enhancements on the numbering feature
Hi Dear Yutaka,
I would like the main window of emeditor to be controllable when the numbering dialog popped up, just like how the find & replace dialog functions.
Also, I think the numbers inserted is better to be placed under a same column, rather than create newlines for each number inserted. so I can create:
list[1]
list[2]
list[3]
...

with 2 steps: vertical mode and the number feature.

Re: enhancements on the numbering feature
Hello zhouzh2,

Thanks for you inputs! I might consider making the Numbering dialog modeless in future versions.

As for the column, you can first make a vertical selection before selecting the Numbering as you might already know. I might think about that, but this has to be an option if I change this behavior.

Thank you for using EmEditor!

Hi Yutaka,

Though I can't find an option why you should change it ...its just that other editors' numbering feature behaves like that----numbers inserted is always under a same column. I personally prefer that...our current method is strange (I think), after all why would a user wants to create a huge number of newlines with only sequence numbers in each line?

Re: enhancements on the numbering feature

 
Thank you very much for feedback.


To not disturb you that much
I will not answer on all status messages of you
if I have nothing more to say than Thank You.

Only if I think I should mention new ventilations,
for you to consider them beforehand the implementing is done.


I hope that is fine with you.

EmEditor Professional v13 beta (12.9.0) released!

"Skip Empty Lines" and
"Restart Numbering after Empty Lines" check boxes
were added to the "Insert Numbering" dialog box




Work as wanted, thanks.


For them who don't know how to use:
- do an zero-width selection in front or at the end (or even in the middle)
of the lines you want to add numbers on.
(e.g.: hold Alt-key, press left mouse-key and draw a tiny line down)

- press At+N to open the "Insert Numbering" dialog box,
made your settings and click at OK, the numbers are inserted.

Extra tip: you can even enter leading zeros
into the 'First Line' field >>> [ 001 ]



You may want to add additional signs like '.) ' after the numbers?
Then just do that after the insertion,
but while still in selection mode. Just type it!

Or do an another zero-width selection and add the signs at an second step.
(you will have to remove this additional signs from
the beforehand empty lines in between, if any, though)
