A more intuitive way to save/change a layout (seen in other apps) is like this:

Adjust the UI first: window size + position (or full-screen); menu/bar visibility + position; … (I think Ruler / Line Number / Outline Guide / … can be also included to save.)
Then use “Save Layout…” command, to save the current layout with a new name, or to replace a saved one.

(▲ And I think workspace saving can be also like this.)

This way, personally I think the “Options” list in [Customize: Layouts] can be simplified, and the “Save Current Window Position” button is not needed.

▲ All the occurrences of “Window” in the Description in these pages should be “document” (or “tab”).

“Switch to Last Used *Window* for Next *Window* check box …”
▲ “Window” should be “document”.

Please consider implementing Layouts feature instead of the single Focus Mode:
▲ One can save several layouts: fullscreen, non-fullscreen, more toolbars, less toolbars, …
▲ Even save window size and position for each layout.

This thread reminds me of some other suggestions:

The 6th (and other ones).

Um… I can’t recall how I added those shortcuts for the snippet items…
Now I see: It warns only when I changed the shortcut and confirm the dialog.

However, issue 3:
The warning can be bypassed:
Open the Properties of a snippet.
Add a shortcut that conflicts (e.g. Ctrl+N).
Then enable “Use Default Shortcut”.
Confirm and reopen the dialog.
Disable “Use Default Shortcut”.
Confirm the dialog.
** It doesn’t warn.

However again, issue 4:
** Clicking “Edit” button in the dialog always triggers the warning if the shortcut conflicts.
I don’t think it’s necessary.

Unable to load Snippets plug-in on Win 7.
The error message is:

EmEditor.exe – Ordinal Not Found
The ordinal could not be located in the dynamic link library Cabinet.dll.

Sorry for the delay…

I confused the things in the above post.
I mean “each snippet item properties shortcut”.

Currently, a shortcut key assigned to a core command can be assigned to a snippet item without warning.

And there are other issues. Try these steps:
Assign a shortcut key to a core command.
Assign the same key to 2 (or more) snippet items.
Press the key. It shows the snippet items in a menu.
Press Esc key to cancel the menu.
** Issue 1: There’s a sound.
(There’s no sound if the key is not assigned to a core command.)

Now go on:
Suppose the key mentioned above is Ctrl+;.
Assign Alt+; to another core command (X).
Press Ctrl+; to show the snippet items in a menu.
Press Alt key to cancel the menu.
** Issue 2: The core command (X) is triggered (by Alt+;).

In Arguments, just add quotation marks around the url.

Or, if you want to open the url with your default browser, just put the url in Command instead. (Don’t add quotation marks.)

@Yutaka
Some editor highlights the current pair even when the cursor is not touching the pair.
How about adding such an option?

[LTT]

Some of the issues here are not fixed yet:
emeditor.com/forums/reply/27337/
emeditor.com/forums/reply/27338/

Please at least fix #27337.
In the example I only mentioned 2 files. But suppose there are more files…

After further tests:
Yes, EmEditor can show “Num 0~9” in a shortcut key.
** But it shows “Num .+-*/” as “.+-*/”.
e.g.:
When you add “Alt+Num /”, it shows “Alt+/”.

I usually search via the Find toolbar, and never hide it (unless I want to synchronize the search between windows).

And because EmEditor has no quick way to reset the search options, I have to use a macro, which searches for the current selection using my default search settings (i.e. resets the search options and does a new search with one step).
I use this macro very frequently and for years. But (with the Find toolbar visible) I didn’t notice that it (eeFindSaveHistory) would synchronize the search between windows, until these days.
So I guess if this is a regression introduced by the new changes of the macro functionality.

If it’s not the case, maybe the exact topic should be:
“Find Previous/Next” command should always follow the search in the current window.

Default settings.
In window 1: Search for “a” in Find toolbar.
In window 2: Search for “b” in Find dialog.
In window 1: Use “Find Previous/Next” command. (Not the buttons in Find toolbar !)
In window 1:
** It searches for “b”, while Find toolbar still shows “a”.

What “Find Previous/Next” command searches for is different from what the Find toolbar shows. This could be misleading.

So, in my case, is it possible to make “Find Previous/Next” command always follow the Find toolbar?

To reproduce the issue 2, can you please write a sample macro, and let me know when and how you quit the macro?

20.7.0
Keep the mouse cursor within the view.
Run the macro: alert(“”);
Close the dialog. But don’t move the mouse.
** The “Busy” cursor could last 1 to 4.5 seconds.
Once you move the mouse, it ends.

You can use this file (counter.ani) as the “Busy” cursor to see how long it lasts easily:
upload.ee/files/13137488/counter.ani.html

It seems to occur when the macro quits via any dialog box (alert/confirm/prompt/error) or menu.
It also occurs after the macro changed the wrap mode and quits. So maybe it’s a display issue?

[LTT]

2:
The mouse cursor in the view could be “Busy” after the running macro is quit ( ? especially if the macro popped up a menu).

[LTT]

1:
Default settings.
Use a configuration that highlights words using Highlight(1). Now the view should be colorful.
Wrap by Window.
** The wrapped lines can not be redrawn well, e.g. minimap/WordComplete covering leaves blanks in the wrapped lines.

[LTT]

In case you didn’t notice the last issue.

[LTT]

Issue 1 is not fixed yet.
I rewrite it:

Search with “untitled” (for Options) in KeyboardMap/QuickLaunch.
There are 2 items:

Properties for Current Configuration	New File Details	Add a Sequential Number to Untitled Document Name
Properties for Current Configuration	Save Details	Automatically Name Untitled Document

But in Configuration Properties window:
Ctrl+F.
Type “untitled”.
** No result.

[LTT]

Issue 1 is not fixed yet.

And please consider suggestion 1, 2, (and 3 if possible to implement).

Thank you.

Macro function is broken in many ways:

Default settings (for all the tests).

1:
** Unable to popup a menu, e.g.:

menu = CreatePopupMenu();
menu.Add( "?", 1 );
result = menu.Track();

2:
** If “Redraw = false” is run, I have to run “Redraw = true” to revert the view.
You can test with this macro:

if( confirm( "Redraw = false ?" ) ) {
	Redraw = false;
}
if( confirm( "Redraw = true ?" ) ) {
	Redraw = true;
}

3:
Open “Run with Temporary Options…” dialog.
Cancel it.
** It seems something is running and will never end:
See the mouse cursor in the view: It’s “Busy”.
See the “Macros” menu: Almost all the items are disabled. And “Stop” command can not stop this.

[LTT]

Please test and fix this issue (3) first:

Default settings.
Enable “Save Cursor Position”.
Open file A, which is never opened in EmEditor.
Change cursor position.
Close A.
Reopen A.
** It doesn’t save the cursor position, till “Save Bookmarks” is once enabled.
** This issue will happen on another never-opened file after “Save Bookmarks” is disabled.

I will test issue 2 if issue 3 is fixed.

[LTT]

3:
Search with “uri” (for Options) in KeyboardMap/QuickLaunch.
** There are 2 wrong items:

Properties for Current Configuration:	Link:	IPv4 addresses	
Properties for Current Configuration:	Link:	IPv6 addresses	

Should be:

URIs and Mail Addresses Can Include Full-Width Unicode Characters
URIs and Mail Addresses Can Include Half-Width Unicode Characters

[LTT]

Thanks for the great enhancement!

[LTT]

Issue 1 is fixed.
Issue 2 is not fixed at all.

[LTT]

Sorry.

Add 2 or more carets using Ctrl+click.

[LTT]

upload.ee/image/12944206/EmEditor_SetActivePoint.png

Set 2 points (as shown in the upper image).

Run the macro:
for(ii = 1; ii <= document.selection.Count; ii++){
xPos = document.selection.GetActivePointX(eePosLogical, ii) + 1;
yPos = document.selection.GetActivePointY(eePosLogical, ii) + 1;
document.selection.SetActivePoint(eePosLogical, xPos, yPos, true, 1);
}

What I expect is shown in the lower image. (This can be achieved by manually dragging the border of each point/selection.)

** But the result in EmEditor is not correct, and error occurs.
