Hi, EmEditor is very nice, congratulations on making such a fine product! But a few things bother me. I have some small feature requests:
* I love the “Set Word/Text to Find” hotkey but I would also like a “Set Word/Text to Replace” hotkey.
* It would be nice to be able to configure a “Replace and Find Next” hotkey.
* A “Replace Selection” (“Replace without find next”) hotkey would also be good. It would replace the selection if it matches to the Find text, and that is all, it doesn’t find the next occurrence.
* Option to disable Drag & Drop editing would be good.
* Do not exit EmEditor when last document is closed.
* BUG: When editing the properties of the Hyperlink HTML buttons, where it says “Insert Tags” and “Begin:”, if you attempt to edit the text there (““) the text is TRUNCATED.
* Right-click in line numbers to move insertion point to start of that line. (Left-click to select entire line.) Currently it is not so easy to click to place insertion point at start of line.
* When no text is selected, Copy (Ctrl-C) should copy the entire current line (the line that contains the insertion point).
* When no text is selected, Cut (Ctrl-X) should cut the entire current line (the line that contains the insertion point).
* Syntax highlighting supporting nested comments (comments inside comments — some languages allow this).
* Option to disable use of the “Find Highlight” for the “Find Next” hotkey, while still having it enabled for the “Find” command that shows the Find window. So Find window shows the find highlight, but “find next” hotkey does not.
* In “Display” tab in Properties, an option to edit the color/style of line numbers for changed lines. Currently it makes the line number bold and there does not seem to be any way to configure that.
Thank you!
Since this is suggestion forum, I will not comment on every opinion, but here are some suggestions:
* Do not exit EmEditor when last document is closed.
Check “Do Not Close Last Document by Selecting Close Command” on the Window tab of the Customize dialog box.
* BUG: When editing the properties of the Hyperlink HTML buttons, where it says “Insert Tags” and “Begin:”, if you attempt to edit the text there (““) the text is TRUNCATED.
You have to scroll right to edit the whole text here.
* Option to disable use of the “Find Highlight” for the “Find Next” hotkey, while still having it enabled for the “Find” command that shows the Find window. So Find window shows the find highlight, but “find next” hotkey does not.
If you do not want to highlight found text at all, you can set “0” in the Search Colors in the Display tab of Configuration Properties.
Thanks for your comments. I am sure some of your inputs will be reflected in next major version.
Check “Do Not Close Last Document by Selecting Close Command” on the Window tab of the Customize dialog box.
Ah. I did not understand the meaning of that option. Maybe it would be better if it were renamed to:
[x] “Exit EmEditor when last document is closed”* BUG: When editing the properties of the Hyperlink HTML buttons, where it says “Insert Tags” and “Begin:”, if you attempt to edit the text there (““) the text is TRUNCATED.
You have to scroll right to edit the whole text here.
That is not the problem. The text box is limited to a maximum of 79 characters but the default text is longer than 79 characters. When you try to edit the default text, it then becomes chopped down to 79 characters. The limit needs to be increased to, for example, 150 characters.
If you do not want to highlight found text at all, you can set “0” in the Search Colors in the Display tab of Configuration Properties.
I like using the find highlight sometimes, but not when using the “Find Next” hotkey. It would be good if I could disable find highlight normally, but then have a “Find with Highlight” button in the Find window that I can click when I want to use the find highlight feature.
Thanks!
