I use Textpad as a text editor, so far I have found few of the features to be invaluable, please list features and keyboard shortcuts you find to be useful.

CTRL + SHIFT + G : Selecting a file name and pressing this key combination will open this file in the editor.
ALT + Mouse Left click + drag : This will let you select (to copy or cut) text vertically.
CTRL + F5 : Find in files in subfolders.
CTRL + M : To locate the matching end/begin braces.
Regular expression support in find and replace.
CTRL + F9 : Compare files
Editable syntax hilighting
Macros
Abundance of free extensions

Hope there are people out there who use Textpad.
