Proposal for a better text editor
Chronon:
You'll notice that I said "first step". You are welcome to continue to discuss other interface ideas. :)
DancemasterGlenn:
And you know I will, haha :P
Llorean:
My point with "400 characters" was that any future solutions should take into account loadable layouts that aren't restricted to the alphabet we use in English. A long linear strip of characters is pretty much the worse possible way to move through a very long list of characters, especially since you can't see them all. Having it display as many characters as possible, and with the ability to move forward/backward a page at a time too, improves this problem greatly.
DefineByte:
The longest alphabet appears to be 74 characters. Should be able to accommodate that easily with scroll acceleration. I guess Kanji and the like could be split over multiple lines. x)
Llorean:
Does that count include characters in that alphabet, English letters (for recognizable extensions at least), numbers, and all associated non-alphanumeric symbols?
And again, wouldn't you prefer to SEE which direction to scroll? You don't seem to get this: The controls would be essentially the same as the linear mode suggested, it would just offer the option of OTHER controls and the ability to SEE what you wanted. What exactly is your problem with it? Or perhaps, what advantages does your method offer?
