You should have the option to make backspace delete a full level of indentation, if soft tabs are on.

Keeping the indentation level on new lines would be nice too.

Indentation levels should be converting line to line, is it not for you?

Ohh... shiny! Can we also get Elastic tabstops? http://nickgravgaard.com/elastictabstops/

How would you want the definition to be? How would you "activate" elastic tab stops?

Good work, like it a lot. I almost feel allowing tabs should be a browser based setting, I'd have it enabled, but I can imagine other people wouldn't never need to use a tab. I built something similar for keeping indentation/bullets/lists on new lines to assist with Markdown in an ordinary textarea -> http://jamiebicknell.github.com/Markdown-Helper/ ps: long time lurker, first time poster.

The option to disable tabs behavior is there. When to do that is up to you;]

Now please add mouse-hover hint box, dropdown list for auto completion and I am sold

If only TextWrangler had auto-completion and auto-pairing of brackets and quotes.

Have you looked at Sublime Text 2?

http://www.sublimetext.com/2

I switched about a year ago and I am very pleased.

EDIT: This shows it off better: http://www.sublimetext.com/

This is great! I removed Ace because it was too heavy for my purpose.

Indent Issue:

Type in at least 3 lines, highlight the middle lines using shift+down-arrow, tab(indent), notice the line below the highlighted lines indents too.

It is cool but it will more cool if you add highlighting.

Use CodeMirror (http://codemirror.net/) for this, or Ace

It absolutely crashed Firefox 18.0.1 under Mac. I typed hgjj]{return}{return}{return}{return} and it just beachballed. I had to force quit the browser. Happened the second time I tried it too.

Thank you for catching this, there are multiple instances where the same bug causes an infinite loop, muahaha. Will fix soon
