See the image.
Ctrl+click 22222, 55555, and 88888 in the same line (wrapped).
** See the frame issue. As if they were one selection.Your way doesn’t work for me.
If the lines are all empty, I have to:
Make a vertical selection.
Type any character instead of Tab.
Undo.
Type Tab.If the lines are not all empty, I have to:
Make a vertical selection.
Type any character instead of Tab.
Type Tab.
Type Backspace (to delete the character).(The way mentioned in A works for either case.)

E:
Ctrl+click to make 2 or more points in the same line.
Use “Increase Line Indent” command.
** The selection positions from the 2nd one are not correct.—————
About Issue 1:
I still suggest that it would be better if Tab/Shift+Tab could differ from the “Increase/Decrease Line Indent” commands.Before the change you made for issue 1, one can do this:
Select lines partially.
Type Tab (and Ctrl+Z).
Now the lines are selected entirely.This is a quick way to select lines, especially when the lines are long and/or wrapped, and/or one is not willing to operate on the left edge, etc.
The difference extends the use.If Suggestion 1 will not be considered as a solution, an option for this would be welcome.
Thank you.I thought it twice.
This can be a new feature.
I suggest adding a new flag: eeMenuShowKey.
So if one is really using a command in a macro menu, he can control whether the key should be shown.To select multiple contiguous columns, just drag in the column header (above the ruler), e.g. form 2 to 5, as same as in Excel.
Shift+clicking also can be used in the column header.
However, @Yutaka, there’s a bug:
Click 2 in the column header.
Shift+click 5.
** Only column 2+3+4 are selected.
(Though Shift+dragging is OK.)D:
Wrap by Window.
Enable “Wrap Indent”.
Add a long line so it wraps.
Indent the line.
** Its wrapped lines don’t show the indent gaps.
** While cursor position(s) in its wrapped lines obey “Wrap Indent”.EmEditor saves shortcut keys per configuration.
So is it because that, you changed the keys in configuration A, but now you are using configuration B?
If you want to use only one set of keys, mind that the “All Configurations” option is checked in “Keyboard Map” window when you change keys.If this does not resolve your issue, please describe an example step by step. Maybe I can help you further.
One of my “Active String” settings:
String Enclosed by Double Quotation Marks: Right Clicked = Run Macro.The macro pops up a menu.
The stuck issue also occurs on this menu.The C above is not correct. Please ignore it.

Suggestion 1:
In some editors (e.g. UltraEdit, Notepad3), an auto-indent is added in 2 steps (the newline character, then the indent). Thus it can be undone in 2 steps.
So when I add a new line but don’t want to indent it, I just press Enter key and then Ctrl+Z.
This is really convenient, since an indent is often not just a single character.—————
Suggestion 2:
Select some indented lines.
Use “Select Ending of Lines” command.
Press Enter key.
How about indenting all the new lines (but in the manner mentioned in Suggestion 1)?—————
BTW,
“Indent Column” in “All Commands” menu needs an “s”.A:
Enable “Keep selections while typing in multiple selections”.Text:
xx oo
oo xxSelect all “xx” (or “oo”, to see different result).
(Press Esc once, to see different result.)
Press Enter (or use “Insert CR/LF/CR+LF” command) 2+ times.
** Extra spaces appear in the selections.
** And note the difference (in length of selection) when using “Insert CR+LF” command.BTW,
You use “CR+LF” in other places. So how about also changing the “Insert CR and LF” command name?—————
B:
Make multiple selections.
Type a letter.
Undo. (The multiple selections persist.)
Switch to another wrap mode.
** The multiple selections are canceled.
(Redo doesn’t has the issue.)—————
C:
Make 2 selections in the same line.
Use Shift+Left/Right to extend the selections.
** The 1st selection will collapse once either cursor goes into the other selection.
In UltraEdit, they merge as one. But I don’t see why/when we should use it this way.
I think an “ideal” fix (if possible) could be: Prevent the cursor from moving any further once it touches the neighbor selection, in order to keep the existing selections individual, in case one still wants to change them (e.g. move the cursors back).—————
D:
In UltraEdit, Ctrl+Click can remove a 0-width point when in multiple-selection/point mode.
** In EmEditor, I have to extend it before removing it. (Though “Deselect Top/Bottom Selection from Multiple Selections” command doesn’t has the issue.)—————
+ Suggestion 3:
In UltraEdit, Left/Right key also can be used to move the multiple cursors among the lines. (Shift+←↑↓→ to extend multiple selections)
Actually, in UltraEdit, every cursor in multiple-cursor mode behaves unconfinedly and naturally, just as the single cursor.—————
Issue 5:+
Select All Occurrences.
Press Home (or End).
Pressing Backspace (or Del) key does nothing, but is added into the Undo history.1:
Go on with the last example above:
Do the steps and Undo once.
** The result is not correct.
It should undo the “()” only.Another example:
Select “123” and run this snippet: ${0:${SelText}}$0
(Now it should be “123123” with the left half selected.)
Press Left or Right key.
Type “xxx”.
Undo.
** An “x” remained.—————
2:
Should be able to quit the snippet inputting mode by pressing Esc key.—————
3:
Select “xxx” and run this snippet: ${1:?}${2:${SelText}}$1$0
By pressing Enter key I wanted to insert a new line before and after “xxx” but failed.
Is it possible to make it support new lines in such cases?A:
Need a simple way to insert tabs in empty lines.
(But I think it’s not proper to make “Increase/Decrease Line Indent” commands differ from Tab/Shift+Tab in this case.)Currently I have to use these steps:
Select the lines.
Use “Select Beginning of Lines” command.
Type a character.
Undo.
Type Tab key.—————
B:
Select a non-empty line and an empty (non-EOF) line below it.
Indent the selection.
Undo.
** The undone result is not correct.—————
C:
Since the 4 commands below also handle multiple selections, I think “Line” in their names is not proper/necessary:
Increase Line Indent
Decrease Line Indent
Tab or Increase Line Indent
Tab Left or Decrease Line IndentNew issue:
See the image:
Non-TSV (e.g. CSV) mode.
There are 10 tabs in line 1.
** But only 4 arrows can be seen.
** And they are different in width.> Suggestion 3.
It occurs to me that a Pin button for the Start window would be enough for this case.New issue:
When Start window is opened (automatically or manually) in an empty tab, the text cursor will disappear, even when Start window is closed.Suggestion 2:
Hope one can open workspace(s) without closing the current windows:
Add such a checkbox option in Start window, and in Customize:Workspace.—————
Suggestion 3:
Hope one can open multiple files/workspaces at a time:
Double-click to open an item.
Single-click to select an item. (Select more with Ctrl and/or Shift.)
Enter (or a button) to open the selected one(s).Or by using checkboxes:
Click the link to open the item.
Click the checkbox to select.Great. Thank you.
And after a while of adaption and chewing, I realize that the new behavior in EmEditor is even better than in EditPad:
Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right extends to each word left/right. (EmEditor = EditPad)
This solves the issue of including/excluding space(s), e.g. makes it more friendly in Space(s)-SV editing.Difference:
EmEditor: Ctrl+Left/Right goes to each word left/Right.
EditPad: Ctrl+Left/Right goes to each word left. ( = The old behavior in EmEditor. Though by using Ctrl+Right we usually want to go to the next word Left, we lack a nimble way to go to the word Right.)Hope more users will give it a try and enjoy the new behavior.
Not really.
For example,
Duplicate a snippet by Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.
Then change the content of either one.
I’d rather keep their names identical for some reasons.
I know it’s not a good habit, but since the plug-in allows same names…I wonder if there’s a way in a macro to handle the same-named ones (by order or something).
Suggestion 3:
I once used a macro to set/reset “FindFlag” value rapidly (by using GetProfileInt/WriteProfileInt methods).
But “FindFlag” is not a Dword any longer.
Will you add a new method to operate such a double-Dword binary value (Qword)?Considerate improvement.
Thank you for the detailed reply.Maybe “Notes” are needed in pages like this:
emeditor_en.chm::/macro/editor/editor_executeplugin.htmBut I have to rename the same-named snippets for macro cases? Though Snippets plug-in allows the use.
> Reverted the default behavior of the Word Right/Left (Extend) commands to the old behavior.
I need and prefer the new behavior of Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right.
But need and prefer the old behavior of Ctrl+Left/Right.Please read my post above and consider it again.
Please add an option(s) if possible. Thank you.
