In EditPad Pro, there are the following options which can be enabled or disabled individually:
[ ] Highlight matching brackets touched by the cursor
[ ] Highlight innermost pair of brackets containing the cursorI want to have the same options in EmEditor (not only the first one but also the second).
This is a matter of personal taste. I am very happy with EmEditor’s current way of highlighting the current line.
On the other hand, I agree that it is difficult in EmEditor to identify wrapped lines. Sure, you can see it by means of the missing line numbers, but that’s not a good solution.
My suggestion would be that EmEditor adds line wrap indicators to each wrapped line. You can see an example in the first screenshot here: http://iany.me/2012/02/css-line-wrap-indicator/. This solution has also another advantage: You can see for all lines whether they are wrapped or not, not just for the current line.
You can always insert a tab by means of Tools->All Commands->Edit->Insert->Tab. It should also be possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to this menu item.
Unfortunately, EmEditor still forgets the wrap mode setting when the file is removed from the workspace and then EmEditor is closed. This problem does not exist e.g. for the cursor position. So it seems that EmEditor stores the cursor position somewhere else. Would it be possible to store the wrap mode setting in the same place, so that EmEditor will remember the wrap mode setting even if the file is removed from the workspace?
Thank you very much for implementing this feature in v14.4.0 beta 1! This is really useful.
Would it be possible to consider also Meir’s suggestion (second post in this thread)? Currently, EmEditor forgets the wrap mode on exit.
Hi Yutaka,
I would be very grateful if you could fulfil this request. Your suggestion to use separate configurations does not help me unfortunately, due to the way how I use EmEditor. (I have files of the same type which need different wrap mode settings.)
Thanks and best regards,
AndreasHi Yutaka,
thank you very much for implementing this! Just one minor suggestion: Maybe it would be good to extend the text “Searched to the end/beginning of the document.” by the text “Continue search from other end of file?” This would make it clearer to the user what will happen when he presses OK.
Best regards,
AndreasThe following version of the macro does work:
#title = “Marks”
#tooltip = “Toggle Marks ON/OFF”// Displays or Hides Marks.
myobject = document.Config;
if (myobject.Mark.ShowReturns==0 && myobject.Mark.ShowEOF==0 && myobject.Mark.ShowTabs==0 && myobject.Mark.ShowSpaces==0 && myobject.Mark.ShowDBSpaces==0 && myobject.Mark.CrLfDifferent==0 && myobject.Mark.ShowIndentGuides==0 && myobject.Mark.ShowControlCharacters==0) {
myobject.Mark.ShowReturns=”true”; // Returns
myobject.Mark.ShowEOF=”true”; // End of File
myobject.Mark.ShowTabs=”true”; // Tabs
myobject.Mark.ShowSpaces=”true”; // Spaces
myobject.Mark.ShowDBSpaces=”true”; // Wide Spaces
myobject.Mark.CrLfDifferent=”true”; // CR and LF with Different Marks
myobject.Mark.ShowIndentGuides=”false”; // Indent Guides
myobject.Mark.ShowControlCharacters=”true”; // Control Characters
}
else {
myobject.Mark.ShowReturns=”false”; // Returns
myobject.Mark.ShowEOF=”false”; // End of File
myobject.Mark.ShowTabs=”false”; // Tabs
myobject.Mark.ShowSpaces=”false”; // Spaces
myobject.Mark.ShowDBSpaces=”false”; // Wide Spaces
myobject.Mark.CrLfDifferent=”false”; // CR and LF with Different Marks
myobject.Mark.ShowIndentGuides=”false”; // Indent Guides
myobject.Mark.ShowControlCharacters=”false”; // Control Characters
}myobject.Save();
Note that I changed the handling of the Indent Guides, because I never want to see them.
This is possible with a macro: https://www.emeditor.com/forums/topic/showhide-all-visualization-characters/
Doesn’t such a command already exist?
Tools -> All commands -> File -> Close -> Close without Save
How about assigning a shortcut key to that command?
Hi Yutaka,
the bug described in my posting #17722 is fixed.
However, the inconsistency (bug?) described in my posting #17712 is still present. To show the problem more clearly, I’ve made a screencast. You can watch/download it here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42104478/screencast.mp4. Please note the text color when the cursor is in line 5. Sometimes the text color is red, and sometimes it’s black.Best regards,
AndreasHmm, the behavior of the final release version v14.1.0 is different than the behavior of v14.1.0 beta 2. Now, when you set the text color of bookmarked lines to “transparent”, the background color of bookmarked lines will disappear. In my opinion, this is a bug.
By the way, your first proposal to set the background color of bookmarked lines to “transparent” did not work for me. When I tried this, the background color of bookmarked lines became white.
Oops, wait a minute. When you make the above settings, then bookmark several consecutive lines, and then move the cursor up and down from line to line, the behavior will be inconsistent (or at least I don’t understand the pattern behind it): Sometimes the text color of a particular bookmarked line will be brown, and sometimes the text color of the same bookmarked line will be black.
Here are the settings to reproduce the problem:
Current line:
Text color: custom, brown
Background color: custom, yellow
Bookmarked lines:
Text color: transparent
Background color: custom, greenI changed the text color (not the background color) of bookmarked lines to “transparent”, and then I got exactly the desired behavior. Great! Thank you very much again!
Very Good! Thank you very much!
One minor point: Suppose you have set both the backgound color of the current line and the background color of bookmarked lines to some custom colors. In this case, when the current line is also a bookmarked line, it will be difficult to see the current line, especially when there are several bookmarked lines. Which one of these bookmarked lines is the current line then? In the editor that I used before I switched to EmEditor, this problem was solved as follows: When the current line is also a bookmarked line, the text color was the text color of the current line, not the text color of bookmarked lines. Would it be possible to have the same behavior in EmEditor?
To make this point more clear, here is a concrete example:
Current line:
Text color = brown
Background color = yellow
Bookmarked lines:
Text color = black
Background color = greenBehavior of EmEditor v14.1.0 beta 1 when the current line is a bookmarked line:
Text color = black
Background color = green
Desired behavior of EmEditor when the current line is a bookmarked line:
Text color = brown
Background color = greenRecord and save a macro, then assign a shortcut key to it (All Configurations Properties -> Keyboard)
Edit: Meir, you were faster than I :-)
At the moment, Edit -> Bookmarks -> This Group -> Next Bookmark does wrap-around at the end of the document, whereas Edit -> Bookmarks -> This Document -> Next Bookmark does not wrap-around. This is inconsistent. In other editors, e.g. UltraEdit, “Next Bookmark” always wraps around, because this is more convenient for the user. EmEditor should do the same.
