Hej.
No, HiEdit can't do it, and I am not aware of any editor that can do it.
It is certainly a good feature and I am too interested to know the answer.
One interesting thing to note is that it would be possible to implement such editor in AHK, I think 
The idea is kinda extreme but not that hard to implement:
1. Instantiate hiedit and set event to monitor text changes.
2. On any change, grab visible text.
3. Using defined regular expressions, search that text for it.
4. If you find that expression, you take literal word you found, add it to the hes file, and set the new hes file again.
This is enough so you can add RE words, but it still will not be enough to highlight sentences, but again, I don't know any editor that can highlight key sentences.
So, this dynamic hes file building may do the trick.
Actually, speaking about it, modern editors are IMO way bellow what should they have been in 2009. I mean, there are 1000 of them and all are similar or pure garbadge. Vim is different tho, but I still wait to see editor that can support things you said, custom highlighting, language-independent regions (vim has this), custom marking, unconnected copy regions, mark saving (vim has it partially), regular expression search and replace with entire text (edit plus has it), independent multi syntax highlighting (some has it for specific languages, like CSS+HTML+JS, but nothing is there for general scenario)

Btw. EmEditor can do this, but is limited to only 10 regex definitions. Sometimes limitations can be useful and let one concentrate on essential and relevant things/information but it would be great to break this limitation with the help of ahk and maybe also HiEdit. |

I guess that is primary concern about that thing - Parsing bunch of reg-exps is probably slow if you don't limit the count.
It was pretty bad design idea to hard-code the limit tho. Users with faster computers could allow themselves larger number of RE's, especialy non complex ones... Perhaps you could influence the author to add some configuration flag that will by default be 10.
Also, there are light RE implementations. I have one such library here, and it contains most important subset of PERL RE. Size and speed are priority for such library. Utilising such library in editor project is perhaps the way to go.
Thx for information automaticman, it may come handy one day...

It would seem from the hiedit.inc file that drag-and-drop selection/insertion is built-in to the control. And it actually works perfectly well in the hieditdemo.
But unlike the standard cut/copy/paste functions (ctrl-a/c/v/x etc), which "just work" with the HiEdit control, the drag and drop does not.
Is there something I need to be doing to enable this, or is it just a weird thing about the control (in which case i might try to put together a HiEdit analog of this?
Thanks,
rulfzid |

I never noticed that because I never use this feature in any editor.
What you say seems right. I don't know why it doesn't work.

No.
Its meaningless here, because you don't have any formating options except color. If you want to export colorised text its easy to create script that will consider Keywords.hes and produce html out of input, even rtf altho a bit harder.

return
SearchNow:
ControlGetText,controltxt,HiEdit1,%sourcename%
Loop,parse,controltxt,`n,`r
{
IfInString,A_LoopField,%CmnDlg_FindWhat%
{
line := a_index
StringGetPos,pos,A_LoopField,%CmnDlg_FindWhat%
HE_LineScroll(hEdit,pos,line)
;HE_ScrollCaret(hEdit)

Ill fix this _Test.ahk problem and repost it.
Thanks for report.

OK, I fixed that error. Like I said, it was due to the fact that I changed CmnDlg to use dynamic functions instead labels, and didn't change that code in _Test.ahk
CTRL F to search, F3 to search next when you close the find dialog.
All search features work except searching upwards which I didn't implement. After all, this is only preview of features.
