FeatherPad

Mainly small fixes, like the following:

● Fixed an asymmetry between the forward and backward searches/replacements if some text was selected. ● Made replacing after searching easier (without needing to clear the selection first). ● Fixed showing of ampersand in the recent files menus. ● Fixed highlighting of C++ numbers with single quote as separator.

● Removed an old workaround about translations, which prevented some languages from being loaded by recent versions of Qt. ● Show the print bar ("Printing in progress...") before printing, because Qt's print dialog may be shown with a delay (due to avahi-daemon, or simply because the document is huge). ● A small change in syntax highlighting of numbers.

● Special highlighting for standard C++ methods. ● More intuitive column selection with wrapped lines (although it isn't useful with them). ● Allow typing more characters before a selected column. ● Replaced QtGlobal methods and types (like qMax, qMin, qreal, …) with those of C++.

FeatherPad supports column selection now. See Help → Column Selection.

Other changes:

● A rare issue is fixed in finding/highlighting whole words. ● The position number on the status-bar is localized. ● The support for translating the Help file is dropped because it wasn't practical (an online translation service can be used instead).

● The printing thread is fixed (previously, it caused a warning message about QBasicTimer). ● An old issue is fixed in replacement highlighting of multiple tabs. ● Fixed the localization of date and time with Qt6. ● Demand attention under Wayland when a window needs activation (although some Wayland compositors may ignore it). ● Small fixes and enhancements.
