XYplorer Beta Club

Continuing my previous post about syntax highlighting. I'm trying to apply XY to daily software dev and testing tasks. Working with files, searching files, modifying files, testing files.

I can see a lot of benefit to being able to quickly edit files right inside of XY. I don't know if this would require you to write your own text editor which I could see being all consuming. I don't expect a full on IDE of course, but maybe there's room for integration with an open-source editor like Scite where we could optionally plug in an editor tab... Or I wonder if there's room for a partnership with JGSoft so we could have an Edit Pad Pro tab inside XY.

Actually embedding other software is not my strong point. I know it's possible and probably not even that hard to do (just some lines of code I assume...), but I never did it... and currently is not a good time for researching this.
