That's actually nearly what Camelia has right now. Right now Camelia insists on not dealing with tabs at all -- it converts them all to spaces. This "feature" has to go obviously, and it's a few-liner to convert between characters (which include tabs) and columns. The editor widget in Qt has a good text document model, and iteration/selections are implemented via a text cursor class. It's very easy to have multiple, even overlapping selections -- they are all handled by the editor code, pretty much transparently. > An integrated ocamlbrowser (the standard TK tend to jiggle and hang on my > computer). OK, I'm adding this to my feature list. I didn't even know ocamlbrowser existed (never quite made it through the manual, I'm afraid). > An integrated small terminal window.

I presume you're talking about missing closing elements (parentheses etc.). Yes, they can be automatically highlighted. > Will test camelia 2.0 for sure. I will first release 1.90, which will be an alpha, then a few releases later we'll have a beta, and then 2.0 ;) I know for sure now that 1.90 release will be a single executable that can be run from anywhere, which will make it more convenient to test.
