New features in this version:
Alternative Font
An alternative font is a second font you can switch to, e.g. if you want to display the text using a fixed or proportional font.
* Set an alternative font for all file types in options.
* Select an alternative font in the view menu.
* Switch between fonts in view menu (or using keyboard shortcut).
TODO list
Added a TODO list to the code explorer tab. It will find comments like
// TODO
// NOTE
You have to use a line comment, there must be a space after the comment mark and the letters must be capitalized.
Search result context menu
Added a context menu in the search result view. It contains items to:
Load from file... (load a previously saved file)
Save to file... (save the result to an XML file)
Export to text file... (save the results to a plain text file)
Clear (clear the view)
Replace All Undo/Redo
Rewrote the functions to use much less memory. If you use replace all repeatedly, you may end up with a very large undo buffer in previous versions.
The difference with this new code is huge.
Select/Delete functions
Added several new select and delete functions.
Select:
- Sentence
- to begin of sentence
- to end of sentence
Delete:
- Sentence
- to begin of sentence
- to end of sentence
Also fixed select/delete to begin/end of line when using word wrap.
Nested comments
Fixed some issues with nested comments and made sure you can use comment identifiers that contain a line comment identifier.
E.g.
LineComment = '
CommentStart = '*
CommentEnd = *'
Auto Complete and Tag Complete Variables
You can now define variables when creating completion items in a syntax file.
E.g.
In the syntax editor we can add the following items to the auto complete section:
@myVar1
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
@myVar2
- Item 1
- Item 2
MyClass1
- @myVar1
- @myVar2
- Item 6
- Item 7
Spell check dialog
Tags are now ignored when using the spell check dialog. attributes in XML tags are still checked.
---
* Fixed several minor issues. Still have a few to fix though.
* Also need to add some stuff to the help file.
I'll release a beta version maybe next weekend (March 6). |

It may sound strange, but I was struck with the same idea for collecting ad hoc comments from project files a couple of days ago; I was toying with the idea before I was going to let you know, but you were quicker! The main difference is that I use # comments in PHP for such notes (# comments should be avoided and that's precisely the reason I use them: they are meant to be only temporary.)
I think TODO and NOTE are good choices, TODO for things to be done, NOTE for e.g. questions and ideas to reflect upon. How about adding some form of grading the importance? E.g.
TODO 2
TODO,2
TODO!2
...or else?
TODO!2 would be more important than TODO!1 (and up to 9), TODO!1 would be more important than TODO. What do you think? (I'm not sure that's the best idea, I am just thinking aloud.)
I'm thrilled to see it in action. Many thanks for your outstanding work! |

There's a Polish proverb, saying "Such a man, who would please everybody, hasn't been born yet" Well, let me ask for a feature "Delete to end of Screenline" (as described in this thread), which I don't regard as a bug. To the contrary, I used it in previous versions and was very content with it; it changed its behavior and I can read that for a reason, but... the way it worked previously allowed me for better control of selecting text -- hence my request. |
