Yes, in beta 5 both issues are fixed.
If you disable the multi-selection, you can still use the CTRL to select a word.
I don’t think it’s a good idea that each time when I need to select a couple of words I should open the configuration dialog, untick the checkbox, then select the phrase, then open the dialog again to tick the checkbox back. It’s definitely easier to manually aim at the word boundaries, just like in lousy editors which do not have this feature at all. It’s a pity that I can have either multi-selection, or word-selection, but not both of them… :-(
Maybe you could add a new command, so that it was at least possible to assign a hotkey and quickly switch between these two modes instead of going to the dialog each time?
On beta 6, CTRL + click will select a word again. CTRL + Click will also work for the second selection while the Multi-selection is enabled. For some users, this might be inconvenient, so I added the “CTRL + click to Select a Word” check box to the Mouse tab of the Customize dialog box, and allow you to disable the feature.
Thanks!

Glad to see a new version of EmEditor with some useful new features. Bit disappointed though that my suggestion for text extraction has still not made it in though, particularly given that EmEditor already has a lot of the functionality needed to implement this feature:http://www.emeditor.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1647&forum=4&post_id=5462
I am not exactly sure what you would like to see in future versions. If you want to extract searched lines, you can “bookmark” searched lines (by pressing the “Bookmark All” button in the Find dialog), and then use the “Extract Bookmarked Lines to New File” command. You can also write a macro to automate this process.
Thanks!

And I have one suggestion. With multi-selection we lost one very useful feature: selecting by words when holding Ctrl. Could you please return this feature back, maybe using different modifier, for example, Ctrl+Alt?If you disable the multi-selection, you can still use the CTRL to select a word. For customizing the mouse buttons, I will have to wait until future major versions. Thanks!

I tried to test the multiselection feature and found a couple of bugs. Steps to reproduce:
1. Click anywhere in the document.
2. While holding Ctrl, double-click on some word (different from where the first click was). Problem1: the word seems to be invisibly selected. The caret jumps to the end of the word, and when you move the mouse cursor over this word, its shape changes from the “text” into “arrow”; however, no selection background color is applied.
3. Now, while holding Ctrl, make a single mouse click at some third place, different from the first two.
4. Press any alphanumeric key. Problem2: The letter you typed does not appear anywhere, and from this moment EmEditor becomes unusable. It ignores all editing and navigation within the current document. After you switch to another document using tab header, EE starts to perform all editing actions, but the window contents is not redrawn: it constantly displays unchanged contents of the first document, no matter what you do.I hope this issue was fixed on beta 5. If not, please let me know. Thanks!

In vertical/multiple selection mode, SHIFT+ARROWSHIFT+F8 does not work, the cursor moves, but text always append to the last portion of the selection.I am not exactly sure what this means. If the issue still exists in beta 5, can you please let me know detail procedure to reproduce the issue? Thanks you!
I guess the installer compresses x64 binary better than 32-bit binary. The actual size of DLLs and EXEs are bigger in x64 than 32-bit. Thanks!
Hello,
This will be possible on v13. The new Switch Starting Point and Ending Point command (SHIFT + F8) will allow you to move the cursor position to the starting point, and move the starting positions by SHIFT + LEFT/RIGHT keys.
Thanks!
Hello,
Unfortunately, there are no features that allow you to customize mouse buttons. I will think about that in future versions. Thanks!
Hello Stefan,
I am sincerely sorry for my delayed responses, but I am spending much of time these days to develop a new major version of EmEditor.
Currently, this is the specification because macros can’t paste text as a box format. The only way to work around this is using the Clipboard like this:
sel = document.selection.text;
Lines = sel.split("rn");
out = "";
for(L=0,E=Lines.length; L<E; L++){
line = Lines[L];
out += line.replace("i", "X") + "rn";
}
alert(out);
clipboardData.setData("BoxText", out);
document.selection.Paste(eeCopyUnicode);
I hope this helps.
Thanks!Hello,
I see. I understand. I will think about that.
To work around this, if you use a macro or Snippet macro, you can use
editor.FullName;
to get the full path of EmEditor.exe.
Thanks!
Hello ArthurZ,
I know it is not perfect, but at least it restore the EmEditor window size. I will try to see if I can address the issue.
Thanks for your inputs!
Thanks for observation. It is possible the Projects plug-in can be something to do with the “disallowed-drop”. I will look into this issue.
Thanks!
Hello,
The only option we have is “Enable Text Drag and Drop” check box on the Mouse tab of the Customize dialog box, but this is not related to the issue you described. Plug-ins can have something to do with this issue, so can you disable plug-ins if you have installed plug-ins other than default installed plug-ins?
If you still have issue, I would restart Windows. If you still have the issue after restarting Windows, can you export all your settings to .REG files from Tools menu > Import and Export > Export all settings into a registry, and then uninstall EmEditor, make sure all files in the C:Program FilesEmEditor are deleted, restart Windows, and then install the newest version of EmEditor? Can you also please zip the reg files and email me at [email protected]? I would like to reproduce the issue here.
Thank you!
Hi Stefan,
It is not possible to wait for a particular key while running a macro. This is because macros do not run asynchronously. This is limitation of macros.
What I mean by using Snippets is using a Keyboard shortcut for each snippet.
Thanks!
Hello,
It is just the way EmEditor was designed. If you need to add a macro to a menu, you will first include the macro to My Macros, and then add the macro to the menu. Adding another command like “Select Macro from folder…” item will cause a lot to change, actually. It is hard to describe, but please understand that it will add a lot of code to the existing code base.
Thanks!
Hello Stefan,
Environment variables are not supported for the Backup folder. If this is something you desire, I will add this feature in future versions. By the way, this is not a plug-in feature, but rather an EmEditor core feature.
Thanks!
Hi Stefan,
You can organize My Macros contents from the Customize Macros dialog – My Macros tab. It should be easy enough to work around.
I need to keep all compatibilities between old and new versions, and I don’t want to make EmEditor too complicated because it will end up being too bloated.
I hope you understand.
Thanks!
Hi Stefan,
An easy way is to utilize our Snippets plug-in. Can you try using the Snippets plug-in? Lots of information can be viewed at http://www.emeditor.com/help/howto/plugin/plugin_snippets.htm
Thanks!
