Download RJ TextEd 12.0

Version 12 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:

High DPI awareness (per monitor DPI aware)
The application and tools should display properly on high DPI displays. The main program and all tools are per-monitor DPI aware so you can drag the program between monitors with different DPI.
Almost all visual components have been replaced and toolbar, menu and button images are now available in several sizes.

Replaced visual components
Replaced almost all visual components like tool bars, labels, check and radio boxes, spin controls and buttons.
Updated, and made changes to, list boxes and list views with check boxes and images.

Automatically enclose selection with braces and quotes
Added two new options to allow the enclosing of a selection with parenthesis and quotes, when pressing a left open bracket or quote.

• Automatically enclose selection with braces
  The option is enabled by default and allows you to enclose a selection with braces like (), [] or {}.
  Eg Select a text like “ABC” and press ‘(‘. The selection is now enclosed “(ABC)”.
• Automatically enclose selection with quotes
  The option is enabled by default and allows you to enclose a selection with quotes like “”, ” or “”.
  Eg Select a text like ‘ABC’ and press ‘”‘. The selection is now enclosed ‘”ABC”‘.

Select Braces and tags
Added a new function to select braces that includes the braces. The current function only select the text in between the braces.
I changed the behavior in HTML and XML documents.

The text cursor is anywhere between tags:

• “Select Brace Enclosed” will select everything between the tags.
• “Select Brace Enclosed (with braces)” will select the tags as well.

The text cursor is inside a tag:

• “Select Brace Enclosed” will select everything inside the tag.
• “Select Brace Enclosed (with braces)” will select “<" and ">” as well.

The function “Select Tag” will always select the entire start/end tag block.
Removed the functions to select tag text and tag blocks, since it’s already covered by the functions above.

Convert panel
Made some changes in the “Date/Time span calculator” and replaces the date and time pickers to make date and time selection easier.

Join lines (prompt for options)
Added a new menu item to prompt for options before joining lines.
Options available are:

• Don’t add spaces between lines
• Preserve paragraphs
• Remove leading white spaces

User toolbar (quick bar)
Redesigned the quickbar and renamed it “User Toolbar”. It only have two pages now. “Code” and “Script”.
The code toolbar is customizable so it’s possible to display more buttons or hide some unwanted ones.
All editor toolbar buttons are available in the user toolbar. They are hidden by default but if you wish, you can enable them (right click over toolbar and select customize) and close the editor toolbar.

Themes and editor colors
Added several new visual styles and a new style color file with editor colors that can be used with the “Onyx Blue” style.

Toolbar image lists
The editor load the appropriate image list based on the DPI of the current monitor from disk. The standard lists are available in five sizes: 16×16, 20×20, 24×24, 32×32 and 48×48.
It is possible to create your own image lists used in toolbars, menus and panels throughout the program. In the program folder there is a tool called “ImageListEditor.exe”, which I wrote for this purpose. You can add this as a tool to the “Tools” menu and start modify existing image lists or create new ones.
You can actually add images of any size you want. The added images are then resized (the resize function produce very good quality images). But you still get the best quality if you use images (glyphs) of the same size as the image list use.
The image lists are available in “[AppData]\Roaming\RJ TextEd\ImageLists\”. In the same folder you’ll find an option file “ImageLists.ini” you can edit and add your own image list(s) to.
I would appreciate any contribution from users.

Import diff file
Added menu items to import diff files. The imported file is used to patch the current document. You are able to make changes to the text before it is inserted.

Text compare
Fixed several issues in the text compare algorithm. It should handle Unicode properly now and yield better results.

Chrome preview
Updated the chrome libraries to version 3.2883 (Chrome v65). Flash is enabled and should work if you have a flash player installed.

Online help
The help is now located Online. This to make sure the help is displayed properly on high DPI monitors.
You can download the help as an CHM file and add it as a tool, if you want to use a local file instead. Available from https://www.rj-texted.se/downloads

splash screen
The splash screen should display on the correct monitor in a multi monitor setup. The splash window and text is scaled properly now on high DPI monitors.
The splash screen should now always display the correct version and if it’s a 32 or 64 bit executable.
