No need for macros.
Press CTRL + H
find: “n(:.*)”
replace with : “1”
check use regular expressions
replace all
DoneWOW! So finally dynamic snippet is coming :-)
I have just played around Emeditor 9 alpha for a while, it’s pretty stable, but it seems the “Automatically Show the Candidate List as Typing” function of WordComplete plug-in is not working? the candidate list will never show up only if i let it to do so.
One more suggestion for the new awesome Snippets plug-in: is it possible to mark the candidates with 1-9? therefore user can select them and insert them with one button.
Again, GREAT JOB! Emeditor is walking toward “perfect”.P.S. Can I use the new Snippets plug-in in 8.04?
Hi,
Emeditor has “tabs to spaces” function.
just for fun, I write a macro for a smart del feature://SmartTab4python by zhouzh2
document.selection.CharLeft(true,1);
document.selection.CharLeft(true,1);
document.selection.CharLeft(true,1);
document.selection.CharLeft(true,1);
if (document.selection.Text == " ")
{
document.selection.Delete(1);
}
else
{
document.selection.CharRight(false,1);
document.selection.DeleteLeft(1);
}
assign “backspace” to this macro in Python configuration will do what you want.
note this macro works only when a tab means 4 spaces. If not, you can change this macro accordingly.
P.S. It works a little slow, so i think a plug-in should be a better choose.Hi,
I write a simple macro for this purposedo c u m e n t . w r i t e ( " " " " ) ;
s h e l l . S e n d K e y s ( " { L E F T } " ) ;assign this macro to the key “{SHIFT}+'”.
In this way, if you enter “””, you will get “”””, with cursor between ” and “.
Downside is a macro runs slower than a plug-in, and when recording macros, running this macro will stop the recording.Hi,
I love EmEditor, and I do think it’s the best text editor so far. And I’m happy to see EmEditor wins this speed test.
However, in my own experience, Notepad launchs much faster than EmEditor, especially when you have heavy tasks running in background. For example, try launch both EmEditor and Notepad when the system is copying large files.Also, I agree Emeditor’s large file support is awesome, but it can’t really beat Ultraedit in this aspect. U is disk base,which means it opens any file in seconds. It uses a lot of time to open large file because it tries to make a copy of the original file to protect that file. And this protection can be turned off.
Anyway, I enjoy using Emeditor, because of it combines function and speed so well,extremely customizable, under a clean interface.
Your customer service is also the best in the world BTW:-DYes, the lastest RC4 works. Beautifully done!
Just one more question: why “blank” works but regex “^n” doesn’t? IMHO they should be the same.Replace All including new lines or regular expressions optimized (became much faster!).
That was quite amazing! The best editor keep getting better.
I just watched the “Grab Text” feature video. This is a real time-saver I must say! However, when I tried to use it, nothing happened when I press “crtl+alt+x”, also I can’t find this “Grab Text” command in both “tools”-“All Command” and “Keyboard map”. Is there anything that I missd?
Using EmEditor Professional 8.00 beta 9A few items that can be added to the EmEditor’s future version:
1. An undo tree:
type “abc”, del “c”, type “b”,then you get “abb”. Undo once will get “ab”, again to get “abc”. But an undo tree will allows you to choose either return to “abc” or to “a”. This would be helpful in some special circumstances IMHO.2. display special characters when they are highlighted.
display special characters when they are highlighted, even if they are not set to be displayed. This could be an option. It would help if you want to test regular expressions. Emeditor’s find now only highlight all text characters, would be better if “n”, “t”s also highlighted (all of them highlighted, not one only once) with their symbols also displayed.Box Select issue:
http://www.live-share.com/files/355464/bug.swf.htmlA small bug:
If the lines contain some double-byte characters and line length is different, use box selection to edit the end of these lines:【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【
【【【【
【【
【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【
【【Now I want to append “//” to these lines, you may find the “//”s don’t appear to be at one column.
Do you have any plan to make the snippet plug-in more powerful (like TextMate’s bundle system):
Type
for[TAB]
get:
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < count; i ++)
{
^
}The first Tab stays on “unsigned int”, a second Tab stays on “i”, if you change “i” to “idx”, then the following “i”s changes to “idx” too. A third Tab go to “count”, a fourth tab let the cursor goes to “^”‘s position and close snippet mode therefore you can insert Tab normally.
I just tested TextMate on my friend’s computer and this so-called “bundle” is quite amazing.
Thanks for your reply.
Please check the strings below:Button2, -773844987="Show popup menu, "Browser Bookmarks Menu", , , "Panel Bookmarks""
I use Emeditor the edit Opera’s ini files.
When you check Single Quotation Marks and Double Quotation Marks , Emeditor highlighted the strings in this style:Button2, -773844987="Show popup menu, "Browser Bookmarks Menu", , , "Panel Bookmarks""
However, the correct style should be:
Button2, -773844987="Show popup menu, "Browser Bookmarks Menu", , , "Panel Bookmarks""
Besides that, Quotation Marks can’t indicate the last quote pairs the first quote. So in my opinion, Quotes Matching in the same way of Parentheses/Brackets Matching would be useful.
I am useing 7.5 alpha 9, however the previous version alpha 8 has the same issue in my computer. Do these macros need any runtimes that is not installed on my computer?
I think you are right.
Alpha 9 can’t edit “Null Column”.
In fact, you can select “Null Column”, but after selection, you can’t input anything. While Alpha 8 can.
