I didn't mind edit and editarea, but I like the idea better of having both named edit with an optional parameter.

thanks,

A little too long to easily remember, I think.

Edit, S
Hard to have commas inside a parameter without escaping them, and the alternative (EditS/EditM) is not a very readable.

Seems too verbose?

Maybe I can have it auto-detect the type of edit via the height specified: if that height in pixels equates to more than 1.5 lines for the currently selected font, it would be a multi-line edit by default. This might lead to ambiguity problems, but I'll certainly look into it.

All your comments and votes are definitely appreciated (more are of course welcome).
