Why do you disable the save action in the first place?

It is disabled, if the editor in question hasn't been modified.


Reminds me a bit on (windows) Notepad. It used to throw a message
at the user:

   There are no changes to be saved - Ok | Cancel

...wich left zillions of users headshaking. Stupid thing. Is it so hard to save anyways?

Actually it serves a purpose except from not prohibiting what is doing no harm.
Saving an unmodified buffer should cause another application with the same
buffer open to update.

Saving every now and then is doing no harm. Or is disabling the save action meant to stop the
user
from doing something potentially evil?

Another thought. If a (any) shortcut is no longer eaten up by an action
and passed to scintilla one might get unexpected results every now and
then. Why not install an event filter to eat up those shortcuts?

Should QScintilla ignore control characters, i.e. chars < 32?


As far as I can see one can get scintilla to ignore these chars on keyboard input. see (old post): http://www.lyra.org/pipermail/scintilla-interest/2001-October/000020.html

If one wants to play around with control chars use CharTables.
