I don't necessarily need them right now, but I think that the following would be the most useful for anyone doing web related work: javascript, css, & SQL.
Congratulations on your progress! As far as I am concerned, you have me covered because C and XML is pretty much all I do and need.
It looks like you have abandoned your original idea to make a new text editing gadget class to replace the horrid and old texteditor.gadget. That's a pity because while we already have a few decent programmer's editors (and it's always good to have a greater choice), the non-existence of a sophisticated text editing gadget is a considerable shortcoming in OS4's GUI programming framework.
That seems great. I would like to add in your list JSON, BlitzBasic and Amiga catalog file (CT, CD), but of course it's up to you if you want to support these.
Is there going to be a way for people create their own syntax highlighting, so that they can contribute to your work?
Thx for starting another Project and holding on on AmigaOS. Arexx and AmigaDOS script would be my preference too.
On a side note we so often get many concurring software projects in Amiga-land.
Now we have lots of editors in CodeBench, CubicIDE (ok does not count as it's sadly not maintained and not OS4 native), MultiEdit, CED and Annotate 3 and now Struct. :)

And none of editors we have have normal ability to do vertical selection of text areas like done in lets say "Far" on win32, or notepad++.
Those editors which use richeditor.gadget was close to (like still unreleased codepad), but still none offer ability to setup key kombo for it by user, and if i remember right richeditor.gadget have bugs in that terms.
So in end while we have lots editors, i use win32's notepad++ in end.
And yeah, Trixie is right. There need one big feature rich texteditor gadget class, then on top of it can be done anything. That richeditor.gadget class was about it, but it didnt developed anymore, and not sure if it freely open with sdk and stuff..

AFAIK Peter Gordon handed the development over to Rigo, who decided to further develop the gadget for the purposes of CodeBench. Sadly, with the latest updates the gadget has become unusable on Sam440 machines (slow to the point that it swallows keystrokes) And the SDK has never been publicly released (nor I think it will be any time soon).

Vim can do this and has syntax highlight for almost every needs and if a particular language/format doesnt exist it can be done making a new syntax definition.
I just updated the gadegt on my SAM Flex and don;t find it slow at all.
The full Codebench prgram's feature set has expanded considerably though, perhaps you need to switch some features off? I never ran it with the maxiumu dictionalary settings for example. It takes ages to load a quite old version of SketchBlock's project on the SAM where it's more than 10x fater on the X1K but that is down to disk access speeds not the editor parts.
Not sure if it is something different you are looking for, but ANN has vertical selection. It's called "rectangular selection". You can find the entry in the Settings Menu: Settings>Rectangular Selection. The Keyboard shortcut is RAmiga-y.
GoldEd (CubicIDE) has that too, but as already said it's 68k. And as Trixie wrote also StormED has vertical selection.
