Multi Paste
As with all other multi-edit features you position multiple text cursors or make several selections using Ctrl+LeftMouseButton. Then simply use "Paste" (Ctrl+V) to insert text, from the clipboard, in all instances at once.
This feature works with text clips that contain several lines, but there is one limitation. You can only insert one multiple line clip per line. If you have two selections on the same line, only the first selection is replace when you paste. You can insert as many one line clips as you want though, even on the same line.
Syntax Files
* I've added a JSP syntax file in this version.
* You can now use [] arrays with auto completion, e.g. List[index].<members>
Text Clip Manager
Added buttons to sort or position your clips as you like in the lower list. You can also insert separators by adding an item called "-".
Misc
* Updated the help on syntax files.
* Shift+Ctrl+MouseWheel is now used to change the font size in the docuemnt. (The shortcut was changed from Ctrl+MouseWheel)
* Double click on document tab bar will open a new document.
* Added option to assign files without an extension to a highlighter. (Preferences -> Editor - File).
* Added a button for RegEx help in all search dialogs.
* May have fixed some Unicode path issues.
* Illegal control characters are now removed when you open the file. A message is displayed to inform the user when this happens.

Select:

* An error could occur when closing all files and then opening a new one.
* Program could sometimes freeze when behind other windows.
* Program could sometimes freeze when opening a file and using dual document view.
* Increased close file speed.
* Fixed a menu language problem.
* Fixed a small issue with parameter hints
Project Class View
The project class view can list all classes, class members and functions in your project. It also includes a project wide TODO list. NOTE's and TODO's are listed per file and can have one of three priorities. 1, 2 or 3. Each item in the list has an icon to indicated the priority.
To add a priority in your code you should enter something like below:
// TODO,2 This todo has the priority 2
// TODO This todo has the priority 1
.
Code Explorer (TODO list)
Made some changes to the TODO list. NOTE's and TODO's can have 3 priorities, indicated by 3 different icons. To add a priority in your code you should enter something like below:
// TODO,3 This todo has the priority 3
