2.00 TextEditor

Provides a multiline text editor.

• Forces a monospace font, because it makes things way easier.
• Supports most common commands - copy, paste, selections, navigation, tab, backtab, etc.
• Due to Reaper limitations, tab characters are automatically replaced with four spaces.
• Does not support word wrapping yet, unfortunately.
