Notepad Addon

Hey all,

im making a notepad addon and it is nearly complete. Just wanted to post it here to see what you think of it so far and see if there was any suggestions you may have that you would like to see added.

Some stuff i added:
* Multi line tabbing (and shift tabbing to go back)
* Multi line shift selecting using left click
(Left Click > Hold shift > Left Click again at another location and all the text inbetween is highlighted)

Proposed list of features:
Code:
- Ability to have a completely Transparent Background (only text showing)
- Ability to run scripts
  - Also enable automatic script running on startup
  - Put it in as a Sub addon so it can be disabled from the addon list page
- Accept BB code colors
  - [color = "Red"], Green, Blue, Pink, Purple, etc...
- FauxScrollFrame for smooth scrolling
- Resizable window
- Edit text by pressing the Edit button rather than clicking on the screen
- Save text by pressing the Save Button (in same place as the edit button)
- Delete page button
- Copy Page button
- Change Text and text size
- Change backdrop texture
- Search text
  - Highlight it when found
- Right click text options (place a frame above the scrollframe with right click button enabled)
  - cut
  - paste
  - copy
  - delete
- LDB Support
- Move pages 1,2,3,4 -> 1,3,2,4
  - Via dragging
  - Button to display a list of pages, shift+drag them to move them
- Folders
  - Colapsable sub menus
- Ctrl + Z to undo the last action
  - Record the last 5 "major" events
    - Cutting
    - Pasting
    - Pressing enter
    - Entering/Deleting 10 letters? (might just make it for this one)
- Ctrl + Y to redo that command
- Line + Col Display (Ln xx, Col yy)
- Bold, Italics (can only do this on a page by page basis)
- Bookmarks?
- Import from tinypad
- Send page to Player/Guild/Party?
