It seem that the autocomplete plug-in can only have 1 active auto complete file.

That, If I want to work with 2 different languages I would have to re-import the word file for each language.

Is this true?

Or you can copy autocomplete.dll to another file, for instance, autocomplete2.dll. Then you can define words independently both plug-ins. However, in the next major version — v9, we will include all Auto Complete features into the Snippets plug-in and multiple configurations can exist in the same plug-in.

When I type “editor.” (with a period) that the properties and methods should pop up.

To do this, you need to create a more detailed macro with all the methods associated with particular objects. So it is not easy.

It seems that setting customizewindow – “Restore Workspace automaticly” does not work. It seems to save it when the option is set but not restore.

You will need to check both “Restore Workspace” and “Save Workspace”.

For instance, instead of the first button being “Find Macro Keyword” I would like it to be something I use all the time. Either something native to EMeditor like commenting the selected lines or a Macro that I created for various purposes.

Thanks

Then, you want to change the keyboard assignment. You can customize from the Keyboard map or configuration Properties > Keyboard to set all functions keys.

Yes, I know. How do you exacly want to customize the Function Bar besides changing the keyboard assignment?

Yes, you are right. It will be fixed in the next version. Thanks!

Well, thank you for your answser. But changing caret width from Windows Control Panel has global effect, which is probably not desirable for a Windows user. So I hope I can customize caret width according to different file type(called Configuration in EmEditor).

As I know, Windows provide CreateCaret API which allows application to set the caret width(the nWidth param). Can EmEditor consider letting its user customize it?

I could, but Windows XP/Vista design guide tells that we should use the control panel settings. In order to get Designed for Windows XP logo, I needed to use the control panel settings.

Thank you

In the Toolbars dialog box, no, you cannot rename the toolbar names. We try to minimize the core features so that the core program is as slim as possible.

Hello there,
I’ve only started using EmEditor and it’s already one of my favourite programs.So far i have encountered three drawbacks.

First one is that if i open a new file without EmEditor being active before opening it,it sort of starts like a new session,discrarding the tabs from previous sessions.So if i want to keep all the tabs from a previous session i need to run EmEditor before opening any file which is kinda of a hassle.I think Notepad++ had a similar function.Any way that i can change this?Just pointing this out because it’s a very good time saver!

Second thing i want to point out is that i haven’t found any option to make EmEditor automatically save my modified files every X minutes which is really helpful.

Third and last is the ability to change the colour of html links from blue to black which is way easier on the eyes.
Thanks for your time,any help is greatly appreciated! :-D

We might consider your first suggestion regarding auto restore workspace and a particular file open.

The second suggestion about auto saving is already possible from configuration properties > Auto Save tab.

The third suggestion is also already possible from configuration properties > Display tab. Please go ahead to look into all tabs in configuration properties and Customize dialogs. Thanks!

The caret in EmEditor editing area looks quite small(to thin, seem only one pixel wide), especially on a large computer screen.

So, is there a way to make the caret wider? Or even better, make the color of the caret customizable.

I’m using EmEditor 8.01 .

Thanks in advance.

You can’t change the color, but you can make it thin. Please see our FAQ at http://www.emeditor.com/modules/xoopsfaq/index.php?cat_id=5#q52 Thanks!

Today, I see your file loading speed comparison chart on this website, where EmEditor free version 6.00.4 is referred. I think it is helpful to have such a free version as a replacement for Windows Notepad when I work on my friends’ computer.

Where can I still download it? Thanks.

We don’t support EmEditor Free because many users prefer EmEditor Professional, and that is the edition we keep developing now and in the future. I would highly recommend using EmEditor Professional.

urlwolf,
Just wanted to thank you for your help even though I still haven’t gotten emeditor to work .

I am sorry it takes long to responde, but I have not researched as to how to add a new language. EmEditor always uses a temporary symbol list with the temporary file name that EmEditor creates. So even if you carete a symbol list by youself by running ctag.exe, I don’t think EmEditor can recognize your symbol list.

Before EmEditor 8.xx, when enabling both options “Clicking in quotes selects the whole string” and “Enable double-clinking only”, only double-clicking a quoted string literal selected it. Since 8.xx, the double-clicking option doesn’t seem to work anymore – the string is always selected on first click. Verified with EmEditor 8.04.

This is the change between v7 and v8 due to users’ request. In v9 there will be an option to customize the detail behavior.

Thanks for a great product.

I am confused about Ctags and symbol lists. Is this something that works only in “c”

Is there a way of defining them for the language I am using?

Thanks

Steven

Not only “C”. Please see Ctags website http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ for information about the supported file list and available options.
On version 8.0x, EmEditor Projects plug-in uses the following command line to pass to ctags.exe.

useroption -n –fields=fKs -f tagfile -L filelist

useroption can be defined by a user in the Projects plug-in (Properties for Current Solution Template > Symbols > Additional Parameters to Ctags). Both tagfile and filelist are temporary files the plug-in creates.

There are several issues I have with Indent Guides in 8.03 (they were also present in earlier versions, but I had completely no time to report the problem, sorry).

1. In some cases the guides are drawn incompletely.

2. Even when the guides are drawn, they are not “stable”: sometimes they are not redrawn by EE when I e.g. scroll the text, but when I make EE redraw its window completely (e.g. by switching to another application and back), the guides are back.

I recorded reproducing both issues on the video:
• Video/EXE (player/codec included)
• Video/AVI (needs MSU Screen Capture Lossless Codec)

I didn’t try to correct this issue in minor updates because it is not a critical issue. I will try to correct it in v9. Thank you.

Thanks for your help.

Actually the problem was that the macro was triggered by an open file event.

If I run it manually it works.

Is this the way it is suppose to work. That if it triggered by an open file event it can not open a file in the current tab which would then close the original file?

It all depends on how EmEditor opens the file, and how you open the file with your macro. How EmEditor opens the file depends on your settings (Configuration Properties > File tab in Changed by Another Program drop-down list box). Also, if you open a large file, EmEditor might open in asynchronous mode (you can set the threshold in the Customize > Advanced tab). I hope this information helps.

Hi,

Again, I reiterate my congratulations, emEditor is great.

After using it for a while, here are some of my Feature requests. Some come from IDEs, so having this in an editor would be a first.
Fold comments (visible with hoover)
Autohighlight word at cursor after 200 miliseconds
Line to separate functions (see how intelliJ IDEA does it)
Go to error in output bar by clicking on the line number
Select paragraph (scope). In vim, while in normal mode you do: vip
Format code (pretty formatting); most editors do this, why not emEditor? (example vim: select code, press = ).
For python: See docstrings on project plugin when one hoovers over a function

Thanks!

Thanks for your comments!

You can double-click (not single-click) a line number in the Output Bar to go to the error position.

When you said “Autohighlight”, do you mean select that word, or highlight with your favorite color?

EmEditor itself does not include features like formatting codes. These tasks should be carried out by external tools to keep EmEditor lightweight.
To format HTML code, you may want to run an external tool to call HTMLTidy, for instance. See:
http://emeditor.web.fc2.com/EmEditor_HTMLTidy.html
for a screenshot.

Using a macro I am copy the currently open file to a another file with the same name and a different extension.
The copy works and the file is copied.
However, when I execute
“editor.OpenFile pxbfilename ” it fails and says it can not execute the command.

Why?

The Code
Set fso = CreateObject( “Scripting.FileSystemObject” )
thefullfilename = document.FullName
pxbfilename = Replace(thefullfilename,”.pub”,”.pxb” )
fso.CopyFile document.FullName, pxbfilename
editor.OpenFile pxbfilename

Steven

It should work, but may be you should insert “Sleep” method between CopyFile and OpenFile. Can you try adding

	Sleep 1000

	

before OpenFile method?

One improvement I’d like to suggest is that more descriptive glyphs be used for displaying control characters in ASCII text files. By default only a NUL character (code 0) is displayed using a @ glyph in EMEditor Professional. Here is a screen shot of another text editor showing exactly what I’d like EmEditor to look like:

I know I can customize the EOF character at present using Marks but I would like all characters outside the normal range to be displayed using their ASCII symbol name as shown in the above screen shot.

EmEditor is a fantastic editor, keep up the great work.

I think, if it’s possible, to make that selection will avoid marks – it will be more obvious behaviour.

Thank you.

This is the specification. Indeed, there is a whilespace called CR/LF at the end of line.

When in EmEditor selection box ends at the end of text, selection box also includes some extra empty box behind text. The bug is reproduceable when ‘Marks’ are disabled, when they are enabled – everything is ok.

This is not a bug. A space is where a return mark is supposed to be.

Thanks for your reply.,

I am not sure if you addressed the following question.

I am trying to figure out what the macro section of the solution configuration does. I know it allows the passing of paramters to macros.
But is there any example of how to use it. Are the macros that are defined there existing macros. Do you have to enter the entire path?
Once entered how are they accessed? “

Steven

If you create a macro in solution template, you can use that macro in Tool arguments. If you click “>” button by Tool Argument text box, you will find defined macros are available. We plan to create a video to show you how you can use macros in the tools.
