I’m currently struggling to set the properties of the active configuration of a file in a macro:

// toggle show spaces
if (document.Config.Mark.ShowSpaces) {
document.Config.Mark.ShowSpaces = false;
} else {
document.Config.Mark.ShowSpaces = true;
}

and

with (document.Config.Indent) {
TabColumns = 4;
InsertSpaces = true;
WrapIndent = true; }
document.Config.Save();

Neither of these give an error message but when alert()-ing the properties they are not changed nor does EmEditor act like they’ve changed. Can anybody shed any light?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

Please try this way:

	cfg = document.Config;

	if (cfg.Mark.ShowSpaces) {

	cfg.Mark.ShowSpaces = false;

	} else {

	cfg.Mark.ShowSpaces = true;

	}

	cfg.Save();

Thanks, this works. A bit slow, however. I personally think this “show spaces” should be triggered by the Marks button. All these “marks” are also customized in one place, why aren’t they shown in one place? In many editors showing line breaks and spaces is done by the same button.

I will consider the option to customize which marks can be trigerred by the button. Thanks!

Can we have a button to toggle line numbers on and off?

Hello derekcohen,

Yes, it is included in v10 RC.

[derekcohen]

can I have a macro to toggle word wrap between none and window (ie between Control+1 and Control+3)?

thanks

Derek

Hello Derek,

Here is the macro to toggle between no wrap and wrap by window.

	if( editor.QueryStatusByID( 4210 ) & eeStatusLatched ){

		editor.ExecuteCommandByID( 4208 );  // no wrap

	}

	else {

		editor.ExecuteCommandByID( 4210 );  // by window

	}
