    Default QScintilla ColumnMode?

    Does anyone know if there is a version of QScintilla out there supporting ColumnMode? I can't seem to find any roadmap or anything.

    By "ColumnMode" I assume you mean support for multiple column formatting within a page?

    Looking at the Scintilla website, it doesn't appear to be supported in Scintilla itself, so I doubt it would be supported in a Qt wrapper. Since Scintilla is designed as a source code editor, not general-purpose document editing software, it is not surprising that multiple column support is not there. What would be the point of multiple columns in source code? The Scintilla site has a bug and feature list, and there is nothing on there.

    Please use CODE tags when posting source code so it is more readable. Click "Go Advanced" and then the "#" icon to insert the tags. Paste your code between them.

    Column mode comes in handy, especially if you have to fix test data, or need to line up a bunch of poorly aligned code.

    I see. Can you use the tab setting features for that?
