None, I have to click on it to get focus. I can't click inside
a Header.

I can, however, include a header in the selection of text
using pos1/end and delete the header.

Ian, how difficult do you think it would be to track line type
(soap) via "markers" on the left "margin" ? That's a concept
the STC offers.

Mine already does. Pressing ENTER goes to the next section. Or
do you mean "from any line within the section" ?

As it should, tabs are useful for structuring.

How difficult is it to enable adding a line at the end of a
section instead of going to the next section ?

I think it has merit.
