Text Editor

[C_ntua]

I would like two functionalities on text editors in general
1) When changing a page the rest of the pages don't get affected. For example, when delteting a text the text from the next page doesn't move up. My goal is to keep pages intact. Usually when I press enter everything in the whole document goes down.
2) To be able to move a whole text left or right. Like a piece of code moving right/left. By moving right left I mean entering/deleting spaces infront of every line in a selected piece of code

Can those two things be done in text editors? Maybe there is a way but haven't figured it out. I am speaking for both IDE for coding and text editors like MS Word, Writer on OpenOffice

Thanx

Text Editors? or Word Processors?
Text editors are things like notepad or TextPad. Word Processors are the programs you gave an example of.

1) When changing a page the rest of the pages don't get affected. For example, when delteting a text the text from the next page doesn't move up. My goal is to keep pages intact. Usually when I press enter everything in the whole document goes down.

This is done by simply inserting a PageBreak above the point where you want to start a new page. Any text above it will not affect the text below.

2) To be able to move a whole text left or right. Like a piece of code moving right/left. By moving right left I mean entering/deleting spaces infront of every line in a selected piece of code

This is achieved by editing in Column Mode. Now, I'm unsure if Word Processors have column mode. Many Text Editors have it. But I don't think Microsoft Word does, for instance. However you can create text regions. In Word they are called Text Boxes and are accessible from the Insert Menu. This will allow you to create a region for text you wish to freely move around the page.

What? Are you writing code in a word processor?!?!

Thx, I ll look them up.
Not writting code in word processor, but wanted the two features for both coding and writting. Was just easier to ask here than google

It does sound like you want a word-processor over a text or presumably programmers editor. Requirement #1 makes no sense in any language I have ever coded in...requirement #2 is available in most editors (Emacs for example). Note that because Python is indentation-sensitive an editor that supports that will have something to handle requirement 2 pretty much front and center such as Dr. Python on Linux.
