Any possibility to show spaces with another character (e.g. a small dot) when show marks is turned on?

Now supported on v7.5 alpha 5!

1. crashes

I don’t see any problems with dragging a file from Explore. Do you see any conditions?

2.
Large File Controller always shows up, even when I open a file with 4 KB.

Please check what you set in the “Minimum File Size to Open Asynchronously” text box in the “Advanced” tab of the Customize dialog box. Any file larger than this file size will make the Large File Controller show up.

Hello from Paris :-)

First, I would like to congratulate the developper(s?) for this excellent piece of software. But as I’m a TextPad switcher, there are some functionalities that I miss, and require me to switch back and forth between EmEditor and TextPad, while I’d prefer to use EmEditor alone.

Since I’m a new user, some functionalities may be there, but I do not find them: if that is the case, could you be kind enough to explain to me how to proceed? Now here we go:

* append to the clipboard
I am used to do Shift-Control-C or Shift-Control-X to copy/cut and append to the clipboard. I did not find any clipboard append, right?

* find: mark all lines / copy/cut all marked lines
I often use these features in TextPad, but did not find them.

* configure “tag jump”
a custom regular expression that would return the file path, line number and possibly column number from the output bar, so that double-clicking on an error message would go to the source line. This would allow for instance to match Ruby error messages:
intervals.rb:8: undefined local variable or method `i_do_no_exist’ for main:Object (NameError)

That’s all for the moment. Again, bravo for the editor !

Thierry

* append to the clipboard

This can be done by a macro:

	str = clipboardData.getData("Text");

	clipboardData.setData("Text", str + document.selection.Text);

	

and you can assign the macro to a keyboard shortcut.

* find: mark all lines / copy/cut all marked lines

You will need to explain me exactly what you want to do, but it should be done by writing a macro.

* configure “tag jump”

Version 7.5 alpha has this feature.

Will I be able to distinguish whether “save” or “save as” has been called?

I would need this …

No, I am afraid not.

Actually i would like a field to specify characters that should not be a word delimiter which is the opposite of what i asked…..sorry about that. Just a simple field where i can add all the characters that should not be word delimiters for each configuration and also the option to specify for all configurations.
The reason why this would be a nice feature is because i work with textfiles that contains a lot of special characters and IP addresses. If i doubleclick on the IP address 10.10.10.10 i would like the whole address to be selected. With the current version this is not possible because i cannot specify that “.” (dot) should be part of the word and not a word delimiter. A lot of the textfiles i work with contains commands that include special characters like “-“, “/”, “_” etc. It’s much faster for me when i use another text editor where a doubleclick can select the whole command or IP address to be able to cut/copy/paste or connect. For the IP addresses/hostnames i also have a couple of shortcut keys to start a telnet, ssh or ldap session to the IP address or hostname and then i doubleclick on the IP address and use the shortcut key to connect.
If there is any doubt i can give some examples of other text editors where this feature is available to see the behavior, but it’s pretty simple. The current version of emeditor have space and all special characeters as a word delimiter, but i would like to specify that some of these character should not be a word delimiter.

If you need further information or want me to give some more information regarding this feature please let me know.

Regards
Gan

It will be implemented in 7.5 alpha 5. It will be called a little different. It will be “Treat the following characters as alphanumeric:” in the Customize dialog box > Edit tab.

The current Erase Find Highlight (Alt + F3) removes the highlighting in the current file only. I often do a find in all open files and have to do Alt + F3 on each page to remove highlighting on all pages.

It would be great if Alt + F3 would erase the highlight from all files. A preference that determines if this new behavior or the current behavior is used (current file or all files option), or a separate menu item and key combination would also work.

Great work!

I don’t think anyone needs the old behavior, so I changed this command so it would erase the highlight from all the documents in the same window, from 7.5 alpha 5.

Also there is an event “File Opened” but no event “File Saved”.
Could you add this event please?

EVENT_SAVING event has been added to 7.5 alpha . This event will be sent immediately before saving the document. It is defined as:

	#define EVENT_SAVING			0x04000000

Thanks to emeditor I got great efficiency.

Now I have one question.
I ‘d like to press the “at head” button in “insert sequence number plugin” using macro jsee script.
below command run the “Insert sequence number plugin” in jscript
editor.ExecuteCommandByID(5646);
But further I’d like to automatically press the “at head” button in Insert sequence number plugin, using macro.
Is it possible?

I don’t think it is easy. I would write a complete script including the sequence number insert (without using the plug-in).

Hi,

I have written more than 50 macros, most of them are in a customized main menu and have keyboard shortcuts.
Unfortunately all of them show if I open the Macro main menu. This menu is very long. Is there a way not to list all of them here or move them into a submenu?

Thanks,
Oliver

Yes, you can customize menus to whatever you would like (Tools > Customize Menus).

Hi,

if there is no CR/LF after the last line of a document, and I select multiple lines with Shift+Cursor-down, the last line cannot be selected.
This is very annoying for me as my last editor could do this.
Is there a way to get this behaviour back in EmEditor?

Thanks,
Oliver

This is the specification of EmEditor, and Notepad behaves the same.

You might want to get used to using CTRL + SHIFT+ END instead.

EE is great. i have tried many editors but when i come across EmEditor,i think i found what i want. It’s the best Unicode-support editor i have ever seen.
BUT there is still something lacking so that i can’t let EE replace all editors in my computer.
in my opinion EE is suitable(or …say perfect:-) ) for daily editing, but when programming, i still have to use SciTE4Autoit3, which is the best programmer’s editor for me.

1. i can’t find calltips support in emeditor,(ie. type “ControlSend(” and automatically popup a tip box showing you how to use this function)

2. also there seems no abbreviation support in emeditor(ie. type “cgf” and hit a key to get “ControlGetFocus()”),

i think the best way is let user to define it in txt files, and Emeditor just load these file when editing particular files.
these tools are really important for a programmer.
HEX support means nothing to me but it’s still a good news to hear that you would add it in future :-)
something else: would the built-in autocomplete feature support both TAB and ENTER to finish a word in future? i mean, most editors including UE/VIM/SciTE use TAB to do that, it’s strange Emeditor use ENTER to do the same thing. :-?

1. Try EmEditor 7.5 alpha which support the parameter info with tooltip with the Projects plug-in.

2. You can use AutoComplete plug-in (you have to download separately at http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=4&lid=97)

I purchased EmEditor to help me edit large (4.8 GB and larger) ASCII text files. I have a duo core laptop, WinXP Pro and 2 GB ram.

Can you recommend settings to optimize the Finding and Editing of text ?

Thanks :-)

You should be able to use EmEditor at default settings for maximum speed. However, if the text is not .txt file, you might want to try Text configuration to start with, and you might want to disable all plug-ins.

For opening large files, it is fairly pointless to wait hours in order to view the header of a 5gb video, or finding out the schema name of a 50gb database dump, or trying to edit 3 lines on a 6gb xml stream. What I am suggesting here have almost never been done by other editors before. What you do is specify a window within a large file that you want to edit. This is to say you let the program know where you want to start opening the file, and for how many bytes do you want the edit window to be. When you save, the beginning and the ending of the file are appended to your editing window. Many database programs use this technique, and i think it can be a valuable addition to EmEdit

Yes, I have been already thinking about this feature!

The Default Extension (specified in the File tab of configuration properties) was intentionally emptied in the newer versions. When you save a file, in the Save As dialog box, make sure to selecdt “Text (*.txt)” in the Save As Type drop-down list, OR enter “txt” in the Default Extension text box in the File tab of Text configuration properties.

Some of our perl scripts output a lot of data, and the top gets lost after 838 lines.

Is there a way to increase the output buffer size? We could output to a file, too, but that would seriously hamper our editing efficiency, not having the output in the output bar to work from.

Thanks!

I will increase the buffer size for the next major version. Thanks!

Ah, I see. Indeed, this could be the case.

Right mouse button must be kept pressing (not actually clicked) while you rotate the mouse wheel.

Yes, I do keep it pressed.
For example, in Opera I do the following:
1. Press the right mouse button.
2. While keeping the right button pressed, start scrolling the wheel.
3. Immediately a page switch window appears in the Opera window, where I see the list of all opened tabs, and the mouse wheel scrolls these tabs.
4. I scroll to the tab I need, then release the right mouse button which I kept pressed all this time. The switcher window disappears, and the selected tab is activated.

I tried absolutely the same in EmEditor, but after the step 2 absolutely nothing happens, as I scroll the wheel. Besides, when I release the right button after trying to scroll, the context menu does not appear: it shows that a) I did not release the button before scrolling started, and b) the mouse wheel is not completely ignored.

I tried Opera, and EmEditor works very similar to Opera except that EmEditor does not display the switch window. What kind of mouse and mouse driver do you use? Was the mouse wheel customized in the control panel?

[Yutaka Emura]

Function Bar and Reload as Binary (ASCII/Hex) are included in the Standard Main menu. If you have customized the main menu before, you will need to go to Tools > Customize Menus to reset the menus.

I will fix the Alt key issue on Function Bar and other issues.

Right mouse button must be kept pressing (not actually clicked) while you rotate the mouse wheel.
