What were the features that were most important to you in your text editor? Did you try to build it for multiple types of workflows?

One of the first thing I added was Leap keys-type search, I didn't want modes.

The second was pragma-mark navigation, so I can always see a overview of the codebase.

I also wanted a local copy buffer specific to the project I work on, so I could easily manage multiple copies of the clipboard data(it's part of how I work).
