When demonstrating the product, we observed features that people liked.
Here is a short list of what they said:
The Undo/Redo Ladder
feature ...
The undo/redo stack is stored as a transaction
ladder. This means, one may walk back and forth on the undo/redo list,
edit it in the middle of the walk, and will be able to se the changes
incorporated into the undo/redo list
The Multi Clipboard
feature ....
feature. Wed has ten clipboards, and the traditional windows clipboard.
We observed people love the one key access to paste any text from any
of the 10 clipboards ...
The Autosave feature .....
Wed saves it´s modified buffers automatically, after a period of
inactivity. These buffers are stored in a data directory, and are
infinitely helpful on any kind of disaster.
The UNIX auto recognition
feature ......
Wed detects the presence of CR only lines. It will remember it and save
the file back according to the original format. One can sit on a
central machine and edit on any platform without conversion.
The Macro Record/Playback
feature .......
One can record a sequence of keystrokes. For example a sequence that
selects the first word in the line, cuts it and inserts it as the
second word. After this macro is recorded, it can be played back on
every line. No editing job too big for this one ....
The Global Search and
Replace feature
One can load a multitude of files into Wed. Like loading a
complete project. With a single dialog one can change a string in all
the files. And it works clean. No other tool does that. Especially, no
other tool does that, with the ability to undo it all.
