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.

Feature request

Is it possible for you to paste clipboard text
as HTML code if there is any?

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 copy first 2 columns. Then I press Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+V. EmEditor displays the cursor:
ababcde

ababcde
ab|abcde << here, see |

Then I press Right Arrow and reveal that the cursor position was displayed incorrectly:

(Right now i have to open an small window on the right side with ‘Word Count’ plugin… but this is lost space for me)

Edit:
And i found an plugin for that issue
“Text Information plug-in (32-bit) Displays information such as number of characters “
http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=4&lid=142
This plugin uses the registry at

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”.

Hi,

I’m using Version 8 Beta 1 and wonder if this is correct:

I have two windows running:

333333333
444444444
555555555

2. ————
aaaaaaaa

I select in both windows the first three columns and try to copy from first to second window.

The result I was hoping to get is this:
111aaaaa
222bbbbb
333ccccc
444ddddd
555eeeee

But the result I get is this:
111aaaaa
111bbbbb
111ccccc
111ddddd
111eeeee

BTW: I tried to upload some screenshots but without success (MSIE7 and FF3)

Thank you,

That is not correct behavior. It will be fixed in the beta 3 version.
Thanks!

when I install the latest version 8 beta 2 I don’t get any question where to install settings, in registry or ini

I don’t remember where I stored the settings of the previous installation (version 7)

how do I manualy remove registry info?

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
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREEmSoftEmEditor v3

I hope this helps.

Dear Yutaka,

Here’s the picture from word complete plug-in version 7.02

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.

The output bar doesn’t highlight any strings because it uses the standard Windows edit control. I know… It would be nice if it can highlight searched strings in the Output Bar.

This is not my plug-in, but you will probably need Microsoft Office installed. However, you can find other plug-ins that do not require Microsoft Office.

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!

It is normal that some characters are narrower than other characters. The cursor position does not need to be the same position at the ruler when fonts are proportional.

The font is not proportional. It’s the old good Courier New. Actually, the problem is not that the characters are different (though it is very inconvenient), but that such characters become overlapped, and the text is nearly unreadable. For example, on the same screenshot you can see that in the second line the 3rd character (“o” in “opr009Q7”) is half-visible.

I have an impression, that you just use wrong width displaying such control characters. Example:
Suppose, the file contains the 0x01 byte and is opened in Binary (ASCII) mode. To display it, you use the inverted “A” character (suppose, its width is 10 pixels for the current size selected). But the width of the 0x01 control character (specified in the font) is less than that if the “A” character (for example, 8 pixels), and you use these 8 pixels to display the 10-pixels wide “A”. And that’s the reason why the next symbol is overlapped with this “A” character.

So, here’s my vision of what’s happening. Am I right or not? In any case, characters should not overlap.

I fixed this issue. Just one comment: Fixed-pitched fonts can be drawn proportional especially when some characters are not found in the original fixed-pitch font, and font-linking is carried out (to support Unicode).

Yes, I can reproduce it from Explorer too. I right-click on a ZIP file, select EmEditor from the context menu and wait. It seems that nothing happens, but when I Alt+Tab to EmEditor I see its “Select Encoding” dialog.

I cannot reproduce this issue using Explorer > select EmEditor a zip file. I tested both on Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Check “Dotted Focused Lines” in the Scroll tab of Configuration Properties (even if “Horizontal/Vertical Line” is not checked).
