When looking more detailed to the code last days, I asked myself if Chong has a private version of the code including some comments. However, I guess he does not need it: his thoughts seem to be direct prime programming language ;-). Smart code, Chong!

I liked the syntax-highlighting editor and viewer a lot, but for my daily usage, it was missing a search feature. Version 1.2 beta of the editor is my attempt to add

• search all ('Symb' key)
• search forward ('Plot' key)
• search backward ('Num' key)
  

to the existing code. Tested with Virtual Calculator 2.1.14181 (2018 10 16) on win 8 and 2.1.14294 (219 10 2) on Android 7.1 Hoping for a limited number of probs with the code. Enjoy!

The editor with highlighting and search looks really useful! Thanks to you both.

Some feedback after initial use:
*The Help system doesn't work in the editor.
*Using the touchscreen to position cursor stops working at some point to the right. Cursor keys do work.
*SHIFT Chars does not work. So no way to add comments //
*Copy and Paste do not work
*It would be nice to be able to return to a selected line number from the search menu

Thanks again for a useful program. It would be fantastic if these features of highlighting and search made it into the native prime editor
