AkelPad

I think I found a bug in AkelPad 4.4.9. After using the keyboard to perform a menu command, the next key pressed does not go to the document. For example, instead of using Ctrl+S to save an existing document, choose it from the File menu by pressing Alt+F, S. Then type a character and it will not appear at the cursor. Or if you press Delete after saving that way, a character is deleted but the next character typed will not appear.

This also might be classified as a bug. Several menus are no longer accessible with the standard keyboard shortcuts (indicated by the underlined letter).
View: Alt+V is now Columnar Paste
Window: Alt+W is now Reopen file as ANSI (Windows)
Would it be possible to restore the standard shortcuts and assign new alternative ones, like Ctrl+Alt+V and Alt+A respectively, to those functions?

The Esc key is currently assigned to Exit. Could there be an option to disable that? As a former 'vi' user, I have a tendency to press Esc and accidentally close all saved files or exit if they have all been saved.

When selecting several lines of text, it looks like there is a space at the end of the lines when there really is not. Would it be possible to not highlight beyond the end of the actual text during selection?

When indenting a block of text, would it be possible to not indent blank lines within the block?

My old wish. :) Goto Settings -> Editor1 -> Text Margin and set right/left value to zero.

When pressing F3 (Find Next), could a little "Not found" message box appear when no matches are found, similar to doing a search with the Find dialog?

var hMainWnd=AkelPad.GetMainWnd();

if (AkelPad.SendMessage(hMainWnd, 273 /*WM_COMMAND*/, 4159 /*IDM_EDIT_FINDNEXTDOWN*/, 0) == -1)
  AkelPad.MessageBox(hMainWnd, "Search finished", "AkelPad", 0x40 /*MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION*/);

var hMainWnd=AkelPad.GetMainWnd();

if (AkelPad.SendMessage(hMainWnd, 273 /*WM_COMMAND*/, 4160 /*IDM_EDIT_FINDNEXTUP*/, 0) == -1)
  AkelPad.MessageBox(hMainWnd, "Search finished", "AkelPad", 0x40 /*MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION*/);

The Esc key is currently assigned to Exit.

Could a Close command be added to the File menu so the typical Alt+F, C sequence closes a file? It took a while to realize that files and windows were essentially interchangeable.

var hMainWnd=AkelPad.GetMainWnd();

AkelPad.SendMessage(hMainWnd, 273 /*WM_COMMAND*/, 4164 /*IDM_EDIT_INSERT_TAB*/, 0);
AkelPad.SendMessage(hMainWnd, 273 /*WM_COMMAND*/, 4174 /*IDM_EDIT_DELETE_TRAILING_WHITESPACES*/, 0);

Finally, could repeated undo actions be grouped together? For example, if I press delete multiple times to delete some text, undo treats each keypress as a separate action.
