What's wrong with using a TMemo?

Text search and replacement can be added to every control containing 
text. Also the keyboard handling is configurable in almost every control.

More critical are text attributes, which must be supported by the 
control itself, but you didn't mention such a requirement.

Syntax highlighting were another topic, which should be supported by the 
control - but it also can be implemented by OwnerDraw.
