Double tap behaviour

[ropery]

1. Right now, in view mode, double tapping the text is exactly the same as pushing the pencil button, i.e. enter edit mode; the cursor is put at the very end of the text. I think this can be improved, so that the cursor is put at the point of tapping. This should be easy to implement for plain text mode. Not sure about Markdown/HTML.
2. Right now the user must double tap inside the text region for it to register. I think the user would expect to be able to do it anywhere inside the main frame. If the case where the tap is outside the actual text region, put the cursor at the end of the text, or perhaps "last position".
3. Could it be single tap instead?

Good suggestions.

1. Right now I use separate fragments for view mode and edit mode, so it wouldn't be as simple as you might think to dynamically insert the cursor at the position where the user double-tapped the text.
2. I agree, a double-tap anywhere inside the text region is expected and would be more intuitive. This is something I've looked into in the past, but would require a bit of rearchitecting.
3. This was deliberately changed from a single-tap to a double-tap in Notepad 2.1.4 to allow for text selection in view mode. Requiring a double-tap also makes clicking links more intuitive.

I'll look into implementing suggestions 1 and 2 in a future version.

Issue number 2 (double-tapping) was fixed as of Notepad 2.3
