    You will need to create a file and save your information, or create a registry key and set values with your information.

    As we know, the “$#” mean the last element of a list in Perl.
    But EE’s Syntax highlight will be error to display the “$#data” — “#data” will be treated as a comment.

    EmEditor’s syntax highlighting is designed to be generic, so this inconvenience can happen. You might want to remove # from the comment string in the Highlight (2) tab of configuration properties.

    I started looking at the emeditor API to create a plugin where i can customize the word delimiters since this cannot be done in emeditor at the moment. I couldn’t find any event to capture the doubleclick though. Am i missing something or is there no way to create such a plugin? Since i work with textfiles that contains a lot of IP addresses i find it a bit annoying that i cannot doubleclick a IP address to select the whole address. This is a feature i really miss after switching to emeditor.

    I don’t believe there was an event for double-clicking. You can create a macro or a plug-in to select an IP address, and you can assign a shortcut key to run that macro/plug-in (not double-click).

    If not, can you consider adding this ability, or have a separate option to display the number of bytes and lines in a selection on the status bar.

    How many seconds do you have to wait until the status bar is updated with the correct number of bytes? It should be within a few seconds. If not, there might be something wrong with EmEditor.

    I want EmEditor to use [W]+ and except[-_&+] as delimiters. And there is no boundary between unicode chars and digits/alphabet.

    There is no way to set word delimiters at current version. I might consider that in future versions. Thanks!

    Hi! I do a great deal of text editing using HTML; in fact I hardly ever use a dedicated word processor. The HTML menu bar in EmEditor is a great help in composing text/html documents. However, I would like to be able to add some additional HTML elements. In particular, I would like to add a list element (

  • ), blockquote, pre, and several others.

    Is the existing HTML menu able to be extended. If yes, then how is it done. If no, then can this be looked at for a future version.

    I know I could use text snippets for some of these required elements but it would be more convenient to have them available from the HTML menu bar and EmEditor text snippets are a bit limited compared to other similar text editors (EditPlus and TextPad are two I’ve used).

    Any help will be gratefully received.

    Regards,
    Peter :-?

  • HTMLBar plug-in source code is available at http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=6&lid=221 so you can customize the plug-in as whatever you would like. You can also do a lot of these features by using macros.

    Maybe users can create subdirectories in the plugin directory and put some plugins in it, And EmEditor can automatically show the submenu items with the same names of those subdirectories in the plugin menu? I mean, if user create a subdirectory named “spelling“, Emeditor then can show a submenu “spelling” under the plugin menu, and the plugins in the directory of “spelling” can also be shown in this submenu.

    Is it OK?

    It is not possible at the current version. I will take it as an enhancement suggestion.

    If I do a columnar selection to select a few lines (including the first character on the first line) and the selection ends with the mouse cursor past the end of the last line, the selection on lines which are longer than the last line extends to where the mouse cursor was. However, when the EmEditor window is resized the selection
    is redrawn so that the right-hand side is reduced to the extent of the last column of the last line.

    It is specification that the columnar seleciton will be resized when the EmEditor window is resized and the wrap mode is by window size. If this is not a good answer, I might misunderstand your point. In this case, please be more specific, or email me a screenshot. Thanks!

    I set the delay time to 0.0 seconds, and there is still a delay before the status bar is updated. Is this a bug ?

    I would also like it to show the number of lines in the selection. Is this possible ?

    BTW, the documentation does not mention about the length property. Where can I find an up-to-date reference for all objects and properties ?

    The status bar is updated when EmEditor becomes idle, so it is not a bug. You can certainly include the number of lines in the selection. I will write the code if you would like me to. length property is not a property of EmEditor objects, rather it is a property of string object in JavaScript. JavaScript is a popular script language, and so you can find the reference in Web sites or in many books. Search for “JavaScript string length” in Google.

    I agree with that breakdown/description of the issues with the exception of the fact that, unlike Criss, I still see “Flickering of text when outline guide is enabled” in 7.00.2 RC 1.

    I know there is a bit of flickering in text, and also in OutlineText tree, but those are not critical problems for most users. I will soon release a minor update, but I will not fix this issue.

    I would like to see Snippets allow for blocks of code that can be inserted into any document.

    It should allow for highlighted text to be dragged and dropped into the Snippets add-in and then a name can be assigned to it.

    Now, if you really want to get fancy :-D , I could also use the capability to autofill text contained within the snippet using tags. When the snippet is inserted it scans the text for tags (i.e. {#xxxx#} or something) and then brings up a dialog with all of the tags that need to be filled in.

    Once you specify the values for the tags, then it finishes the insert replacing all tags with the values you specified.

    If all you can provide is a better mechanism for adding and updating multiple line snippets (drag and drop from selected text) that would be a start.

    I agree, but I didn’t make the perfect plug-in. The source code is availalbe at http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=6&lid=125 I left some space for developers to develop the plug-in further.

    Anyone have a fix or any kind of suggestions on this issue?
    TYVM,

    -ps this is a registered product I purchased
    -pps using Vista 32 bit Home Premium

    This is because Windows Vista cannot modify dictionary files in Program Files subfolders when the User Account Control in Vista is enabled. You will need to install this plug-in to non-Program Files folder to avoid this error. I will fix this issue in future versions of the Spelling plug-ins. Thanks!

    I will have to explore what EmEditor can do then. Sorry if my question about the configurations was not clear. I mean that when I create a new file in C++ or HTML, there is already header code and I wanted to know if there was a way to remove that and just start out with a blank file. Just a suggestion, but it would be nice if the required and optional parameters were shown when using the word complete plugin.

    In C++ Properties and HTML Properties, select File tab, click “New Files”, and uncheck “Use Template”.

    Hi,

    I am currently evaluating EmEditor Professional 7.0.0.1 and wish to know if any of the following are possible within this great editor:

    Is there a way to set up a shortcut to reference the PHP manual? For instance, I click on one of the functions in my code and the manual jumps to the corresponding page.

    Can I use an external program or command to run PHP? I want to be able to view the code and any errors in an output window and also have the option to take you right to the line where the error has occurred.

    How do you remove the code that is inserted with the different configurations such as C++?

    I will primarily be using the editor to code in C++ and PHP.

    Thanks.

    You can do almost anything with EmEditor. See http://www.emeditor.com/modules/xoopsfaq/index.php?cat_id=8#q68 for examples. You might need a little tweaking though. For instance, you might want to check “Use Output Bar” to redirect standard output to the Output Bar. If compiler errors are dsplayed in the Output bar, you can only double-click on the line to jump to the source code.

    I don’t know what you mean by “How do you remove the code that is inserted with the different configurations such as C++?”.

    I tried with a Standard User, and there was no problem. When you click “Associate with EmEditor” button on the File tab of Customize dialog box, you will be asked to enter the Administrator’s password. Have you been asked for this password when you click this button?

    Hi

    I am a new user of EmEditor. I imported the TCL syntax library into EmEditor. However, it does not reserve the indent of each line.

    For example, when I press Tab to indent one line. The next line it goes to the beginning of the line instead of align it with the line above.

    Please help. Thanks.

    On Configuration properties, select General tab, click Tab/Indent button, and check Enable Auto Indent.
