Hi Regex-coach,
A couple more "minor" feature suggestions.
1) Step Tab
Add a "Previous step" button.
2) Step Tab
Add logging.
Perhaps a "Log" pane that could be saved, or at least cut/paste.
3) Help | Documentation
When I clicked Help | Documentation nothing occurred.
I thought it might just take the user to the web Quick Start Tutorial.
4) Step Tab
At some point I must have selected the regular expression in the Step tab Regular expression pane at the bottom. When selected the background is grey. When I then clicked on the "Next Step" button, the helpful red background coloring wasn't appearing in the Step tab Regular expression pane to indicate the regex position.
The same thing happens if the user (me :-)) selects the text in the Step tab Target string pane. The yellow/grey coloring doesn't appear. I might have used the mouse as I was thinking about things, and that is when the selection occurred. I couldn't figure out why the red/yellow/grey highlighting wasn't working :-) when I was clicking the Start and Next buttons.
Maybe when the user clicks on the "Start" button remove all the selections (i.e., the text background is white) in both Step panes.
Environment: Win/XP and Regex Coach 0.9.2
Thank you.

Thanks for the useful suggestions. I'll add them to my list of things that should be done. Right now, the development of the Regex Coach is kind of frozen as I'm too busy with paid work, but there's always a chance I'll pick it up again in the near future.
Cheers, Edi.
