QuickText on halt, pynpp on its way

Recently, I was thinking of improving QuickText to its next version, featuring better configuration files, mirror and randomly ordered hotspots. When I finally decided to get my hands dirty, I found myself trying to catch up with the C/C++ code I had done a few months ago - its readability was awful. Notepad++ allows plugins through DLL files that use the Windows messaging system to communicate with the application - mainly written in C ou C++. It all works beautifully but not as elegant and as productive as one would wish.

Today I started the pynpp project on Google Code, a plugin that offers Python plugins to Notepad++. It will feature an API for better and faster programming of plugins, and of course provide all the wonders of Python.

Also, QuickText will be completelly rewritten in Python and the project will be moving to Google Code.
