well, sorry for the very naive suggestion (I'm both new to D & dedit)
I have a patch not perfect but good enough for dedit:

// === in view.d
    void loadFile (char [] filename)
    {
        // main code

        // I add this
        global.root.addDocument(document);
        doclist.paint ();
    }
//=====

recompile, oups dmd 0.50 has a lot of surprise...
and it worked !
I open new file and they display on the left...
I could use them now, on.....

Also, how to close a project or start a new one ?

line number would be cool... :-)

I tried hard to use tab ('\t') in dedit.
absolutly necessary to write any makefile....

if I make the followind modification it nearly work correctly
// === main_comands.d ==
    void Indent (View view)
    {
        with (view.document)
        {
            char [] l = lines [line];
            char [] i;

            //i.length = (offset + view.indentsize) / view.indentsize *
view.indentsize - offset;
            //i [0 .. i.length] = " ";
            i = "\t"; // use '\t', no, no space

            setLine (line, l [0 .. offset] ~ i ~ l [offset .. l.length]);
            offset += i.length;
            view.caretChange ();
        }
    }

// === digcanvas.d ===
    void text (int x, int y, char [] string)
    {
        RECT rect;

        rect.left = x;
        rect.top = y;
        rect.right = x + 64000;
        rect.bottom = y + 640;
        // TabbedTextOutA() instead of DrawTextA
        TabbedTextOutA(hdc, x, y, string, string.length, 0, null, 0);
    }
// ===============
of course I add to i need to import these functions:
//===========
extern (Windows)
{
 export LONG TabbedTextOutA(HDC,int,int,LPCSTR,int,int,LPINT,int);
 export LONG TabbedTextOutW(HDC,int,int,LPCWSTR,int,int,LPINT,int);
}
//===========

the (mysterious) problem is, the cursor is half a character mispositioned by
tab  in lines where there is a tab, obviously due to baseX (baseX=0 solve
the problem), but I don't see how...

I'll put in global and highlighting options for tab behaviour and a 
makefile highlighter.
