Show HN: Lightweight C++ editor that understands your code

I like the concept, would definitely try out again when it's a bit further along. Main things from a quick look:

- Today's monitors have plenty of horizontal space but a shortage of vertical space; the context window needs to be alongside, rather than under, the code window.

- Ctrl-C/X without a selection should copy/cut the current line.

- Autocomplete doesn't seem to work, e.g. type 'st' for the beginning of the 'static' keyword and nothing happens - the underlying mechanism is there and working, because manually triggered completion with ctrl-space does work.

Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it. Everyone uses their editor slightly differently so I'm trying to hear from as many people as possible.

If you want to know when its more refined click the "Let me know when its ready" button on http://slededit.com

As the alternate opinion, I like the context editor underneath - I always vertically split (even on widescreen), as I can't scan horizontally in that respect.

Make it optional and provide both - always the answer ;)

Also - thanks for writing useful lightweight Windows development software - there's a serious shortage at the moment as most tools (outside Microsoft) have switched to Linux/OSX.
