My final super script: jump to random line in the file, if more than 1 line selected, jump to a random line from them.
The quirky thing here is to remove last “\n”, otherwise next line will also be included which we don’t want.

var text = document.selection.Text;
var last_char = text.slice(-1);
if ( last_char === "\n" )
	text = text.slice(0, -1);

if ( text.indexOf("\n") === -1 ) {
	var lines_total = document.GetLines();
	var line_random = Math.floor((Math.random()*lines_total)+1);
}
else {
	var yTop = document.selection.GetTopPointY(eePosLogical);
	var yBottom = document.selection.GetBottomPointY(eePosLogical);
	if ( last_char === "\n" )
		yBottom = yBottom - 1;
	var line_random = Math.floor((Math.random()*(yBottom - yTop + 1)) + yTop);
}
document.selection.SetActivePoint(eePosLogical, 1, line_random);

Yes, execty this. GetTopPointY is the magic I was looking for. Thanks a lot.

“–” in code is messed up with formating, should be “-“.

I want to set cursor to a random line from selected lines. So if I select 3 lines, run script, it would set cursor to one of them randomly.

My code above works for whole file, I wonder is it possible to do this for selected lines.

Main problem is getting line number for selected lines, after that it is the same as in the previouse code.

[QiaoJiao]

Thanks, got it. Option would be perfect. It is not a big deal, it depends on how you use links.
I often use EmEditor as file browser with search and click, it is my main way for navigating in os for commonly used files.
plain text is life

[QiaoJiao]

Thats it! I forgot that I changed them. Thank you!

“Tag” is confusing, I know them as html tags or tags like for categorizing content. Can’t wrap my head what they have to do with search, so I turned them off.

I use urls and local links a lot.

[QiaoJiao]

Please select Tag Jump instead of Open URL with Default Program

It doesn’t helped. Same behavior – hovering over it don’t change cursor, clicking does nothing. I tried several things, restarted EmEditor.

Can you use the Tag Jump command (F10) to jump?

Yes, it works. So, only clicking has problem.

Few days ago I was messing with links and removed all actions except for hyperlinks. When I found that search also has “active strings”, I tried to restoring it, but nothing changes. I actually don’t know what “tag” is, it is somehow misleading.

I did press “reset” – it restored all options here, but search page still is not working with mouse.

[QiaoJiao]

ok, thank you

It would be great if emeditor have export option for this

[QiaoJiao]

noman9607, thanks, I didn’t expected it in the “view”

[QiaoJiao]

I just upgraded to 14.7.1 (from 14.6.~) and problem is still here. I uninistalled and installed, it didn’t helped..

Press ctrl+F2 — nothing happens
Move screen and return (or press F2) — bookmarks is shown

Removing bookmarks has the same problem. Pressing ctrl+F2 doesn’t remove it, but after refreshing screen, it disappeared. So, bookmarks pointer is shown only after refreshing screen.

On any text file.
Registry file

Not a big deal but a little bit inconvenient.

[QiaoJiao]

Can you type anything at all? Sounds like a read only mode

[QiaoJiao]

Shame on me, it was included in on of the new version.

[QiaoJiao]

Sweet and simple (actually, totally based on Emura code with my brute force comment check).
I assigned it to ctrl+q

if( document.selection.IsEmpty ) {
	editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4154);  // select

	// if line has comment sign
	if ( document.selection.Text.substring(0,2) == '//' ) { // change to (0,1) and '#' if you use #
		editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4372); // uncomment
	} else {
		editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4371); // comment
	}

	document.selection.Collapse();  // unselect
}

[QiaoJiao]

Btw, when I deleted it, the first occurance was deleted, not which was selected.

[QiaoJiao]

Yep, I see it below, didn’t check it.

Thank you.

[QiaoJiao]

wow, I asked this question 4 years ago – http://www.emeditor.com/forums/topic/js-configuration-highlight-without-language-tags/
shame on me :)

[QiaoJiao]

I found it
Highlight2 -> Special Syntax -> None (I used HTML Embedded)

[QiaoJiao]

In properties you can use only minutes.

I will try write macro on Focus Lost.

[QiaoJiao]

Thank you! Now I see it.

[QiaoJiao]

Perl is too messy, use Python.
This will solve a problem.

[QiaoJiao]

I’ve just found that it is possible to use command line options for this:

EmEditor /l 1234 D:file.txt

It is not a macro, but it is much more powerful for my case. I am using it with Python script that counts lines, selects random line and starts a program.

One difference is that SetActivePoint macro sets pointer to the bottom edge of a screen. And /l sets it to the middle.

[QiaoJiao]

No, I am not saying about wrapping in SV view. I am saying about wrapping after it. When you open usual file after SV view.

1. Open text file with long lines
2. Set wrapping to “by window”
3. Set view to SV
4. Set view back to normal (or open other file) – wrapping is set to “no wrap”.

SV does not need wrapping. But it resets wrapping to “no wrap” for normal (not SV) view.

[QiaoJiao]

Thank you, it is exactly what I am looking for.

Actually, I need to jump to a random line. Here is a code for it:

var lines_total = document.GetLines();

	var line_random = Math.floor((Math.random()*lines_total)+1);

	

	document.selection.SetActivePoint(eePosLogical, 1, line_random);

	

[QiaoJiao]

The closest way is:

clipboardData.setData("Text", line_number); 

	editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4139);

Then you have to press “ctrl+v” and “enter”.

[QiaoJiao]

yep, works great! Thanks, Yutaka.

[QiaoJiao]

I Found solution!

1 Check “clicking url select whole string”

2 file://c:something.txt-s:search_this — click it

3 launch macros (binded), that will get and parse selected text. It will open new file with given path and search and goto first match for -s parameter.

Only one additional step – launch script. Not a big deal.
Now it is all about macros possibilities, no core hacking.

But I still think it would be great if it will be possible to make regexp text clickable and bind it to macros. file: and http: works well and they are not special.
