PSPad from entry to Mastery (PSPad Inside)
-------------------------------
What do you mean, pspad?
A good editor, publicity is generally very bad. The same is true of PSPad. Basically can not find the expression about the meaning of PSPad, also very few people ask. A Chinese netizen guesses, may be programmer ' S Pad. If so, this usage is possible only in non-English speaking countries, and only in non-English-speaking countries. Of course, both the Czech Republic and China are non-English-speaking countries.
The author was Fiala by the Czechs.
Czech is located in Central Europe, see http://news.xinhuanet.com/ziliao/2002-06/19/content_447185.htm for details.
Why Choose PSPad?
--------------
(translated from http://www.pspad.com/en/pspad.htm.)
Answer the following questions:
* Do you need multiple programming locales?
* Do you like code syntax highlights?
* Do you need a powerful editor for simple and functional operation?
* Are you looking for a plain text editor?
* Do you want to save money and have a professional function editor?
If you have more than one "yes" in your answer, that PSPad is for you.

Features that are automatically completed
--------------
PSPad has some simple AutoComplete features, such as writing a bracket, which automatically makes the order not generally, which is common.
In addition to these, depending on the locale, we can also use code snippets (clip) functionality. The shortcut keys for displaying code snippets in the current context are CTRL + spaces. This is not very convenient, because the general Chinese and English switch is this key. You can turn this around (my settings are CTRL +.). With the menu Settings-> program Setting-> Key Map-> Show clip change.
Then open an HTML file, write Google1, Ctrl +., and see what happens. Open a Java file, write try, Ctrl +., and see what happens.
You can also define clip yourself. The shortcut key is CTRL + ALT + space. First select the code block, and then press the shortcut key. Just fill it out with the hint. The new defined clip requires a reboot of the PSPad. It does not seem to provide an interface to delete clip. However, you can open the corresponding file (such as HTML requires settings-> Edit Clip defination file-> html), delete the new added on the line. Usually in the end.
That's a good one. The other one is done automatically. This needs to be defined by itself. Settings-> Spell settings, fill in key and value point Add. Need to restart PSPad for entry into force. This works for all kinds of semantics. One of the applications I think of is defining copyright.
Character Set conversion
----------
ASCII <--> EBCDIC
If a zos or iseries person sends you a EBCDIC file and you don't have a chance to log in to Zos to run E2A, or login to iseries execute touch-c 819, then you can use PSPad to help you complete the transformation:
Tools-> User convertors-> EBCDIC to ASCII (IBM mainframe)
Bookmark
----
Bookmarks are very useful and therefore have to be mentioned. Set Bookmark: Ctrl + Shift + 0-9 digits. To bookmark: Ctrl + Shift + 0-9 digits.
One problem is that it can only have up to 10 bookmarks. More than 10 bookmarks may be useful, but for me, it's basically not memory which is which. Lost the meaning of the label.
New labels with the same name will overwrite the old ones.
Keys for jumping between bookmarks:
ALT + up Previous bookmark
ALT + down Next bookmark
You can also set the bookmark with ALT + right and cancel with ALT + left. The bookmark number is the lowest available value.
File comparisons
--------
The file comparison function is simple. There are two kinds of comparisons:
* Current file and another file comparison (Tools-> text differrences-> text Diff with this file ...)
* The contents of the Buffer and the contents of the disk compare (Tools-> text differrences-> text Diff with File Contents on disk)
Add a Comment
--------
Some people like to use the UE block editing function to add comments. The approximate steps are as follows:
* Use block edit mode.
* Select column No. 0 plus a number of lines.
* If it is a batch script, insert Rem, if it is a shell script, insert #, if it is Java, insert//.
From the pspad point of view, the UE is not cool. PSPad has a special way to add annotations: Ctrl + Shift + A
Select the block you want to comment on, and then press CTRL + Shift + A. If previously commented, this action removes the annotation. Otherwise, add. Comments are added according to the type of file you edited. Like Shell Plus # and so on.
Column edits
------
There are three modes of choice: row (the line seen by the eye), line (the actual row, if not collapsed row row=line), col (column selection). Column editors should refer to the col mode.
There are two ways to do mode switching:
* Edit-> Selection Type-> ...
* Use the icon of the status bar below the mouse point. The following figure lists the icons:
