Editplus what's new

Source: http://www.editplus.com/new.html

Version 3.30 (2011-04-19)

<Features>
* Supports tsvn commands ('file'-> 'tsvn ').

Supports tsvn commands (File> tsvn ).To use these functions, you must have installed tortoisesvn in advance. Now, you can directly call the tortoisesvn client in editplus to update, submit, compare, and perform other operations. You can add a command to the toolbar or assign a shortcut key. It may be more convenient if it can be integrated into the context menu in the future. The sub-commands are as follows:

Tsvn → Update (update): Execute the svn update command on the current active file. Tsvn → commit (submit): Execute the svn commit command on the current active file. Tsvn → diff (difference): Execute the svn diff command on the current active file and the previous version (official help description ). The official description seems to be incorrect. The test found that the current file (working copy) and basic work version are actually compared. Tsvn → checkout (check out): Execute the svn checkout command on the current directory. "Current directory" is the selected directory in "editplus" Directory window. Tsvn → update Dir (update directory): Execute the svn update command on the directory where the current active file is located. If no file is opened, use the currently selected directory in the "Directory window. Tsvn → commit Dir (submit directory): Execute the svn commit command on the directory where the current active file is located. If no file is opened, use the currently selected directory in the "Directory window. Tsvn → compare files (compare files) This command will display the list of opened file windows for you to select two files for comparison. * Supports 'use pageant' option for SFTP.
* Supports menu bitmaps on Vista/7.
* Highlights all occurrences of selected word ('view'-> 'word highlighting ').Highlight all the positions of selected words (View> word highlight ).With this feature enabled, it is easier to view the location where variables or words of the same name appear. Perhaps because of the limitations of Word boundary recognition technology, it is not very useful for Chinese words that lack obvious separators. However, it is often used to assist in editing program code. * 'Copy on mouse release' option ('edit'-> 'clipboard ').Automatically copy when dragging the mouse (Edit> clipboard ).If you want editplus to automatically copy the selected content to the clipboard after each selection of text, enable this option. In general, it is useless, but it will break the original content of the clipboard, which may cause trouble. * Hex Viewer supports 'show non-ASCII letters 'option.The hexadecimal viewer now supports the "show non-ASCII characters" option.Currently, only non-ASCII characters can be displayed in a single-byte encoding mode. Chinese characters cannot be displayed. * 'Run php.exe on PHP files in browser preview' option ('preferences '-> 'tools ').When you preview the PHP file in the browser, run php.exe on the PHP file.It is not explicitly mentioned in the official note, but it is necessary to install PHP in advance to ensure the normal operation of this function. Simple PHP program preview can be implemented, but complicated programs won't work. If you want to have a better PHP instant editing and preview function, we recommend that you install a complete Web server and configure the server in editplus to achieve better results.
* 'Preferences '-> 'print' dialog box supports 'hide line numbers' option.
* 'Min. line number digits 'option ('preferences'-> 'layout ')."Minimum number of lines" option (preference> layout ).Used to set the minimum column width displayed by the row number. This setting is not to fill the front zero of a line number with insufficient words, but to fill the space with the right alignment. After modification, the file that has already been opened will not be able to see the effect. However, after editing the file, the number of lines will change, and the new effect will be displayed. * Internal browser supports IE8/ie9.
* Internal browser supports displaying the Information bar.
* Internal browser now opens new window as a tab.
* ComboBox 'Auto append' option ('preferences '-> 'General ').The "Auto-Add" option of the combo box (preference> overall ).Select auto append (auto-completion). When entering characters, the combo box selects a character after auto-completion based on the input history. Select auto suggest (auto suggestion). When a character is entered, the combo box displays the input suggestion in the drop-down box based on the input history. * Supports $ (curlinetext) argument macro for passing current line to user tool.The user tool supports the "$ (curlinetext)" parameter macro to pass the current line text of the cursor.* Find in files displays current file name on the status bar.
* 'Html color' command on the popup menu.The "HTML color" command in the pop-up menu.When editing HTML, CSS, and other file types, click the secondary key in the color code (similar to #000000). The pop-up menu contains the "HTML color" command, you can call the color dialog box to easily select and modify or view the color. * 'Copy name' command on the document selector popup menu.The copy name command in the pop-up menu of the document selector.You can copy the path of the current file to the clipboard.
* Updated toolbar buttons.
* Allows double click on the change file format dialog box.

Version 3.21)

<Feature>
* 'Use tr1 regular expression' option ('preferences '-> 'General ').

Option "use tr1 regular expression" (preference> General ).

Enable this option to replace the classic editplus regular expression with the c ++ tr1 Regular Expression Library. Tr1 regular expressions are compatible with ecmascript and support more powerful functions, but they are slower than classic functions.

In earlier versions, the editplus Regular Expression search function only supports a small number of pattern matching syntaxes.

For example, you cannot use "/D" to represent numbers. Instead, you must use a mode similar to "0-9.

After tr1 is enabled in the new version, it will be compatible with the syntax of ecmascript regular expressions, so the mode that JS can use and editplus should be available.

However, the test shows that the new functions are inferior to those of eclipse. For example, backward references within the mode are not supported, while eclipse can use "(.)/1" to match two consecutive identical characters.

Although the official saying that tr1 should be "slower", it should not be felt, and a stronger pattern syntax can also improve thinking efficiency. We recommend that you enable it.

* Customizable toolbar icon for user tools.

The user tool can customize the button icon.

Although the functions of user tools are powerful, the consistent icons always make people feel weak. Now you can change them into eye-catching and personalized icons.
