Create option to open a specific file

Right now, the text editor is reading and writing/saving files but it's opening whatever .txt file is available. For example, I have the FirstNames.txt in the same folder as the source code and when I compile my code, the .txt file automatically opens the file instead of giving an option for the user to open a different .txt file that may be in the same folder.

Displaying more from the status line

Currently status line at the bottom is not displaying some of the options it has. In addition, it does not display some of the stuff that is hardcoded into the file. This issue is found in the keyInputs.cpp lines 240 through lines 250 and lines 270 through lines 283

have milestones #5 and #6 work in TextEditor

I have milestone 5 and milestone 6 in separate folders (they work) but so far I'm still trying to figure out how these milestones can be merged into the TextEditor source code without messing up too much the current code for either milestone 5/6 or the TextEditor source code

Saving Files

Saving a file works but I would like to improve it by not having to hardcode the name of the file to just say "Untitled" and also not overwrite each save file to that same destination. Figuring out a way to let the user get the option to input a title of their own for the new file and not having that file being overwritten. Issue is found in keyInputs.cpp lines 7 through 20 and 262 through 284

Backspace

backspace doesn't actually delete, it somehow works as a tab but also it makes it look like you did delete the character. However, when pressing the delete key, the character pops up when deleting with the arrow keys. This issue would be found in my keyInputs.cpp between lines 123 through lines 147.

Displaying/Reading a File

the screen at one point showed at least character by character of a file but it did not display/read the file correctly. this issue could be found in the keyInputs.cpp lines 29 through lines 44
