I agree. This looks interesting.

Also here is another suggestion, for the editor:

 	Is the Shift-Tab command taken in the editor? If not, it would be 
useful to be able to indent a block of text by highlighting the block and 
then doing Shift-Tab, would it not? Or is there already a way to indent a 
highlighted block and I am unaware of it?
