I would also like to thank xtabber for mentioning John McPhee’s book, which I was unaware of.

Perhaps this could be a separate topic, but in the past I have searched quite a bit for other editors like Kedit that provide such “line-oriented” editing. It would be great to have more options filling this niche. In my past searches for text editors that provide some form of saved searches for lines of text within a document, I have found UltraEdit to be the most capable, although EditPad Pro also does this. And there are certainly other options, especially for Windows. I liked the UltraEdit option because I could use it on my Mac, too, although I have yet to purchase it.
