The user should be able to paint cells simultaneously with a character, background color, and character color (or any combination of these 3)

The editor should automate the choosing of Special info characters, and the user should be able to place special info in cells without being concerned with codes

When a word is too long to fit on a single line of the destination rectangle, it will not be displayed in its entirety. Fix this to display the word, hyphenated

Characters and colors in a surface should be allowed to be "empty" so they don't overwrite data in surfaces below them when blitted

There's a lot of repetitive and ugly code that could possibly be refactored.

Allow variably sized rectangular brushes for painting tiles. Larger brushes should also have a hollow/filled option for drawing borders.

Learn to wrap C++ libraries for use in C# code to avoid re-writing ASCIILib classes for use in the Surface Editor.

Images need to be loaded and stored in a separate ImageCache class, to avoid circular dependence between Surface and Graphics

This should be accomplished with a special Opacity Toggling brush

In order to render characters as they will be seen in a real ASCIILib game, it may be necessary to use something other than WinForms Graphics to text rendering in the editor

Users should be able to change the background color of the SurfacePanel

When the mouse hovers over a cell of the surface, that cell's complete information should be displayed at the bottom of the window (below the surface view panel)
