Of course negative indexes are fine -- they behave logical and are very
helpful -- we use them a lot in Ruby. And for the case where you really
be afraid of them -- simple redefine the array access operator [] so
that it throws an exception for a negative index. That is very easy in
Ruby, and should be possible in Python too.

You may consider turning on permanent spell checking if you are using
gvim, gedit, or evolution. That is helpful if eyes are tired -- unknown
words are underlined with a red wiggled line.

Yes -- but I think it should be integrated in a schematics editor :-)
Do you have very good knowledge about GTK3? My knowledge is not very
good -- currently I wonder how bad my schematics editor may look on a
high resolution display with 200 DPI. Not well I guess, I have specified
some sizes, i.e. separation between widgets or size of text entry field
in pixels -- I know that that is not really smart, but it seems that
there is still no character based size unit like the \em or \ex known
from LaTeX. I have seen some discussions of GTK developers about this
high DPI issue recently -- seems they have decided to ignore it until
GTK5 or higher. But the 4k/UHD monitors are not any more too expensive
now, and generally should be fine for CAD applications. Generally it
should be good enough for now for my editor to know users default font
size in pixels -- so I can calculate for example the size of a text
entry or list view widget to have room for i.e. 4 characters -- even in
the case the user has a high resolution display with characters with
large point size. But where can I find default character point size in a
way which works not only for gnome, but also other window managers?
