Maybe you can set Tab/Indent another option except Enable Auto Indent and insert space for Tabs, such as: Insert defined character, So we can input another character, such as: ###, @@@, ㊣㊣㊣…etc.
thanks!

You can write a macro:

	document.write( "###" );

	

then assign this macro to the TAB key. To assign keys, select Keyboard Map on the Help menu.

Greetings!

EmEditor is a very smart product. I can tell the person who developed knew what he was after to make it as flexible and powerful as possible while still easy to use.

EmEditor is almost at the level of Vim in terms of its power, and Textmate in terms of its “coolness”. I am surprised I haven’t heard about it before now.

There are only a few things missing that will make EmEditor pure genius if they are added in:

1) More GUI control types:
There needs to be a way to use the “general purpose” input gui that is included with the Snippets plugin. EmEditor macros has the prompt dialog, and that is great for simple input boxes, but this extra control that comes with Snippets should be available in Emeditor core.

Also, there needs to be a “history-based” GUI control that remembers what you have typed, available in macros as well. To see what I am talking about look at JEdit and see:
http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/action-bar.html
for an example.

For another example of what I am talking about, open your Firefox browser and type in “about:config” … then type in the word “filter” and notice how the text is filtered as you type.

2) Ability to make the Plugin Windows “dockable” (again, see JEdit for an example of how this is done).

3) A bit more documentation for plugins, as well as the ability to write plugins in language besides C [e.g., script-based plugins].

4) Ability to use Multiple Arbitrary Simultaneous Carets
http://blog.macromates.com/2006/textmate-tricks

The reason for these ideas is this: they allow EmEditor to handle things that cannot be easily done by writing a Macro — Macros can handle just about everything else (since you can use perl, python, ruby and javascript, which are all industrial-strength cross-platform solutions).

Thanks for any feedback or comments.

Thanks for your opinions. I looked at those links you provided.

1) It is possible to use third-party COM objects, but I might consider additional GUI controls. Did you want “Snippets” grid control? 2) I didn’t want to make “dockable” because it can cause significant size increase in EmEditor.exe size. 3) I will add more information about plug-ins to the Help and also am creating tutorial videos. 4) the only way to enter multiple strings is to use vertical selection. I might consider more flexible ways in future versions. Thanks again!

Hi Yutaka.

Sorry if you dont understand me, may be it is becouse of my english… So, I try explain my question one more time and I will be more detailed. So, I want to use EmEditor for programming SQL codes (Oracle PLSQL). In this syntax people used to write keyword as uppercase. Like this example:
PROCEDURE showtime
IS
CURSOR curTab
IS
SELECT table_name
FROM user_table;
nCounter NUMBER(6);
BEGIN
FOR recTab IN curTab LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(nCounter) || ‘ – table: ‘ || recTab.table_name);
END LOOP;
END;

So, as can you see, keyword is putted as UPPERCASE words. And here is my question…
How can I setup EmEditor for this functionality… I can switch on WordCoplete. OK… if I write keyword “begin”, word complete show me little dialog vith this words, which is in dialog as “BEGIN”. My cursor is still on end of the worg “begin”, in dialog is highlited word “BEGIN”. A can do 2 things.
1. I push enter. EmEditor aplicate word from dialog and transform word “begin” to “BEGIN”. This is nice, its OK. I can write next code… But, I must entered every keyword, if I want have keyword as uppercase.
2. I push space. EmEditor close word complete dialog, space is addet next “begin” and I continueing in progrmming.

And I want to this:
I starting write “begin”… EmEditor show wordcomplete dialog to hinting pissibilities… If I dont choose noone, nothing happen. BUT, if I push space, EmEditr automaticaly transform “begin” to “BEGIN”. Because I have turn on checkbox To UpperCase in Highlight(1) option. Is is like after every keyword highlight this word and manualy change to uppercase function… What are you thinking about this functionality. It will be posiible add this to highlight option of SQL syntax???

I pray for this in EmEditor… :-D

I am sorry it took a long time before I can finally answer to your question. If you want the SPACE key to behave just like ENTER key, go to Word Complete Properties (Right-click on the Word Complete button on the Plug-ins toolbar), select SQL and double-click, click Keyboard tab, and select Complete in Commands drop-down list, and press SPACE in the Press New Shortcut Key. I hope this helps.

I am finding that EmEditor 8 beta 3 replace function does not cope well with large files. I have been trying it on a 5 Mb file. Replace tasks involving thousands of items lead to the program freezing; sometimes even locking up the computer. Same file in NoteTab Pro is dealt with very quickly without any problem.

EmEditor 8’s replace speed is much faster than previous versions, and faster than many text editors as we discussed in previous threads in our forums. However, there might be some exceptions like multiple-line terms and regular expressions. Can you please describe an example of your search term?

I could scroll the selected (blue highlighted) text behind the warning by moving the mouse off the top or botton of the edit window but not select the warning window.

It took me some time to find out how this works to split lines.

Before you can split lines you have to enable one of the wrap modes.

1.) Wrap lines with one of the three modes till your lines are wrapped the way you like it.
(this wraps all lines in the whole text)
Use “Wrap by Characters Strg+2” to split after x chars (use “Tools > Properties > General > Normal Lines Margin” to set char count)
2.) Now select the lines you want to split for ever
3.) “click right mouse button, select Convert Selection, and then Split Lines.”
Now this lines are spitted to single lines, all others are wrapped only.
Then use an other wrap mode to see the remnant text in an proper way again.

If ‘No Wrap’ mode is enabled, then “Split Lines” is greyed out.
This is not an familiar way… but i will check it out :-D

Better would be if split would work with ‘No Wrap Strg+1’ too.
Maybe show an dialog to enter the amount of chars to split after.
Yes, imho it’s better to have “split lines” independent from “Wrap”
That way we could wrap lines “By WIndow” Strg+3 but still split some lines at “char 72”

That way we could reformat paragraphs more easy.
:-) What do you think Yutaka?

I think this feature should be added as a plug-in or a macro. I think you or someone can write a macro for just that easily.

Is it possible for you to paste clipboard text

Because if i copy text from an webside
there is HTML code also in the clip board.
Then sometimes it is nice to paste this HTML code
into the editor and modify them, f.ex. delete JScript
or modify absolute links

Maybe you could provide an “Paste as..”-Dialog
to choose what to paste from clipboard?

:-D What do you think?

I don’t want to make EmEditor core bloated adding features like this, but it might be possible using a plug-in. Perhaps, someone can create a plug-in does just that.

v8 beta3
I don’t know if this is beta related only. So i post it here. O.K.?

Problem:
Replacing with two lines in replace-box of find+replace-dialog
didn’t works for REPLACE ALL feature?

Fact:
I have this line:
Drive, Sub-command [, Drive , Value]

I want get this lines:
#T=Drive
Drive, Sub-command [, Drive , Value]#

I use regEx search
^(w+)(, )(.+)$

and replace with
#T=1
123#

If i now use single FIND and then REPLACE all works O.K.
I get:
#T=Drive
Drive, Sub-command [, Drive , Value]#

Only if i use REPLACE ALL i get an bad result like
#T=Drive Drive, Sub-command [, Drive , Value]#

Now i found i have to use n insteed an real linebreak in replace box:
Replace with: #T=1n123#
Then it works.
This was not logically to me
since we can use replace with several lines. Isn’t it?
So i think this is some kind of bug and i want to report it.

—

Second issue:
I used to test my expression by using single-Find and single-replace on the first few lines..
If all went O.K. i use global-Replace All

But this feature in EmEditor
replace the first few test lines again too :-o

I never have seen this behavior with other editors.
They replace all BELOW current cursor position ONLY.
And not the lines above.
Would be nice if EmEditor would do this too.

Or what do you think?
If you need more info just ask. :-D

I fixed your first issue. Thank you for reporting.

The second issue must be added as an option. It is too late for Version 8, but I might think as a new feature in future versions. Thanks!

I am searching the help for this feature…

is there an way to let -at start of an external tool-
an dialog box appear to ask for the current argument?

Like
Com = C:myTest.cmd
Arg = $(ask) “C:TestOutput”

That way i like to start an tool and want to be asked for an current argument just in time.

————————————————–
Modify the argument for C:myTest.cmd
[ C:TestOutput ]
[OK] [Cancel] [Open Dir of Tool]
————————————————–

$(ask) is my idea to add such an feature to the list of predefined arguments
to let the argument dialog box appear
to let the user modify the argument – click [OK] – and EmEditor launch the tool with the current parameter.

What do you think?
Could this be implemented please? :-)

External Tools contain only minimum features. For your purposes, you might want to write macros, and you can assign your favorite icons to macros. You just want to use prompt method to modify the argument, and run the tool using

	WshShell = new ActiveXObject( "WScript.Shell" );

	WshShell.Run( toolname and arguments );

I would really recommend you the Word Count plug-in. Or you might want to write a plug-in or macro to count those numbers.

Hi Yutaka.

Of course, I have already setuped all keywords in Highlight (1) tab as uppercase. But, this working only if I write keyword, EmEditor show me autocomplete dialogbox with posibilitie words, I choose one and push enter. If I do this, keyword is changed tu uppercase. But this not working, if I write select, push space to continueing… dialog box will close, keyword select is still select and not SELECT. Is impossible confirming every word in autocomplete dialogbox… existing any others possibilities ??? May be this feature added in future. You can add this possibilitie into tab Highlight – where can user define keywords as underline, italic, bold – you can add UPPERCASE. EmEditor will change all keywords with this option tu uppercase.
What are you thinking about it?

Nuf

I am not exactly sure if I understand your questions, but do you want EmEditor to select “SELECT” when you type “select” and without pressing ENTER key? If you press ENTER after you type “select”, SELECT will be selected from the list.

Hello!

I select vertical block of text and I see small gray frame around the selection.
This behavior has changed in the version 8. In 7.02 there was no frame.
How to switch it off?

I have found the only way:
1) Go to “Properties for All Configurations”
2) Select “Cursor-focused lines”
3) Change “Text Color” to “Transparent”

But it doesn’t work. The frame becomes black in that case.
Will changing this property conflict with something else?
What is “Cursor-focused lines”?

OK. In the beta 3, this frame around the vertical selection will dissapear if the “Cursor-focused lines” is “Transparent”.

The “Cursor-focused lines” means three lines:

– Horizontal/Vertical lines (specified in the Scroll tab of Configuration Properties).
– Frame around vertical selection
– Indent Guides (specified in the Marks tab of Configuration Properties).

I should rename it to something like “Various Lines”.

If you have not created “UseIni.ini” file in the Program Files/EmEditor folder, you are probably using the Registry. You can remove the Registry information by running RegEdit.exe, delete the following trees:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareEmSoftEmEditorPlugIns

For CSS, it always show in CAPITAL letters. But for some configuration such as Perl always show in small letters.

I would like an option to force all candidates to show as small letters and/or capital letters, is this possible?

You probably have all capitalized keywords defined in the Highlight (1) tab of the CSS configuration. That is the case when you upgraded from old versions of EmEditor without resetting configurations. If you change these keywords to all small letters, then all keywords will show up in small letters. You can do so by resetting all configurations, or go to the Highlight (1) tab of the CSS configuration, and click the Reset button and select “Reset to Default” with the default CSS configuration.

Do you use the Registry or INI files? If you use the Registry and select NO when you install, all settings should be uninstalled. However, if you use plug-ins, plug-ins settings are not unistalled. Also, if you uninstall from the different account, your settings may not be uninstalled. Please let me know. Thanks!
