Either noone, not even the author, uses this plugin…
or I’m alucinating. It fails more often than it gets something right. I don’t think I can produce a single file that makes it work right. Noone cares?No news about whether we can expect work on the outline plugin? It’s unusable in its current state. I don’t dare opening it, it makes me reconsider my choice of text editor.
Thanks Stefan,
None of these solutions work though. The problem is that you cannot believe the scroll bar to tell you how much of the file you are not seeing. This is a capital offense, IMO.Was emeditor always like that? I don’t recall this from old versions… but I never used it much.
What’s the use of this feature though? Who needs a bunch of empty space at the end of the file? Who doesn’t need a scroll bar that is informative of file length?
Once I add a configuration, it uses the default font, not the one I specified in my ‘all configurations’ font settings.
Can this process be any more unwelcoming? I really wonder…
Sorry about the harsh criticism, but this is one aspect where em is far behind. Overall an excellent editor, with features not available in Linux/OSX editors and very envy-worthy!And this is beyond archaic:
How can I install an EmEditor syntax file? 1. Choose Select Configuration under the Tools menu. 2. Click Define Configuration at the very bottom of the list. 3. Click the New button, select Use Default Configuration and click OK. 4. Enter a descriptive name and click Enter. 5. Click the Properties button and select the Highlight (1) tab. 6. Click on the Import button, locate, and open the appropriate syntax file. 7. Finally, click on OK to close the Properties dialog box and click on Close to close the Configurations dialog box. If you want to enable associated extensions and specify an extension or extensions that EmEditor should associate with the configuration, follow these additional steps: 8. Make sure the correct configuration is selected under the Tools menu. 9. Click Properties for Current Configuration under the Tools menu. 10. Select the Association tab and check the Enable Association box. 11. Click Add and enter the appropriate extension or extensions.
11 steps, requiring me to move files around (this won’t survive reinstalls or work when I export my settings)…
Nobody is doing 11 steps when in other editors it either comes by default, or it takes a click or two.
If I were the author, I’d drop everything and modernize the ‘add syntax’ feature. It’s probably the worst implementation on any editor, in any platform.
Incredible post, thanks!
However, it doesn’t get me what I want :)
Notepad++ has an entry just under ‘open’ in the right click menu. Even installing emeditor, I don’t get that. It has to go trough ‘send to’, which is polluted with lots of useless entries (‘fax’, really?). I would never use that.Any way to get it at the top of the tree, not under ‘send to’?
No, it’s not about the screen, bars, etc…
It’s about how text scroll.
The insert point (cursor) is always at the center of the screen.Using v 13.
Awesome feature. Thanks.
Would love to see the matches on the scrollbar, like chrome does.EmEditor should get more attention… it beats sublime at many things. A better community, and more plugins would be the only thing that I’d miss.
thanks MariaK, but this script doesn’t take care of the unistalling.
If one executes the .msi, the result is a popup saying that one has to uninstall first.another one:
5) pretty format (aligning).
This is a beautiful chunk of code:
vc <- vcount(graph)
if (is.null(params$niter)) { params$niter <- 500 }
if (is.null(params$maxdelta)) { params$maxdelta <- vc }
if (is.null(params$area)) { params$area <- vc^2 }
if (is.null(params$coolexp)) { params$coolexp <- 1.5 }
if (is.null(params$repulserad)){ params$repulserad <- params$area * vc }
if (is.null(params$weights)) {
vim, emacs, and slickedit can do this. It doesn’t seem terribly difficult right?
1) having some indicator of what has changed in a file would be killer. Hippoedit and notepad++ show vertical lines in the gutter. The thicker line indicates lines in the editor which have changed since the last save. The thinner ones indicate lines that have changed in the current editing session and have already been saved. IDE’s all have this. There’s no reason why editors can’t. It’d be killer in combination with a good integration with VCS (I like mercurial).
2) assign colors to tabs (buttons) per filetype or any other criteria. Done to great effect in ultraedit.
3) split windows like vim, emacs etc is a must. No coder who has tried this would do any amount of coding without it. This may be hard to implement and it requires distintion between buffers and tabs/windows (maybe).
4) Mark-based folding (example, vim does it with # {{{ code here # }}}
+1

I’ll add this to the wish list.
