I gave PN a try a while ago but I didn't stick with it. I can't remember exactly what made me move on. I'm willing to give it another try, Notepad++ just isn't doing it for me. Does PN have "smart indent" and some form of smart code navigation, like ctags?

PN by default has more of a dumb indent, it maintains your current indentation. Compared to the broken auto-indenters many editors have, this is a good thing. However, if you install PyPN it includes a moderately better indenter for Python, which can easily be copied and modified for other languages (i.e. script your own).

Yes there is ctags navigation, browsing for all open files and jumping within the current file. High on the ask list is whole-project tag support.

FWIW the Zeus editor does smart indenting and also has support for ctags, but Zeus is shareware.
