To close a tab type "exit".

Improved speed in the command prompt tab for large outputs like from the "dir" command. (Unfortunately, that doesn't work with the PowerShell tab.)

Version 15.10

28 aug, 2021

Terminal panel

Added a new panel which works as a terminal window. It uses Cmd.exe in the background and should have most of the functions a real command prompt window has, and more.

The panel toolbar allows you to:

  • Enter a path manually in the combo box and move to it.
  • Select a favorite folder in drop down list and move to it.
  • Save current terminal directory as favorite.
  • Change terminal directory to the current document folder.
  • Open a folder selection window and change directory to it.
  • Change font (and background color if you're not using a theme).
  • Restart the terminal (restart cmd.exe).
  • Keyboard action to start an external terminal window. Set shortcut in customize keyboard.
  • Keyboard action to open/hide or show/close terminal panel. If the panel is auto hidden (minimized) the action will open/hide the panel. Otherwise it's closed or shown.
Note!

The panel use a standard windows edit control and only communicate with an open (hidden) command prompt window using standard input/output. There may be commands that doesn't work properly, like "more" (it displays all of the text at once, but you don't have the space bar control to switch page). Some special keys may work differently (since it's an edit control).

Some features I had to add to the panel myself:

  • Command history (up/down arrow). It should work the same as in a real command prompt window. The command history is saved between sessions.
  • Auto completion (tab). Should work the same as in a real command prompt window.
  • Ctrl+C. Should work the same as in a real command prompt. If it doesn't work use the restart terminal button instead.

Terminal - PHP interactive shell (php -a)

This should work fairly well, but it will never work perfectly over standard input/output.
Up/Down arrows can be used for history and use "exit", or hit Ctrl+Z to exit the php interactive shell.

Terminal - Python interpreter mode (python or python -i)

This should work fairly well, but it will never work perfectly over standard input/output.
Up/Down arrows can be used for history and use "exit()", or hit Ctrl+Z to exit the python interactive mode. The help utility is supported as well and should work normally.

Language server templates

Templates make adding language servers much easier. Once you've added a language server as a template you never have to add the server settings again.

Several server templates have been added already for you to use. And you can easily change or add one yourself.

Open LSP templates located in the environment menu to modify or add templates.

You can add a language server as a template from project/sites settings if you've already added a server.

Some environment variables can be used in paths:

%appdata% = \AppData\Roaming %localappdata% = \AppData\Local %programfiles% = c:\Program files %homepath% = c:\Users\

Text clips panel

Changed the Keyboard action to open/hide or show/close terminal panel. If the panel is auto hidden (minimized) the action will open/hide the panel. Otherwise it's closed or shown.

  • Return key should now insert selected item and close/expand folders.
  • Select color issue fixed with themes.

Misc

  • Added a new command-line switch /NOREOPEN. It allows you to open the editor without reopen the last open files. The next time you open the editor without this option - the old last open files are reopened.
  • A few issues on high dpi monitors.

Fixed

  • A few reported issues from users.

  • Window title issue when closing project.

Version 15.0

16 July, 2021

HTML Preview

I've removed the previous chromium component/libraries and added support for Microsoft WebView2 (Microsoft Edge component) instead.

WebView2 is already installed on most Windows 10 systems and is built into Windows 11. The installer will check and ask the user to install WebView2 if needed (e.g. on Windows 7).

This means I don't have to distribute large libraries in the installations anymore. The WebView2 component is also much easier to use. The old one had some strange behaviors (you can actually see the difference in the task manager).

Chrome and Microsoft Edge use the same code base, so there is no difference in the displayed content.

The Edge preview tab has a new button for "IE Mode". You can use it to display the content in a Internet Explorer view.

The Internet Explorer tab has been removed. You can use the Edge preview tab and press the toolbar button "IE Mode".

Code completion

Made some changes to the code completion. It should work better now and behave more as in other code editors.

Hover hint (LSP Client)

Created a new hover hint when using a language server. The hint can now display:

  • Code information presented by the server
  • Diagnostic errors, warnings, information or hints
  • Links. These can be code actions, goto definition, show references, rename identifier...

Highlight References (LSP Client)

Highlight all references in the current document for the item found under the mouse cursor. This is similar to the find references feature, but the referenced identifier is highlighted and not added to a list.

Highlight references can be found in the hover hint and right click context menu.

In the context menu two items have been added:

  • Highlight references
  • Clear highlights

Code Actions (LSP Client)

Code actions can be found in the hover hint and right click context menu.

Code actions in the context menu include all available code actions presented by the language server.

Code actions in the hover hint only include quick fixes.

Check for update

Minor updates and beta version are downloaded and installed as before. But for major version the only option is to open the download site in your browser and download it manually. This was done to make the XP/Vista version consistent with the Windows 10/11 version and it also fix a few problems.

It also allows the user to download and install the new version when they are ready...

Misc

  • Shift-DblClick can be used instead of Alt-DblClick if you have trouble with column mode is being activated.

Fixed

  • LSP functions didn't work properly in word wrap mode.
  • Change case in column mode.
  • Font size issue in search result panel.
  • Fixed a few reported issues.

Version 14.90.4

Find References (View-Panels-LSP Client)

This is a language server feature that will list all references to the item under the text cursor. It can be a variable, function, object ...

Menu item is found in the right click context menu (Find - Find References).

The references tree lists file and references found in that file. Double click on an item to select it in the document.

Document Symbols (View-Panels-LSP Client)

This is a language server feature. You can use the panel to display a hierarchical tree view of all classes, methods, properties etc. in a file or open document.

  • SPACE Select focused item in the tree view, but keep focus on the tree view.
  • ENTER Select focused item in the tree view and change focus to the editor.

Diagnostics (View-Panels-LSP Client)

Another language server feature.

The tree view will display diagnostic errors, warnings, hint and information found in any of the open documents.

Diagnostics are also displayed in the code explorer, but only for the currently active document. The diagnostics panel display information from all open documents.

Rename symbol

This is another language server feature.

The menu item can be found in the right click context menu. Use it to rename a class, object, method, field variable or any other symbol under the cursor. The renaming is project wide, so all instances of the symbol will be renamed (even if the file isn't open).

Format document

Another language server feature to format a selection, or the whole current document. The menu item is available in the right click context menu. A prompt asking for options is displayed when selecting the menu item.

Preview Commands

Available in the HTML menu. Allows you to assign a file extension to a command used when previewing a file. The command can e.g. convert the current document to a HTML file and allow you to preview the converted file.

Ex. Command: showdown Argument: makehtml -i "%s" -o "%d" "%s" = current document "%d" = converted HTML file used for preview

This is used in all previews, e.g. live preview, internal browsers, browser tabs...

12 may, 2021

Language server (LSP) support

It's now possible to use language servers with projects and sites.

The language server will scan your project files (or site) and provide completion, mouse hover information, parameter hints and diagnostics (errors, warnings, information, hints). And if the server supports it, find definition/type definition/declaration/implementation.

You need to install the language server yourself. And when done, you can add it to your project or site. The forum has a thread containing information on how to install different language servers and how to add them to your project or site.

You can add several language servers to each project or site.

The editor support stdio and tcp socket communication, so it should work with most language servers.

Version 14.60

02 Aug, 2020

Chrome Preview

Updated component and libraries to version 83.0.4103.

FTP (sites)

Made some extensive changes to the download/upload threads. They should display a more meaningful progress dialog window, be much faster and handle hidden files and folders.

All FTP operations should handle hidden files and folders properly now. That includes the sites panel and synchronizations.

Code folding and syntax files

Made a complete re-write of the code folding feature. It is now (mostly) indention based. Which means you don't have to add anything to the syntax files for the folding to work.

If you need to tweak it a bit and add items to the code explorer - you still need to add some data in the syntax files.

Line comments spanning more than 3 lines are now fold-able as well as normal block comments.

Indention based folding can be turned off in the syntax file (fold options section). This can be useful when you only want a few elements to be foldable and you want to use a specific start and end.

It is also possible to turn off folding of line comment blocks.

All syntax files have been updated.

Fixed several issues with the code explorer.

Code folding options

Added new options to reduce the number of folds displayed.

  • Only display necessary folds like for classes and methods... Use this to hide some folds like if statements and loops.
  • Ignore folds spanning less than x lines. Default is 5. Important folds like classes and methods are always displayed. But other smaller folds are ignored if they span less than the specified number of lines.
Both options can be very helpful if you find the left margin cluttered with fold icons. They can both greatly reduce the number of folds and fold icons displayed.

Code fold icons

Added a few smaller versions of existing fold icons. You can select them in the theme manager.

High DPI and themes

Fixed several theme issues on high DPI screens and when moving between monitors.

Most themes (vcl styles) have been updated to newer versions which include high resolution bitmaps for use on high DPI monitors.

Code hints

Added code hints. Hover the mouse over a tag, CSS property, method or function name to display information about it. In HTML hints are displayed for both tags and attributes. The hint may contain a description, return value, parameters and example code.

A code hint is also displayed when an item is selected in auto completion list box.

For this to work the [Hints] section in the syntax file must contain the function i question.

Updated syntax files are: Cpp, python, css, less, sass, HTML, JavaScript, PHP.

Image hints

Image hints are displayed when you hover the mouse over an image link. The hint will display a miniature of the image.

You can turn this off this hint in options.

Made some changes and fixed a few issues. Both SSL explicit and SSL implicit connections should work better now.

If the server certificate isn't deemed valid during the validation process, a window is opened containing information about the certificate - allowing the user to examine the certificate and except or abort the connection. If the user accept the certificate - the decision is remembered and the certificate window is not presented again.

FTP profiles

Made some minor visual changes in dialog windows.

Document Views

Changed the document view layout. Views are now aligned in a maximum of three columns. Each column can have two views (top and bottom).

It may seem similar to how it worked before and most users may not see any difference. But some layouts are now possible, that wasn't previously. The document view drop down selector should be more intuitive to use as well.

File open dialog window

Added a new option to add opened files to the most recently used list (MRU).

This is, of course, the standard behavior. But the option allows you to open files without adding them to the MRU list.

Emmet

Added support for markdown files. Supported abbreviations are:

a = link b = bold bq = blockquote code = inline code snippet h1..h6 = heading. E.g. h2 = ## Heading 2 hr = horizontal rule i = italic img = image ol = ordered list pre = code block with language based highlighting strike = strike through table = table ul = unordered list @l or @l80 = create lorem generated text

Version 14.30

19 jan, 2020

Chrome Preview

Updated component and libraries to version 78.0.3904.

Remote files (S)FTP

Added menu items to upload current document to a remote server.

You can still save to a remote server.

The difference between upload and save is that if you upload to a remote server - the document is still saved to a local folder. But if you save to a remote folder - the document is then always saved to that remote location.

The option "Save to remote location" should now always allow the document to be saved to it's last saved location. E.g. if you save to a remote server - the document is always saved to the remote location.

Sites panel

Added a new panel to handle web sites. Create a new site by adding a name for the site, add local, remote server and test server locations. The remote and test server locations is selected using a remote folder dialog window. This allows you to select the (S)FTP profile to use with the site. New sites are listed in the drop down menu.

Local site

This is were you store the site on local disk for editing.

Test site

You can use a test server for testing your site before publishing it.

Remote site

This is where you publish your web site.

Active Remote site

On the toolbar buttons you can see a yellow dot marking the active remote site. All transfers will commends between the local and active site. E.g. if the test server site is active - all uploads, downloads, synchronize operations etc. is done between the local site and the test server site.

Site panel toolbar

Open an existing site from the drop down menu. From the site panel you can upload, download files and folders. Or you can synchronize local and remote folders. The synchronize feature will either synchronize the entire web site, except folders you have excluded in the synchronize dialog window, or synchronize the files and folders you have selected.

Context menu

The context menus contain menu items to cut, copy and paste selected files and folders. You can copy and move files between the local folder and any remote location. Or you can copy and move files between locations on the local or remote site.

Duplicate allows you to duplicate selected files and folders. Rename allows you to rename any file or folder. Delete allows you to delete selected files and folders. Permissions allows you to change remote file and folder permissions.

Open in browser will open the selected local or remote file in an web browser. For this to work with remote files - make sure you add a web path in the site settings.

File commander (upload, download and sync)

File date and time information is now stored inside XML files. It's now possible to use the same local web site and sync it to several remote locations. This is useful if you have the same site under different domains. E.g. www.dummy.com, www.dummy.org, www.dummy.eu ...

You can choose if you want to synchronize the currently opened folders or synchronize selected files and folders.

Made several optimizations. All operations should be much faster now.

Fixed several issues found when writing the new code and when testing.

Site and file commander sync dialog window

Redesigned the dialog window and fixed a few issues. Added a new option to only synchronize selected files and folders.

Enclose toolbar dropdown menu

Added a new toolbar button to the main toolbar that opens a dropdown menu for enclosing selected text. The dropdown menu contain many different quote types and braces.

The same toolbar button is available in the user toolbar.

Misc

Version 14.20

8 Oct, 2019

Chrome Preview

Updated component and libraries to version 76.0.3809.

SFTP

Updated the SFTP component to the latest version.

Fixed several issues.

Remote files

Added options (default actions) in "Options - File - Remote files" to set the default action when saving remote files. The options are:

Save to local location

Use this option if you want to save both local and remote files to a local disk. In this working mode you can edit remote files and store them locally until they are ready to be uploaded. You can use the menu items in "File -> FTP" to upload the files. You can also use the file commander.

Save to remote location

Local files are always saved locally. Remote files are saved (uploaded) to the server. This is the default behavior.

  • If you create a new document and upload it to a server - the file will always be saved to the server.
  • If you open a remote file and save - it will always be saved to the server.
  • If you create a new document and first save it locally and then upload it - it is considered a local file and always saved to disk.
  • If you open a local file and upload it to the server - the file is still considered local and always saved to disk.
Save to both local and remote location

Pure local files are always saved locally. But if a file has been uploaded to a server - it will always be saved to both the local disk and uploaded to the server. It doesn't matter if the file was opened from disk or the server.

  • If you create a new document and upload it to a server - the file will always be saved to both disk and server. If a local path doesn't exists - a file save dialog window is opened.
  • If you open a remote file and save - the file is always saved to both disk and server. A save file dialog window is displayed if needed.
  • If you open a local file, that has previously been saved to a server - it will always be saved to both disk and server.
Ask me once for every new (or opened) document

With this option set you are prompted for an action when you hit save. The actions are the same as in options above. The action is remembered as long as the document is open.

Made several changes to improve the user experience when using the different options. Document tab hint now display both local and remote paths.

Search (All open files)

Find and replace can now be used on all open files. Find or replace start at the current cursor position and circle through all open document tabs.

To use it just set the search scope to "All open files".

Added two new options (Options - Search):

  • Limit find/replace search scope to current document view
  • Limit find/replace all search scope to current document view

Highlight Expressions

Added expressions are now stored between sessions. A checkbox is used to activate an expression to highlight, for the current file.

Active highlighted expressions are now stored between sessions for each file. You can activate/deactivate this in options, with other file options like store wordwrap state, encryption, code fold state etc.

Document tabs

Added an option to change the tab position. You can set the tab position to the top, or to the bottom of the document window.

Tools

Added a new type to send POST requests. It is used to post the current document or a selection to a web address and open the returned text in a new document tab.

I also added two new presets. One will add the following:

Title: 'JavaScript Minifier' Type: 'Send POST request to URL' Command: 'https://javascript-minifier.com/raw' Argument: 'input=[CurrentDocument]'

Misc

  • Several speed improvements and optimizations.
  • If save fails you are asked if you wish to restart the program in administrator mode.

You can set individual options for each expression, like

  • Case sensitive
  • Match whole words
  • Regular expression

You can also set individual text and background color for each expression.

Hint on auto hidden panels

Added hints to auto hidden panels with no caption (only the image is visible).

Fixed

  • Minor search bar issues.

Fixed a few issues and improved performance.

Fixed

  • Issue with minimize if all documents are closed and dual document view.
  • Hex view replace all issues.
  • Several issues (exception errors) reported by users.

Version 14.10

3 Aug, 2019

Document views

It is now possible to open up to six document views. They can be opened on two rows and each row can contain one, two or three views. Each row is independent so you can have two document views at the top row, and three at the bottom.

Document views can be handled using a toolbar button, or from the "Window" menu.

Everything should work as in dual document view. Drag n drop, text compare, sync scrolling, close and move tabs ...

Emmet filters

Emmet abbreviations can now handle filters. A filter is added at the end of the abbreviation using a pipe |.

E.g. ul>li*|t

Available filters are: c - Comment important tags (containing class or id attributes). e - Escape XML-unsafe characters: <, > and &. E.g. <p>{#1}e => <p></p> s - Single line. Expand everything to a single line of code. t - Trim line markers from wrapped lines e.g. * or 1. w - Wordwrap selected or lorem generated text. Default width is 80. w120 - Wordwrap at column 120. Ex. Abbreviation: ul>li*|t Selection: * Line 1 * Line 2 Result: <ul> <li>Line 1</li> <li>Line 2</li> </ul> The line markers * have been trimmed from the expanded code.

Emmet options

A config file is available from the Format->Abbreviations menu. The config file contain some option you can set for different highlighters.

Options available are: AddSlashToEmptyTags: Add a slash to empty tags e.g. <img src="" /> AlwaysAddNewLine: Always add linefeed after each tag (usually used in XML) CommentTags: Comment important tags (containing class or id attributes). IndentChilds: Indent child tags. If you set this to false - no indention will be used. SingleLine: Expand everything to a single line of code.

Delay opening file until tab is active

Added an option to delay the loading of a file until you click on the tab or activate the document tab in any other way. This makes opening files much faster.

Tabs with not yet opened files have there file name enclosed with **, so you can see which documents have yet to be opened. E.g. **My file**

The option is off by default in the final version.

Search bar

Redesigned the search bar and added a new toolbar for folder options. It's only visible when searching folders.

Version 13.90

13 May, 2019

I've written my own version of Emmet in Delphi (object pascal). It's not based on the Emmet JavaScript plugin code at all, so there are some minor differences and probably some things not implemented (yet).

The Delphi version is compiled to native machine code which makes it much much faster. And it enables me to add some new functionality. It also works on Windows XP.

Abbreviation auto completion list

Press ALT+ENTER to display all available abbreviations from the text clips panel, Emmet snippets and Emmet abbreviations in a list. The list will also display any favorites you may have added.

Press ENTER to select an abbreviation. It's inserted as is and not expanded. This allows you to combine abbreviations and snippets to create your own abbreviation. To expand the abbreviation - press SHIFT+ENTER.

If text is selected - the abbreviation will wrap the selected text.

E.g. if the lines below are selected: 1. First line. 2. Second line. and you select an abbreviation favorite like "ul>li*", the selection is replaced with <ul> <li>1. First line.</li> <li>2. Second line.</li> </ul> when you hit ENTER.

Abbreviation hint

Press SHIFT+CTRL+ENTER to show a hint displaying what the expanded code will look like. To expand the abbreviation you can just press ENTER (as long as the hint is visible). You can also use SHIFT+ENTER to expand the abbreviation.

Expand abbreviation at cursor

This function will now expand both user defined abbreviations in the text clip panel and Emmet abbreviations. Type an abbreviation in your document. E.g. "ul>li*5" in an HTML document or "for" in a PHP document. Press SHIFT+ENTER to expand the abbreviation.

If you set a key as a trigger - you can use that as well to expand the abbreviation. E.g. the TAB key.

Note that you can use SHIFT+CTRL+ENTER to preview the abbreviation before expanding it.

Expand abbreviation using input box

Added a hint that is displayed as you type the abbreviation, so you can preview the result.

Open as normal with CTRL+, and enter your abbreviation inside. A hint pops up showing the expanded code.

The hint is displayed when you wrap with abbreviations (SHIFT+CTRL+,) as well.

Abbreviation tab points

Move the text cursor to the next tab position using the TAB key.

A tab point can look something like this: {#1} or {#2: Document}.

If the tab point contain text e.g. {#2: Document} contain the text "Document", it will be selected when moving to the tab position.

Vendor prefix in abbreviations

In e.g. CSS you can start an abbreviation with a vendor prefix.

E.g. -moz-ac expands to -moz-align-content: ; -webkit-ac expands to -webkit-align-content: ; ac expands to align-content: ;

There are three macro prefixes you can use to expand into different properties with different vendor prefixes. -v-, -w- and -m-.

E.g. -v-ac -webkit-align-content: |; -moz-align-content: |; align-content: |; -w-ac -webkit-align-content: |; align-content: |; -m-ac -moz-align-content: |; align-content: |;

Note that | is a multi cursor position so you can edit all lines at the same time.

Abbreviation favorites

Favorites are display at the top of the abbreviation auto complete list (ALT+ENTER). Manage favorites in the abbreviation input box (CTRL+,).

Find and Replace options

Added two new options to skip strings or comments when finding a match. The options only affect documents that are already open. They are not available when searching e.g. a folder.

Fixed

  • Move line up/down in a detached editor window.
  • Decimal issue in convert panel.
  • Issue in regular expression creator.
  • Spell check issue.
  • Misc issues found while coding or reported by users.

GUI changes

Changes were made in options, search-bar, search window and addons.

Replace and preserve case

Added a new option to preserve case when doing a replace. The find string is used to find a string in your text, just as usual. The case of the found string is then used to create a replace string, were the replace string should have the same casing as the found string.

Ex. Find: "member_name" Replace with: "auth_fullname" Result member_name => auth_fullname Member_Name => Auth_Fullname MEMBER_NAME => AUTH_FULLNAME

Replace prompt or tool window

Added options to choose if you want a prompt dialog box, or a tool window to appear when executing replace using the modal search window.

Prompt dialog box

This dialog box is displayed every time a string is found to ask the user to replace the string, or not.

Tool window

The tool window remains open as long as strings are found, or the user closes the window. It contain buttons like [Find Next] [Replace] ... This is now the default window used when executing a replace.

Note than none of these options affect the search-bar behavior in any way.

Regular expressions

Changed the component and replaced regex functions throughout the program. The new component is using the open source PCRE library (v8.42).

Made some minor changes in the "Regular expression creator".

Multi edit and multi selection in overwrite mode

This was never implemented in earlier versions when adding multi editing and multi selection capabilities to the editor. But, now it's finally been added.

SFTP

Updated the SFTP component to the latest version.

Reopen remote files

The option to "Reopen last open documents at startup" - only reopen local files. I've added an sub-option to include remote files as well. It's turned off by default.

Version 13.50

Dec 2, 2018

Chrome Preview

Updated all files and components to version 70.0.3538.

GUI components

Updated several GUI components to the newest version.

Text clip and abbreviation synchronization

Added a synchronize sub-menu to the more menu on the text clips panel.

You can synchronize abbreviations and clips manually by selecting "Synchronize now...". This will sync files to the ones stored in a shared folder. How the local and remote data is updated depends on your settings.

Options are available in two sections. Manual and auto sync settings.

Manual synchronize may be safer to use in a large organization. Especially if more than one user is able to save to the shared folder. You should also be careful with the "Allow delete" option, since it may remove clips you just added.

If all users are allowed to save and everyone disable the settings to delete clips when syncing, nothing will be lost. Everyone is just adding to the shared clips. But that also means you may not be able to remove any clips. After the next sync - they will be added from the shared clips.

Auto synchronize will periodically read from the shared folder and sync your local clips based on your settings. If "Allow save" is enabled - all your clips are then saved to the shared folder.

Text clip panel

Added items are now properly sorted.

Fixed a few issues.

Open and save dialog windows

With newer versions of Windows 10 the light/dark Windows system themes now change the colors used in the open/save dialog windows. To fix some draw issues when using program themes in the editor - I had to make some changes to the style hooks used to retrieve system colors and draw theme elements.

Home tab

Made several design changes to make it easier to navigate using keyboard. I also added check boxes on the recent files tab.

The search on all tabs have been replaced by a fuzzy search. Fuzzy search will find all items with entered letters in correct order. Then order them depending on relevance. The most relevant items at top. Relevance is decided by factors like found string in the file name, most found letters in the file name or path, capitalization...

  • You can use left/right arrows to switch between recent list tabs.
  • You can use Ctrl+Space to select items and Ctrl+Up/Down to move without selecting.
  • You can select several items by clicking on the check boxes, using the mouse.
  • You can press the open button to open file(s), which may be easier when using a mouse.

Recent files list

Fussy search is now used to find and list items in order of relevance. If entered character is found in the file name - the items gets a higher priority. The same happens if a matching capital letter is found.

Project panel

You can now drag a document tab to the project tree to add the document to an open project.

The search field now use "fuzzy search". The match order, in the drop down list, is sorted by relevance.

Mouse click on a found search item should now open the file properly.

Scripts

Added two new properties to the "MainApp" object.

- ProjectName : string // Get project name without file extension - ProjectDefaultDir : string // Get default project source folder set in project options

Auto completion

Made some changes and changed several icons.

CSS/LESS/SASS

Made extensive changes and updated the syntax files.

Search Results (find and replace all)

Items are now selected by a single mouse click, instead of a double click. A click on a file now open and selects the first found or replaced item.

Syntax Editor

Added several new toolbar buttons and functions.

  • Drop down list to instantly change the icon of the selected items.
  • Two type of sorting: normal sort and sort by grouping items by its icon.
  • Cut, copy and paste. If you have several syntax files open at once - you can copy and paste between syntax files.

Added prompt when doing "replace all", to prevent accidental replace.
