-A monochromatic print mode would be nice, since some colours are not completely black when printed on a monochromatic printer. Coloured keywords could be made bold instead.

Check “Ignore Color and Underlines” on the Print tab of configuration properties.

-“Windows” next to tabs is unnecessary. Also, buttons are better than tabs.

I am not sure what “Windows” next tabs means… Buttons can be selected from the Tab tab of the Customize dialog box, or select “Customize Tab” after right-click on the tab, and then click the “Style” drop-down list.

Thanks for your comments!

hi,
I’m back with another uninstall lol
This time is emeditor version 7 (emed702epx) with no plugin chosen during installation.

It’s the search box using ctrl F or ctrl H.
When it does not pop up, I don’t know how to get it back.

All I did was uninstall and reinstall.
In details, I exported my personal settings first, then Uninstalled and Removed the settings it asked me whether to keep or not.

The problem does not happen when I imported the exported personal settings before uninstallation.

But it would persist if I chose to keep all the settings during the uninstallation process.

Do you use any language packs? If so, does the version of the language pack match the EmEditor version?

QUESTION1 and 2:
Is there a way to open the “Search” dialog box from within an EmEditor macro? Is there a way to trigger an EmEditor menu item to open from a macro?

For example, it would be nice to be able to fire activation of Tools :: Plugins :: Explorer from inside a macro. It would be nice to have access to all menu items from inside a macro.

QUESTION23
If No to question 1, is there a recommended way to do “sendkeys” from within a macro so that you can send the key necessary to open the dialog box or menu?

In the help it says that it is not recommended to send keys directly to EmEditor, and yet when recording macros with the record feature, it records keystrokes. What is the story here?

thanks for any help

You can open Explorer plug-in from a macro:

editor.ExecuteCommandByID( nID );

, but you cannot have access to all menu items within the plug-in.

You cannot send keys from within a macro. EmEditor can record keystrokes only toward another application.

Hi~all

I don’t know whether this is a bug:

<file://D:test.txt>
<file://D:Program Filestest.txt>

Why the second link couldn’t displayed full?

I had tried some text editors,some of they can displayed like:
<file://D:Program Filestest.txt>
and some displayed like:
<file://D:Program Filestest.txt>

Who is right?

This is just a matter of preference. If you want the second link displayed full, go to the Link tab of Properties, and add a space to the “Recognize These Characters” text box. Also, you probably want to add a space to the “Characters Not Allows at End” text box.

When using EmEditor on more than one computer (e.g., usb stick settings used at work and home for one user) the output bar has problems when used on a screen with lower resolution.

The problem is, on a lower-resolution screen, the top of the output bar does not appear within the visible portion of the screen, and there is no way to make it smaller because the mouse cursor cannot reach it.

Is there a way to change the output bar size with the keyboard alone?

If not, is there a way to change the settings for the size of the output bar?

I am not sure exacly what the issue is. What is the resolution of the screen?
Do you want the function bar smaller?

Dear Sir,

I experience bad news with EmEditor Professional 8.00 beta 11 and beta 12, 32-Bit. Tools /Customize appears on every start of the software, telling me that

“The selected language pack is not for this version of EmEditor. Select or
install the correct version of language pack.”

Installed is emed600lang_german.msi, and newer version I could not find. In EmEditor Professional 8.00 beta 07 or before, this didn’t occur.

For future installations, it would be fine if there would the error message being removed, or a new language pack would appear.

Best regards,

Michael Lukas Sarides

You are right. You should not use Version 6 or 7 language pack with EmEditor v8. Doing so would prevent some features from working correctly. Please use the English user interface until version 8 language pack becomes available.

Hello,

I would like to know if and how it´s possible to wait for completion of the opening process of a file before the macro will start running.

At the moment, I have three files with the following config:
1. File -> ~ 5000 lines
2. File -> ~ 4000 lines
3. File -> ~ 50000 lines

The first two files are loaded quickly, and the macro runs successful, but if EmEditor opens the third file, the macro will run if EmEditor was started. But at this time, the file is´nt fully loaded and the macro does not run correctly. If I delete a part of the file, so that EmEditor can open the file correctly, also the macro will run successful. :-(

Do you have any idea to solve this, i.e. “wait until file is loaded”.

Thx and best regards
Thorsten

I will check later when I have a time. For now, you can increase the size specified in the “Minimum File Size to Open Asynchronously” text box in the advanced tab of the Customize dialog box.

That’s the limitation. You will need to find another regular expression to solve it. How about {n,m} ?

Thanks.

Check “Regular Expression can match new line characters” check box is cleared and “Additional lines to search for regular expressions” text box is set to “0” in the Search tab of the Customize dialog box.

I cannot stop the popup window when there is an error.

Yes. This is a limitation of the regular expression engine. You should use a non-greedy form: (.+?)nn1

The bug with lost selection is not fixed in beta 9. Please do the following:

1) Open a file (e.g. EmEditorPlugInsCOPYING_ctags.txt)
2) Select vertical block of text:

3) Press Shift+Down Arrow.

You will see that selection is lost.

This will be fixed in beta 11. Thanks!

The bug with strange selection is still persist in beta 9. Sometimes when selecting vertical block of text and moving mouse quickly from left to right appears strange selection that you can see on the following screenshot (it is made on EmEditorPlugInsCOPYING_ctags.txt file).

Yes, I realize you are right. However, as soon as you release the mouse button, you should not see the strange selection. The exceptions are some tabs and also when you use proportional fonts.

Yes, disabling “Additional lines to search RegEx : 10”
helps here.

This means that ?-sign didn’t switch non-greedy.
EmEditor still search for the longest match and
search for my 10+ lines.

——

Before disabling this “Additional lines” i try:
Search ^(.+?Fixed:.+?)$
Replace: #1#

I added two ?-signs.

Pressing [Replace all]
give me a messgbox: “Out of memory. No UNDO available”
Pressing [No] here lets EmEditor stop working.

———–

Suggestions:
1.) EmEditor should recognize the ?-sign to work non-greedy.
2.) i want to point to my request to add this “Dot find new line”-option to the find&replace-dialog
for easy access

Thank you so much for reporting the redrawing issue. I will fix this and build the next beta shortly.

I don’t know why you don’t get good results with non-greedy marks. You should probably use 0 for “Additional Lines to search RegEx” and uncheck “Regular Expressions can match new lines” check box.
I always think about adding these options in the Find/Replace dialog box, but there wasn’t enough time by Version 8. Maybe next version, I will consider that.

Using EmEditor Professional 8.00 beta 9

You must have the Tray Icon running for this feature to work. If it is already running, your system might have a conflict with another application. Right click on the Tray Icon, and select “Customize Tray Icon”, where you can change the shortcut key to Grab Text with EmEditor.

I don’t know why you had the issue with regular expressions. I cannot reproduce this issue with the same regular expression. Can you reprodue with a simpler text, maybe English text? If so, can you let me know the text that I can reproduce the issue? Thank you!

Hi, I type a RegEx in the search box and it says “Invalid Regular Expression”. My Regex is “(?<=).*(?=)”, which should be right. I have test it with some Regex Tester and it works.
I tested more and found emeditor did not support +/*/? in (?<=exp), is that right?

That is true. The pattern in (?<=exp) must be fixed length.

HI, I’m a new user of emeditor.
when I use emeditor to open a file, emeditor treat the file as text format. I have to switch configure manully. for example, when I open a .cpp file, I expect that emeditor will use the c++ configure, but it doesn’t, any type of file are treated as text.
thx.

Try resetting all configurations. To do this, Define Configurations on the Select Configuration sub-menu on the Tools menu, and click the Reset All button.

Hi,
I’ve encountered this problem is both verision 7 and version 8 beta6
OS: Japanese Windows XP SP3 (possibly SP2 encountered as well? I did a recent OS upgrade but encountered this a few times.)

The search box does not show up after some time of use. (I can still search but need blind-typing…)
I need to re-install and clear personal settings to solve this problem.

I have installed the plugins that comes with emeditor and the 2 text sorting plugins too. I’m not sure will they affect it(?)

Which search box are you talking about? The search box you will get when you press CTRL + F? or search box in the Toolbar?

Hi,

I am using Emeditor7 and I am missing a simple “RightClick Menu + ReloadFile” file function. I know that EmEditor has an automatic detection for changed files, but I have to turn it of.

To reload a file I use “File -> Reload > Same Encoding”. I need it quite often, so it is kind of annoying. Another alternativ is to use a shortcut key like “F5”, which means a reload in most brosers.

If this possibility already exists, I would be very thankful for a hint. Keep up the good work… I am looking foreward to the large file controller in EE8!

How about double-clicking the Status Bar where you see the current encoding?

Also, you can customize the right-click menu (Context Menu) to however you would like. To customize menus, select Customize Menus on the Tools menu.

I believe the updated tabbed file enhancements were introduced around EmEditor 7. However, ever since this changed behavior, my editing experience has never been the same :(

In a nutshell, I really miss the original tabbing capabilities of EmEditor. The ability to simply CTRL + TAB to the next tab (chronologically) and CTRL + SHIFT + TAB to go back. That’s it. The sorting was simply chronological, based on the current “View” (or sorting) of the open tabs, no re-arrangement, etc.

While the new Tab arrangement features are nice to have, I have found myself constantly having to Work-Around this “feature”. It is very frustrating to want to jump one, or even three tabs ahead, but be limited from doing so and only being able to jump based on which was Last Active, by file type, or alphabetically, etc.

Auto-Arrange is the best attempt at curing this issue, however once a tab is activated, it is forced back to the beginning and can throw off the entire sequence. Argh! This is especially concerning when there are 10-20+ open tabs at one time :(

In short, if there is something I am missing, please let me know! How can I keep my own defined arrangement for my tabs (drag and drop re-ordered, etc) and be able to change tabs chronologically, as some of the best tabbed applications handle them: FireFox, iTerm, etc.

Is there anyway EmEditor 8 can feature a new “Arrange tabs by” option to reintroduce this missing tab behavior?

Thank you for such a wonderful editor, Emurasoft! +1 for Mac OS X port :)

I am not sure exacly what you need, but did you check “Switch to Last Used Document for Next Document Command” in the Window tab of the Customize dialog box?

Why do you want to disable it? You don’t have to use it if you don’t need it.
