Download RJ TextEd 15.80

Version 15.80 of RJ TextEd has been released. This free Swedish-made text editor has various options that are especially interesting for software and web developers, such as syntax highlighting, autocompletion, extensive selection and sorting options and a built-in (s)ftp client. The program is being developed for Windows, but can also be used under Linux via Wine. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Color nested braces

Braces are drawn using different color depending on nesting level. Eg in (10-(a+2)) the first matching (…) pair may be drawn using an orange color while the inner (a+2) pair are drawn using a blue color. This can be turned off in “Environment->Themes->Customize…”. Find the checkbox on the “Symbols” row. This change affects all (), [] and {} brace pairs.

Highlight nearest braces

Added option to highlight the nearest braces that encloses the text cursor. Braces highlighted are (), [] and {}. The editor will always try to find the nearest left and right braces, from the text cursor, and highlight them. It’s turned on by default, but can be turned off in options.

Highlight identifiers under cursor inside method

Added option to highlight the current word or identifier under the text cursor, for all instances of the word inside the current method. It’s turned on by default, but can be turned off in options.

JavaScript

(JSDoc) Made several changes to the highlighter and added support for JSDoc comments. All JSDoc tags are highlighted eg @param {string} value, but also any other tag used. Eg @dummy is highlighted.

PHP

(DocBlocks) Made some changes to the highlighter and added support for DocBlocks. All DocBlock tags are highlighted and checked strictly. No other tags are highlighted. Eg @dummy is not highlighted.

PowerShell

Made several changes to the highlighter.

Cpp

(Doxygen) Made some changes to the highlighter and added support for Document commands (Doxygen). All doc commands are highlighted and checked strictly. No other commands are highlighted. Eg @dummy is not highlighted.

Goto

(Ctrl+G) Selected word, or word under cursor is now added to the “Functions” find field. This makes it easier and faster to navigate to a function in the code. Just place the cursor at a function name, press Ctrl+G, select the function in the list, if not already selected and press enter.

Fix commonly reported bugs

In this version I tried to fix two common issues. Highlight issues after some editing and exceptions after closing the program. I found a lot of highlighting issues while scanning the code. They should all be fixed now. I also fixed several close down issues. Mostly in third party components.

Options

The default highlighter in “Highlight and margin” and “Font and tabs” are now set to “All languages”. If you want to set individual settings for eg PHP – select PHP in the highlighters dropdown list.

Check for updates

Made some option changes. You can now auto check for:

• major version updates
• minor version updates
• beta version updates

This allows you to eg skip all minor updates and only install major updates.

Install update

Changed the way the program is closed down when updating the program. The close procedure is now similar to the normal exit procedure and should prevent some issues, reported by some users.

If a help file is available, it will be used instead of the online help.
