Hello,
Just want to add. In most code editors today when the cursor is positioned after a tab character and the user presses the down key, the editor caret should be placed visually below the old position (that is, after the tab). In TortoiseMerge (at least from my observation) the down key will place the caret at the position *logically* below the old character. Meaning, if I am one tab from the start of the line, and I press the down key, the caret will be at one char from the start of the line.
This may not be a big issue to most software projects, but for some where people mix tabs and spaces for indentation this can be a really big issue.
Regards,
Joel
