Although there are a lot of nice things to say about the RB code editor
(automatic indention, autocomplete, color coding of keywords, etc.) I do
agree that improvements can be made. My biggest complaint is that the RB
code editor works like an editor should work on a Mac even with the Windows
IDE. Because of that selecting words and so on is frustrating for me. It
would also be nice to have some more editing functions. For instance, I like
to start and end my structures and then fill in the middle. So after I type
"End If" I'd like a shortcut that would open up an empty line *above* the
current line. I'd also like to have more keyboard control over the code
editor's tree list. Although mice make learning things much easier, keyboard
control is virtually always faster. (There are exceptions.)

What we both need to do is submit feature requests for the things that we
would like to see. You can do that here:
