I've just built this and looked at it. It really is barebones, and even at 
that it's day and night! For the first time I can see where lines wrap and I 
have highlighted balancing of nested parenthesis. These were reasons I was 
copying and pasting with KWrite on complex text.

As nice as this I'd like to see what we can do that is of nominal effort and a 
good return. Here are some ideas I have with the suggestion that Andras can 
do them or give us feedback.

1) highlight functions @function.method and @#comments
2) add line number option to the main menu
3) Either add tab width option or at least decrease the default tab value to 
reflect the smaller edit space
4) context menu to load function under cursor into Function Browser
5) bookmark ability, probably with context menus

Okay and here is one more idea. I want to have a Kommander based snippet 
library. So if we could open a Kommander dialog and have it be able to insert 
text in the cursor, similar to Quanta but not as involved, that would be very 
cool.
