I would not use any crud GUI editor, but, does qedit or TSE let you mark the 
first column of a paragragh, press space or tab to indent the whole thing a 
space or tab at a time, or delete spaces to move the whole column over?   I 
use this feature a lot when writing code and neither QEDIT, QEDIT/2 ver 3.0 
nor TSE ver 2.0 do this.  Boxer does. Boxer also has UNDO and ReDO for last 
series of changes, making changes less tramtic if you want to get back 
quickly to where you were.  Also has color syntax highlighting, better than 
TSE's and non-existant in Qedit.  It also remembers any search and replaces 
you did, and lets you pick them from a pop up list if you want, also 
remembers your last commands to a shell (Ctrl F9 in TSE and boxer) so you can 
quickly scroll through them.  It is also very configurable, comes with 
multiple keyboards, including QEDIT, WP, WordStar, Brief and many others.  I 
of course use the QEDIT keyboard. 
I hated switching, but what can you do?  I'm also not thrilled with TSE being 
put out with a 4000 keystroke limit.  I don't carry that type of product on 
my BBS. I liked it better when it was commercial.  
Somehow this type of marketing doesn't belong on FidoNet.  Either go 
shareware or commercial, you can't have the best of both worlds, at my 
expense.
