General Editing

Sontana is a text editor so has many of the usual features of a text editor, such as cut, copy and paste; load/save, insert files etc etc. There are no special font styles and there is only one font for the whole text.

Sontana's way of doing things may differ in the following:

• When you load or save a file, the name is shown in the window's title bar.
• When you modify a loaded or saved file, the name has a plus sign next to it (+) until you save it.
• If you try to quit without saving your file and you have changed it, Sontana can bug you. There are several levels of annoyance on the Modification Reminders menu from "bug you a lot" to "never bug you". If you receive a "Mother may I quit ?" dialogue then this really is your last chance to save the file.
• The window's size will be saved if you save settings.
• Settings are only saved if you choose the Save Settings menu option. Closing the window any other way will lose changed settings.
• The first line number is 1. If you jump to a specific line number then start counting from 1.
