Download RJ TextEd 10.60

Version 10.60 of RJ TextEd has been released. This free Swedish-made text editor has several features, which are especially interesting for software and web developers, such as syntax highlighting, autocompletion, extensive selection and sorting options and an embedded (s)ftp client. The program is being developed for Windows, but can also be used under Linux via Wine. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Color hint under mouse cursor
To display a color hint move the mouse cursor over a color value in the text and wait a second. The hint is displayed until you move the mouse. The hint display the color in a colored rectangle together with several color values ​​in different formats.
The first value is an RGB() value. Next is a web color value eg #F2A723 and last a decimal value.

word wrap
It is now possible to word wrap at the window edge, right margin or a specified column. When using fonts like “Arial” the column# value means characters. Eg if you specify column 120 – the text will wrap at character 120.
Hard wrap by inserting line breaks is available for both wrap at right margin and wrap at column.
I also added an option to wrap at the absolute margin. This option allow the text to be wrapped at the exact specified value, instead of at an natural break point. Eg if you set word wrap at column 80, the text will wrap after 80 characters. Even if that happens to be in the middle of a word.

Reform Paragraphs
Added two new items in the format menu to format paragraphs.
Reformat paragraph (indent first line)
Reformat paragraph (indent following lines)

Text Clips
Added a drop down menu to the text clips panel with some new functions.

Import text clips…
Read an XML file with clips, display a tree to let you select which text clips to import. You can either import to an “Imported” tree node or to the currently selected node.

Export text clips…
Opens a tree to let you select the text clips you want to export to an XML file.

New variables
Added new variables that can be used in text clips to open:

• a color dialog @c
• a font dialog @fn
• a file dialog @fi[<initial dir>]
• a folder dialog @fo[<default dir>]

Restore text clips from backup…
It’s a simple implementation where the text clips are saved to a backup file the first time you make a change to a text clip in a session. The backup file is then not updated until the next time you run the program and make a change in your text clips.
If something should happen to the clips, eg while importing from a file or due to a nasty program/system crash, chances are you may be able to restore most of the clips by using this function.

Sync edit mode
Made some changes to the sync edit mode.

Insert any character:
You can now insert any characters to the edited string(s). Even symbols.

Select string and edit all identical strings:
Normally the editor identifies identical words under the text cursor. But now you can select any string, containing any characters, and edit all identical strings at the same time. First select a string as normal. Press the left or right arrow key to clear the selection. All identical strings are now marked and can be edited.

Script undo/redo
Document.BeginUndo … Document.EndUndo will only add one item to the undo/redo buffer in this version. You can see this item in the undo/redo history window including the script name.
Undo/Redo of a script action using BeginUndo/EndUndo is a bit faster as well.

Code Explorer
Function and method tracking should now be able to switch class automatically in the code explorer. Eg if the text cursor is inside a method in class A and you move the cursor to a method in class B – class B will be selected in the code explorer and the current method highlighted.

Store unmodified documents in a temp folder
Unmodified open files are now saved in regular intervals to a temp folder. If the program crash or exit expectingly the program should open the last saved version when restarted.
Note that this file may be a few minutes old and may therefor not hold all your latest changes.
The editor will still try to save everything to a temp folder if the program crash, but sometimes that doesn’t work.

Backup extension (.bak)
Added an option to add a backup extension (.bak) to all backup copies.

Navigation history
Changed when navigation points are saved. The different points in the same document has to be at least one page apart (can be changed in options). A new point may be saved when you left mouse click in the document or move the text cursor left or right.

Document tab mouse wheel scroll
You can now scroll through the document tabs using the mouse wheel. The wheel scroll is activated when the left/right scroll arrow buttons are visible.
