe using this tool would make more sense when your browser window is already open, so you wouldn't have to open notepad whenever you want to:

- type a note,

- quickly save a code snippet,

- convert rich MS Word text to plain text before pasting it into any cms' wysiwyg-editor.

Oh sure! three buttons: normal mode, hacker mode and night mode, either normal or hacker can be on, not both but night mode can be on or off.

If it's not too much to ask, also font options, not much, only three, monospace (the one it has now i believe), the ubuntu font and consolas which im not sure it's exactly as mono.

That would be it, looks great as it is!
