Okay –
1) type some text, eg
line1
line2
line3
line4
line5

2) select “ine” in “line3” – press backspace – “ine” vanishes as expected
2a) restore “line3”

3) select “ine” in all lines by pressing “alt” when the cursor is between ‘l’ and ‘i’ in “line5”, drag with mouse between ‘e’ and ‘1’ – press backspace – on every line in selection the ‘e’ disappears (not the whole selection as I would expect)
3a) restore text (ctrl-y)

4) select the other way around (from in between ‘e’ and ‘1’ to ‘l’ and ‘i’ – press backspace – nothing happens

Do the same in, say, Notepad++ or Visual Studio. I would expect the same behaviour in EmEditor. However, I don’t know if EmEditor behaves as designed. If so (ie, it’s not a bug) I’d like to know how I can toggle between behaviours.

btw, part 3 works identically if there’s no selection at all (but only a column cursor between ‘e’ and the numbers.

Thanks

Hi,
I get back to this topic.
Actually creating a new document is not what I really need. Interestingly, when I google for this kind of feature there are lot of requests, but apart from EditPad Pro no good answer. Maybe you want to check out how it is done there?
I think it would be a great new feature for EmEditor.
Thanks

Thank you for your reply.

My first concern here is to “view”, but I could imagine the need to edit this special view.

Let’s suppose I have a log file – not a server log, but a debug output log. This could be something like
—
Info: abc
Error: description1
Info: cba
Error: description2
Trace: aabbcc
Trace: dddd
Error: description3
—
much, much longer of course. What I would like to view is
—
Error: description1
Error: description2
Error: description3
—
i.e., hide lines that don’t start with “Error:” (or, with other words, show only such lines). Such, I would have a very good overview of errors.
I cannot delete the lines between Error lines, because context will become important later on. I would like to find certain errors or certain details in the description and “expand” the file around this special error.
Maybe I’d like to add some comment to the lines for a colleague (“probably not important for the bug to be found” a.s.o.) – which is where the “edit” comes into play.

Do you think this use case it too uncommon? I, at least, could imagine similar requirements for csv files.

Maybe you could see it like a special kind of folding – fold everything between errors. In the meantime I remembered VIM, which has a folding by expression mode. Of course this is a bit complicated. It probably could be simplified for certain cases.

Hello,

it works – thanks so much!

Hallo,

No – I haven’t tried (and will not do so) to install the x86 version…

Actually this should read: I will not try to install both version in parallel (for instance to test DLL interoperability).

I know that I can install the 32bit version on x64 – but if possible, I’d use the native x64 version. So this

However, I will build the 64-bit version German edition as well.

is good news. Thanks!

Hi –
as I’ve discovered yesterday some days ago the german version had been released. Thanks for that!

However, unfortunately there seems to be only an x86 version. So please – could there be an x64 version too?

I suppose the language files are integrated into some resource dlls (C:Program FilesEmEditormui), so I think it will not be possible to exchange dlls between systems.

No – I haven’t tried (and will not do so) to install the x86 version…

Hi MariaK –

thanks for the information and good luck with the translation!

Hi,

I know there are vibrant ink themes for a couple of editors ranging from Visual Studio to Notepad++. Unfortunately I haven’t found one for our beloved editor.
It’s a pity I’m not able to do it myself :-(

[ujr]

Ah – yes! Thanks!
I’ve assigned ESC to “Close All” which does what I want. Great!

Nevertheless I would have expected a command “Exit All” or “Exit”, just like it appears on the file menu (I hope I haven’t overlooked it – I *did* double check). It’s probably not so important – but is there a difference between “Close All” and “Exit All”?

I noticed another unexpected behaviour when being used to notepad or alike.
If you want to select a whole single line, either by clicking three times on it or clicking on the left hand side of the line, the cursor is positioned on the next line. Notepad puts the cursor at the end of the selected line.
So please change this behaviour too if you’ll add a “notepad compatibility mode”.
Thanks

Hi,

So exactly how do you want to see EmEditor display the message box? Do you want to see all “file1.txt”, “file2.txt” and “file2.txt” are changed, but you want the prompt to ask the active document “file2.txt” to reload?

Well, I have rethought the proposal. It would become too complicated to do it like I suggested first. Let’s make it better: Why not simply check the next file immediately when changing tabs?

[ujr]

Wouldn’t it be better to use the NTFS file change notification (if the file is located on an NTFS volume, of course) anyway?
