EE v.9.00alpha24(x64), Vista(64)
EE leaves previous line highlighted with the backgorund highlight color defined for the Current Line while I do moving the cursor up/down with Up/Dn arrow keys.In my example the orange is the background color for the Current Line, not the selection.
This will be fixed in alpha 25. Thanks!

For me too.
The part of the screen where the file ends turned white, even though my theme is dark. I also don’t see the use of this new ‘lock’ feature.
I’m unsubscribing from the notifications on the beta thread as I don’t use emeditor much. Good luck, and thanks!EDIT: sorry, this was supposed to be a post on the beta 24 thread, not a new thread.
I don’t see a way to delete a thread…Before trying the narrowing command, please make sure the Outside of regions background color is different from the General background color.
The color problem may be fixed in alpha 25. Please let me know if the problem still exists in alpha 25. Thanks!

Any chance of getting a dotted line for the Indent guide, instead of a solid line (as a solid line takes focus away from the code) ?Did you check “Dotted Lines” in the Scroll tab of configuration properties?

I was directed to the alpha version because I wanted to use the outline plugin and not have commented lines collapsible.Link
It seems like when you have two commented lines together it still gets collapsed. sample code below.

OK. I completely misunderstood your request. Can you please describe exactly what you want EmEditor to do?

Version: EmEditor Professional 8.05OS: Win XP Pro 32-bit
Key Hardware: two monitors, Radeon X300 video card
Bug Description: When using two monitors, when EmEditor is maximized in the second monitor, lines of text are not updated correctly. Characters go missing. Doing anything that causes that particular line of text to be redrawn (such as moving the cursor to that line) causes the missing characters to appear. Doing anything that causes the whole window to be redrawn at once (such as scrolling) causes the characters to disappear again. This does not happen on the primary monitor. This does not happen when EmEditor is not maximized.
Workaround: Instead of maximizing EmEditor on the second monitor, position and stretch the window to fill the entire screen.
I use two monitors all the time, but I never have problems. I currently use Windows Vista (64-bit), but I also used Windows XP (32-bit). I would try another kind of video card.

Hi folks,I do a lot of programming for old-style systems, and as such, it’s generally easiest if I try to keep my lines of code to 80 characters or less.
I’d like to put a margin guide, such as a light grey line or some such thing at column 80 in EmEditor. Is there a way to turn on such a right margin guide? I’ve been looking, and can’t find one. If there’s not such a thing, can I suggest it as a feature request?
Thanks in advance for any help!
You might want to change the background color of the “Outside of regions” in the Display tab of configuration properties.

I need to do a custom outline for SystemVerilog. In this language, a collapsed line should be, for example, begin/end or class/endclass. Is it possible to not select words that have been commented out? I noticed for built in configurations like C++, the “{“ that are commented out do not get collapsed, which is what I am looking for.Thanks
In EmEditor v9 alpha, the Outline plug-in was modified to ignore commented lines. You might want to try that new alpha version.

Not sure if it’s the expected behaver…
The “Incremental Search” option in Replace dialog box doesn’t work , the option in find dialog box works OK, you type and you get the matching items, just like you type in the findbar plag-in.
Type in Replace dialog box returns nothing…This will be fixed in alpha 23. Thanks!

Is it possible to get a prompt asking me if I want to close emeditor if there are multiple tabs open?The latest alpha version of v9 asks you when you are about to close the last group of EmEditor window.

1) having some indicator of what has changed in a file would be killer. Hippoedit and notepad++ show vertical lines in the gutter. The thicker line indicates lines in the editor which have changed since the last save. The thinner ones indicate lines that have changed in the current editing session and have already been saved. IDE’s all have this. There’s no reason why editors can’t. It’d be killer in combination with a good integration with VCS (I like mercurial).In EmEditor, if you display line numbers, modified lines are displayed as thick bold-font line numbers. I hope this helps.

+1 please fix this.
it’s unconfortably small. And changing it system -wide is not a good solution.
I’d like a block (red color) in emeditor, and normal cursor everywhere else in the OS.
Thanksv9 alpha 20 will allow you to customize caret size and color. Thanks!

Thank you for your answers!“Search Only Word” will not work well with Regular Expressions. Instead, you should use Word Boundaries:
Please, clarify if this behavior is only at the current version or will be permanent… to begin editing my macros now… :-o
Cheers,
jugaorAll versions. The word boundary regular expressions are available both on v8 and v9. So you shouldn’t use “Search Only Word” checkbox with regular expressions.

Hi.
I found a strange behavior with this regexp:
“el( |rn)(l+?)(ega|aba|ase)” [OnlyWord]It doesn’t match phrases as “el llegaba” or “el llegase”.
I guess that the subexpression “ega” is blocking the results, but the OnlyWord condition should not be enough?
(I tried “ega” and even “ga” at the three positions, with the same behavior).BTW
“el( |rn)(l+?)(ega|aba|ase)( |,|;|.|:|!|?|$|_|-|<)" [OnlyWord]
works as expected.I found a new case of the formerly reported issue?
http://www.emeditor.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=1009&forum=5Thank you very much for your attention,
jugaor
(EmEditor 8.04, Windows XP SP3)As I wrote in another thread, please use regular expressions for word boundaries instead:
The following escape sequences match the boundaries of words:
< Matches the start of a word.
> Matches the end of a word.
b Matches a word boundary (the start or end of a word).
B Matches only when not at a word boundary.I will add thse expressions to the Help. Thank you!

Hola, amigo Yutaka.
EM is a great product, but at your request (“earlier rather than later”) I want to report here several issues (all versions). I numbered’em to facilitate your answers :-D
Sorry for my bad English, I’ll try to be as clear as possible.1. The OR operator with ‘Search Only Word’ got confused if an including word goes first at the expression (two or more):
(siempre|sintagma|si) OK, matches ‘siempre’/’sintagma’/’si’
(si|siempre|sintagma) BAD, matches ‘si’ but not ‘siempre’/’sintagma’
(If this is the expected behavior, please say it at “Regular Expression Syntax” section inside Help)2. “Find and Replace in Files” operations treat the special chars (‘ñ’, ‘ç’, accented vowels) as word boundaries. For example: “aca” with ‘Search Only Word’ matches the first part of “acañar” or the last parts of “austríaca”, “ilíaca” and so………
BUT if “Use Regular Expressions” is enabled too, EM works well (!!!). (F&R at open files never have any problem).3. Please stop the “Escape sequence” auto triggering in F&R dialog (I already said it in a previous post :-(). Besides the additional click to deactivate it, it always duplicates / and chars at Find Line. A nicer behavior could be remember the last user selection of switches.
4. The dialog “Treat the following characters as alphanumerics” (Customize) is working…? (i.e., it applies to what operations?)
If I add any alien char (for example @) EM still treats it as non-letter (using ‘Search Only Word’ or the w operator).5: (Helpfile) Please include two clarifications (for regexp newbies as I… was ;-)):
a) The ordinals (º,ª) are always treated as alphanumeric, not word boundaries, so l and w includes’em.
b) The “(?” subexpressions allow several strings with I (OR operator), but the lookbehind ones must be lenght fixed.Thank you very much for your time, attention and talent!

“Treat the following characters as alphanumeric” did not work when searching. This will be fixed in the next alpha version (alpha 19).
In order to stop the “Escape sequence” auto trigerring in F&R dialog, you can now uncheck both “Use Selected Text in Find/Replace dialog box” and “Use Word at Cursor in Find/Replace dialog box” in the “Search” tab of the Customize dialog box.
Thanks so much for your input!

I dont need add new brackets. It is only a question because I dont understand checkboxes on screenshot.Checked items in the list are brackets to be recognized as paried brackets. Some of these are double-byte characters. You seem to have no Japanese fonts installed in your system, and that is why some of items look squares.

OK, I can see how I could get this working, but it’s not calling one of the configured external tools [i.e. tools menu -> external tools].This is still OK, but can I capture the output of WshShell.Run( “app.exe”, sCmdline ); ?
How about this?
sCmdline = prompt( "Command line: ", "" )
var wsh = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
wExec = wsh.Exec("app.exe " + sCmdline);
OutputBar.Visible = true;
OutputBar.SetFocus();
OutputBar.writeln("--------");
OutputBar.write(wExec.StdOut.ReadAll());
OutputBar.write(wExec.StdErr.ReadAll());

Thanks for the reply, but what I’m asking is how to write this macro. I can see hpow to execute an external tool from a macro, but I can’t see how to pass parameters to it in a macro.
You would write something like this:
WshShell = new ActiveXObject( "WScript.Shell" );
sCmdline = prompt( "Command line: ", "" )
WshShell.Run( "app.exe", sCmdline );

I like auto-completing brackets/quotation marks.What I don’t like is when I select a text block and input a quotation mark, the quotation marks would automatically surround the selected text instead of replacing them.
It becomes a problem when using together with snippets where we use ‘tab’ key to switch between input focuses. In each focus, the text would be pre-selected. And if we enter a quotation mark, a pair of them would automatically surround the pre-selected text instead of replacing them.
I will have the next version disable the auto-complete bracket feature while a snippet is active (while the cursor is actively at any placeholder position). Thanks!

This release is getting better and better. Thank you for your wonderful work.One minor problem I encountered (not sure if it is feature or not) is that: when I select something, if I click a character such as quotation mark, parenthesis, the whole selected string will be enclosed by the newly insert character pair. I would expect the selected string is REPLACED by the character I just entered. This is particularly annoying when we use snippet feature and switch input focuses.
This is one of new features of v9, but you can disable by unchecking “Auto-Complete Brackets/Quotation Marks” in the Highlight (2) tab of configuration properties.

I can’t see how do do this, but is it possible to write a macro to execute an external tool with prompts for the parameters prior to execution?Specifically, I want to execute the osql command line tool passing the current file path/name [no problem here]. But I also want to prompt for the server and database parameters.
Any thoughts?
For this purpose, you will need to write a macro. External Tools currently cannot include a user interface to input parameters.

The bug in Javascript->Get Element snippet.I fixed this on alpha 18. Thanks!
Whether does here look like e-texteditor to present the sequence quick key?
You will just need to change the macro for doctype. I will change the default snippets in future versions.
