Ferrum 0.1.1

Install this one by hand. The in-app updater has never worked: it downloaded, closed the editor and changed nothing, every time, because the installer was started standing inside the folder it exists to replace and Windows will not rename a directory a running process sits in. The fix is in the editor that starts it, so it takes effect from this build onward and the update after this one will work.

Editing gains delete-word on ctrl-backspace and ctrl-delete, whole-line copy and cut with nothing selected, expand-selection-to-line on ctrl-l, sort, reverse and de-duplicate lines, six case transforms, cursor undo on ctrl-u, and text zoom on ctrl with plus, minus or nought. Files can indent with tabs, and end with a newline when they are saved.

Navigation gains back and forward through jumps on alt-left and alt-right, reopen closed tab on ctrl-shift-t, and ctrl-tab cycling in the order files were last read rather than along the strip. The window reopens with the tabs, carets and geometry it was closed with.

Splits gain a divider that drags, a tab that can be carried from one column into another, and no longer draw their text over the column beside them.

The dark surfaces are a flatter near-black, the word under the caret is banded wherever else it appears, a completion brings its import with it, and the words already in the file are offered where no language server can answer.
