Could someone please explain me the difference between:
Configuration -> General -> Tab/Indent ->
Tab columns and Indent Columns

F.e. if I set Indent Columns to 2 (Tab Columns is 8) then Increase Line Indent always inserts a tab (8 characters) and not 2 characters.
(What I want to do ist to increase/decrease the line indent by only 2 characters without inserting tabs.)

Thanks
Criss

I am not sure exactly what you want to do. Tab is related to the TAB key on the keyboard, and Indent is usually related to automatic displacement of the cursor when Auto Indent is enabled.

This regular expression

does not work in outline plugin – whereas in highlighting it works fine. What I want to do is to display only the text after “_______ ” in the Outline.
Is this a bug?

Thanks
Criss

In this Outline plug-in, the regular expression is only used to match strings, and not for changing the text to display in the Outline tree. The source code is available for this plug-in, and you or someone can modify the code to fit your needs.

Something like BoxEditor from Shao Hao could be built into EmEditor.
This Plugin is very useful and intuitive.
Unfortunately BoxEditor only works with the mouse and not with the keyboard.
Compare with the Power Columns of Boxer Texteditor.

Thanks

You can press CTRL + SHIFT + F8 to swtich to box mode. Also, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to any plug-ins.

I believe that this bug still exists, but may be a Outline plugin issue. When you are editing a cmd file with the Outline plugin running and there is a line with a long line that wraps like this:
echo =========================================================================

If you up arrow from below the line, the cursor will stop at the first “=” character and not let you move the cursor above the line.

This should be fixed on 7.00.1 RCx. Which version of EmEditor are you using?

I need file group/project functionality in EmEditor where I open files from many different locations and save and open them as a group/project.

The closest thing I can find is your save and restore workspace options. The problem with that is if you set EmEditor to be the default application to open .txt files and close EmEditor and from Explorer you double click a txt file it will load the file into EmEditor as expected. When you close, then reopen EmEditor it remembers the last workspace where the single file was last opened, therefore I must completely create a new workspace.

Also have an open default file, folder, or group when loading EmEditor, whereby it would open a single file if a file was listed, all files in a folder if a folder is listed, or a group of files if the filegroup was listed.

EditPadPro has this project functionality that I do miss, so please add it here…

Have you tried the Projects plug-in?

Version: 7.00 final to 7.00.1 RC6

In HTML Tags or Comments the cannot Highlight Matching Brackets

Example (HTML file):

<!–
[ something ]
( something )
–>

// ( something )

Example (JS file):
// [ something ]

Example (VBS file):
‘ [ something ]

This is not a bug. Matching bracket does not work in comments any more due to users’ request.

close button ‘right side of window’
how to reproduce, see above

============

note that same problem occurs in RC6
and also if I select close button on active tab :

if focus is on open documents and I click the x on the active tab, then the open documents windows is closed and not the active tab.

Marcel

I understand what you mean. It will be fixed on RC7. Thanks!

Hello,

I think that this is not logical for the ‘x’. because the open documents plugin has it’s window with it’s own ‘x’

now, if the focus is on the open documents list, then clicking the ‘x’ on the open documents window and the ‘x’ next to the tabs has the same effect.

I think the ‘x’ next to the tabs should only close the current tab (regardless of the focus) ?

I never had this problem in version 6 ?

Marcel

I need to clarify your issue. What is your selection for the “Close Button” drop-down list in the Tab Mouse Options dialog box (Customize > Tab > Mouse Options)? Please let me know exactly what your issue is, and how to reproduce your issue. You can also send me your screenshots at [email protected] .

“Automatically clear search and file history on exit” option on emeditor 7 pro.?

thank you.

For search history, you can use the following macro, and assign this to run at the event of “Group Window Closed”. Unfortunately, file history cannot be cleared unless you check “Do no share process between documents” in the Advanced tab of Customize dialog box. If this is the case, you can uncomment the four lines in the code so all the file list will be also erased.

	WshShell = new ActiveXObject( "WScript.Shell" );

	//try { WshShell.RegDelete( "HKCUSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3Recent File List" ); } catch( e ){}

	//try { WshShell.RegDelete( "HKCUSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3Recent Folder List" ); } catch( e ){}

	//try { WshShell.RegDelete( "HKCUSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3Recent Font List" ); } catch( e ){}

	//try { WshShell.RegDelete( "HKCUSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3Recent Insert List" ); } catch( e ){}

	try { WshShell.RegDelete( "HKCUSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3CommonFind" ); } catch( e ){}

	try { WshShell.RegDelete( "HKCUSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3CommonFindFlag" ); } catch( e ){}

	

[Yutaka Emura]

Thanks for explanation. This is a specification. You will need to set focus in text view before you press Ctrl+F4 to close the current document.

Even you open an UTF8 file which contains special char, when you click save it will not work, fortunately the save as still can work.

Definately this is not we expect.

You should select “Configured Encoding” in the Encoding drop-down list of Save Details dialog box. — which is the default settings.

For what I have seen there is a way to change the color of the blinking cursor that shows your current position. I have been trying to find the correct category in the “Display” tab but none of the categories seem to have the desired effect. Does anyone know what category corresponds to the blinking cursor?

Unfortunately, there is no way to change the color of the linking cursor only. The cursor color is an inverted color of the background. You might want to change the color of the current line, or display horizontal/vertical lines.

Very often I need to ensure that a string does not exceed a particular length.

To this end it would be very helpful if EmEditor would display current selection length in the status bar, next to the cursor position field. I hoped this option would already be available in Customize -> Status, but it isn’t. Could this be added, please?

Use the following macro:

SelLength.jsee:

	status = "Selection: " + document.selection.Text.length + " characters.";

	

and run this macro when you want to find the selection length. Or, even better, set this macro run at the event of selection changed. To do this, select Customize on the Macros menu, in the My Macros tab, select this macro (SelLength.jsee) in the list, check Runs at Events, click Events button, and check Selection Changed.

Use the following macro, and you can add this macro to anywhere in the toolbars.

SaveAs.jsee:

	#title = ""

	#tooltip = "Save As"

	editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4100);

I suggest add the following menu commands:

Also I suggest add an option to enable virtual space for column select. I requre this to keep alignment of columns (when not every line of the same length). Changing the option to allow this, and then changing back everytime is inconvenient.

Use following macros, and you can add these macros to anywhere in the menu.

TogleVirtualSpace.jsee:

	cfg = document.Config;

	cfg.General.VirtualSpace = !cfg.General.VirtualSpace;

	cfg.Save();

	

ToggleRuler.jsee:

I cannot reproduce your problem of Method 1 in Replace dialog. What macro do you use? Please let me know which version of EmEditor and OS you are using. Please email me a sample file and a sample macro so that I can reproduce your problem. Please make your sample macro small enough to use as a test case. Thanks! [email protected]

Both works well under Find/Replace dialog .

Delete a character before “n” and generate a strange character :

Thanks for your prog and efforts!
the only problem I have is opening multiple files
from the command line using wildcards, like in this thread

I need to apply macro for multiple .htm files.
my command line is:
“D:EmEditorEmEditor.exe” /mf “C:CORcor.jsee” “C:COR*.htm”

it’s very frustrating to get every time “invalid path” reply.
command line options don’t work:(((

p.s. one file is opened well, but I have 5K files to process.

Please, make wildcards work :-)

I might consider that in future. However, if you have many files to open, I would recommend you to use a macro instead of command line. I believe macros can do very well in your case.

Furthermore the outline plugin should be improved regarding this:
– you should be able to collapse text without displaying the outline as guide
– the status of collapse should be saved with workspace

Thanks

I cannot reproduce your flickering problem. What OS do you use? Does the problem still exist if you disable “outline as guide”? Any particular files? If you have a sample text file that can reproduce the problem, please email me at [email protected]

Is there a way to manually clear the list of recently opened documents in the File menu? Could this be incorporated into the Properties for All Configurations so that the user can specify how many recently opened files (zero or more) EmEditor should remember? I understand this is a common feature in other text editors.

Yes. Tools menu, Customize, History tab, and Clear History button.

Not in EmEditor core. In the Explorer plug-in, you can select Properties from the context menu.

Hi, current word delimiters when double-clicking are not customizable. I will take this one of feature enhancement in future versions. And you are right, you cannot tile or cascade within one group. You will have to create a new group to do this. An easiest way is to select “New Horizontal Gruop” or “New Vertical Group” command in the Window menu or in the tab menu. There used to be a synchronized scrolling plug-in created by a user, but I am not sure if it still works. I might create a new plug-in for this purpose, or add this feature in future versions. Thanks!

Thank you for your prompt reply Yutaka. I’ll hope the customizable word delimiters is something that will be included in the close future. I’ll see if i find the synchronized scrolling plug-in, but it’s not something i use a lot so not a big problem.

I also got one other question. It seems like it’s not possible to add the “Save as” button to the toolbar. Is this correct or is it only me that cannot find out how to do this? I use the trial of version 7.00.

Thanks in advance
gan

There is no standard icon for Save As. Intead use the following macro (JavaScript), and place this macro button to anywhere you would like. “icon file name” should be the full path and name of any files including icon resource you would like to display.

saveas.jsee

	#icon = "icon file name"

	#title = ""

	#tooltip = "Save As"

	editor.ExecuteCommandByID(4100);
