I don't know about tabs - currently pressing tab results in 1-4 spaces (up to the next multiple of 4 characters). What is your reason for wanting tabs instead? Perhaps I could do something else.

It's just a coding preference. In all of my coding I always configure the editor to put in the tab character instead of some spaces. It's not really a high priority thing but its also pretty easy to implement I think.

I have another suggestion, about triggers. The process of writing triggers is extremely repetitive and often requires the same basic code. Why not condense that into a single declaration, like so:

trigger gt_MeleeInitialization : EventMapInit {
    bool conditions() {
        if (DontRunThisTrigger()) return false;
    }
    void actions() {
        DoStuff();
    }
}

Its kinda like the trigger "class" extends the map init event. If you need to pass parameters to the event function, you can do it like so:

trigger gt_TimerExpired : EventTimer(gv_MyTimer) {

the example before would be compiled to:

trigger gt_MeleeInitialization;
bool gt_MeleeInitialization_Func(bool testConds, bool runActions) {
    if (testConds) {
        if (DontRunThisTrigger()) {
            return false;
        }
    }
    if (!runActions) {
        return true;
    }
    DoStuff();
    return true;
}
void gt_MeleeInitialization_Init() {
    gt_MeleeInitialization = TriggerCreate("gt_MeleeInitialization_Func");
    TriggerAddEventMapInit(gt_MeleeInitialization);
    return;
}

As you can see, it's a major reduction in code etc.

Hi, I really like your editor, it's really been speeding up my development time and ease.
I have just a few requests:
- an option to use tabs instead of spaces
- when making a new project, choose the path where it is created
- the ability to move the file tabs around, re-order them.

Of course, if you are willing to open source your project I could definitely help!
