The development of QCodeEdit was recently boosted by the unexpected commercial interest it caught. I have indeed be contacted to discuss the possibility of releasing it under a commercial license for it appeared to be a very attractive alternative to QScintilla and QTextEdit/QSyntaxHighlighter combo which are, as far as I know, the only existing "concurrents"...

The licensing question is not solved yet as I don't own a Qt Commercial License myself but as the GPL exception allows the code to be released under BSD style license there will probably be a solution.

The goodness of it is that it led me to fix a couple of bugs reported by my new customer but also to add new features he needed. Among other things, QCodeEdit has gained :

• support for variable width fonts
• support for case sensitivity fine-tunning in syntax definition files
• column selection
• column edition
• cursor mirrors (an extension of the column selection)
• indent/unindent through a simple action (menu, toolbar or context menu)
  
• comment/uncomment the exact same way, provided the syntax allows it
• much better find/replace (now works as expected )
