Can't beleive that I missed this ... sorry ...
why on earth can't I press shift-f2 in the scratchpad to get the online help for the selected word ?
Aaarrgh.
Right now context sensitive help (Shift-F2) is not available for ScratchPad view. We will consider this feedback as input and include it in ScratchPad backlogs.
Thanks for valuable feedback.
Thanks

You missed that? ;-)

And while you're at it, pls also include the ability to use the Eclipse workspace file save as dialog as an option to the Windows file save as.
When scratch files become valuable part of the work and you want to save it, it's likely that you want to save it as a workspace resource.
We considered Windows Save As dialog over eclipse workspace Save As, because windows save-as provides flexibility of saving ScratchPad tab content to current workspace as well as to file system.

I certainly see that. But the reality is, that most programmers will probably have a project (maybe as part of multiple workspaces) for scratch files. Because that will also provide SCM integration with the team provider.
With the Windows file save as dialog you have to "search" for this central folder whenever you need once of the scratch files. The Eclipse save as dialog get's this all in the warm cosy workspace configuration, once setup, a great help forever.
I'm always in need of help
How about simply adding all normal editor behavior to the scratchpad editor?
The scratchpad seemed like it would be a great replacement to firing up a prowin32 client - but in it's current state it is too crippled to be any use.
Thank you for providing valuable feedback. We will consider this as input for backlog grooming.
Thanks
