Select some text.
Open Start Window (via shortcut key).
Press Esc key.
** It should close Start Window only, without affecting the selection.Open a new window (with Start Window automatically opened).
Drag and drop text into the window.
** I think the Start Window should close automatically.Meanwhile, I think an option to disable “middle-button scroll mode” would be nice, if it’s simple to implement.
Another issue:
Turn on “Incremental Search” on Filter toolbar.
Close Filter Toolbar.
Use “Set Focus Filter Toolbar” command to show it.
Type something in Filter toolbar.
** Incremental Search doesn’t work instantly.Suggestion:
Some tools change the search box background color (e.g. to pink) for incremental search when there’s no match.I tried some and think no font can avoid it here.
And with default settings in portable version, I tried all the default font categories.
Only the initial “OEM/DOS” shows a gap (but with a dot), which looks odd (see the left image), though by opening its font I see “Consolas”. If I click OK in Font dialog, then it shows the normal “Consolas” (same as “Western European” in the right image). So it seems the initial “OEM/DOS” category has another certain issue.
> Issue 4:
In KeyboardMap/QuickLaunch,
Deselect the text in the search box.
Ctrl+A in the search box.
Repeat the 2 steps above.
** I often see a flicker in the list. (Selecting all in the list before doing the 2 steps might make the flicker more observable.)
I think the flicker means the list is refreshed (unnecessarily).** The flicker also occurs when I press Down key in the search box.

Issue 5:
In KeyboardMap/QuickLaunch,
Deselect the text in the search box.
Ctrl+A in the search box.
Press Up key in the search box.
** The focus leaves the search box. (Only happens after these steps.)> Inserting newline characters in multi-caret mode
The newlines (inserted with Enter key) should match to the method used at the current line, like SplitLines/InsertNewlineCharacters commands do.
And also hope the three commands below can be used:
Insert CR.
Insert LF
Insert CR and LF.+ Suggestion 2:
Is it possible to make Drag-and-Drop also available for multiple selections?
For instance, move/copy multiple (incontiguous) cells to another position relatively.At the bottom, it should be trigged only in the last totally-visible line, rather than in the last second totally-visible line. Otherwise, the issue will still occur in the last totally-visible line.
Another request:
Initial text:
A:
()
()
()
B:
()
()
()
()
()
C:
()
()Select a “(“.
Select All Occurrences.
Press Esc key once.
Now all the cursors are in “()”s.Is it possible to get the result as below by using Numbering just once?
A:
(1)
(2)
(3)
B:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
C:
(1)
(2)In a non-TSV mode (eg. CSV, DSV, |-SV, …),
“x(one or more Tabs)x” is displayed as “xx”, as if no character were there.+ Suggestion:
UltraEdit supports inserting newline characters in multi-caret mode.Currently in EmEditor, pressing Enter key does nothing. But issue 5 occurs.
Wrap by window.
Add a long line till vertical scroll is enabled.
Scroll down. (The long line is still visible.)
Switch to “No Wrap”. (The long line is still visible.)
** Horizontal scroll is not enabled instantly.(Though this issue can be ignored.)
Issue 2 is not fixed.
Issue 4:
Drag in any direction to make a selection, till the view scrolls and (the line of) the anchor point is off the view.
** The view will scroll back to (the line of) the anchor point on mouse releasing.Thank you for all the enhancements!
As for Issue 4, you will be able to press Ctrl + Z (Undo) after you accidentally press Backspace, and then press Delete to delete all selections when v18.2.91 becomes available.
Another example:
Select a string.
Use “Select All Occurrences” command.
Shift+Home.
Backspace.
Can I revert to delete-all-at-once mode now?> Issue 5:
The Copy menu item (Ctrl+C).I use some apps to capture the clipboard changes. But sometimes they are not aware of the changes made by this command.
Then I use NirSoft InsideClipboard and it shows that this command only changes CF_UNICODETEXT format. It does not change CF_TEXT and CF_OEMTEXT. I think this is why other apps might miss the change.Issue 2 still exists.
Issue 5:
The “Copy” behavior here is odd:
after the clipboard is changed by any other app, this “Copy” command will fail to send the title to the clipboard.Suggestion 3:
Remember the position of “External Tool Properties” box (relative to the parent window).The names are still there in the list.
But I cannot tell which configuration uses which theme.I see the “Themes” value only keeps the names and settings of themes. The theme name that a configuration is using must have been saved in that configuration settings. But apparently it is already removed/lost, isn’t it?
Names are less important than the theme settings.
I might make time to export and rebuild them.—————
Highlight(1):Issue A:
Select an item whose color is “(None)”.
Add.
** The color for the new item should also be “(None)”.Issue B:
Select an item.
Click its color in the list to change it.
** The item now is in editing mode.Issue C:
Now the Color column is on the right side, and wider (than the left icon), more easy to be clicked by accident. And the result is annoying…
(And its text is truncated by default, one might miss the unwanted change.)
The old design (clicking left icon changes the color) is much better. Currently the icon has no use, but takes the room.
At least need a more cautious way for color switching, maybe middle-clicking?Issue D:
As for the truncated colors, if the shortened names are not a good idea (https://www.emeditor.com/forums/topic/truncated-items/), how about making (all) such windows maximizable, so when we want to see all the truncated text, we need not drag to change the size of the window/column. We just (1) press “Alt+Space – X”, or (2) double-click the title bar, or (3) click the Maximize button.
Or, refer to Windows’ Open/Save dialog, which has no Maximize button, but can be pseudo-maximized via (1) or (2).Issue E:
“RefreshCommonSettings” is not in Highlight(1).I suggest using CamelCase in VBEE/VBS by default.
Similar to the 1st post,
Enable “Auto-Complete Brackets/Quotation Marks”.
Select “ABC”.
Use this Snippet: ${0:${SelText}}$0
Now the Text should be “ABCABC”. And the left “ABC” is selected.
Press “(“.
** The selected text is erased by “()”.
