If this is so then why isn't this mentioned on the website?
Beats me. The BabelPad page casually mentions “the BabelMap edit buffer”
in the description of a function.
Anyhow, I believe many people would like to use an independent
character picker along with their favourite editor or whatever...
BabelPad is about 8 MB versus the 7 MB of BabelMap, so I would say that
BabelPad is basically BabelMap with added functionality, like normal
text editor functions and some added tools for inserting characters
(e.g., pinyin lookup).
I’m not sure whether BabelMap has some functionality that BabelPad
hasn’t got (there are differences in menus), but I don’t find any
additional tools for picking characters. You still have to copy them to
the clipboard.
