Download RJ TextEd 12.40

Version 12.33 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. Since version 12.34, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Version 12.40

Document editing and speed

While solving a few issues with the background thread I also improved editing speed for operations like typing, deleting (DEL/BACK), or any other operation that just changes the content of the current line. The change may be quite noticeable.

Other speed improvements

Sort functions have been optimized and should be even faster than before.

Hash Generator

Added a simple hash generator in the “Tools” menu. It can generate a string hash using the most common algorithms. NOTE! If you feel that an algorithm is missing, let me know.

Allow illegal control characters in text files

Added a new option to allow illegal control characters in source/text files. The option is turned on by default, allowing you to open text files containing eg a few non-text characters like zeros. If turned off, files containing illegal control characters are handled as binary/hex files.

Save hex view status

The editor can now remember the hex view status after a document has been closed. This should work with both text and binary files. The setting is available in “Options -> File -> Save status for last open files”.

Fixed

• FTP issue with older FTP servers (Unix/Linux vsftpd…).
• Open remote (S)FTP from recent files menu.
• Some changes DPI issues.
• A few delete issues.
• Several hard to find exceptions that may appear randomly.
• Open file at cursor.
• Clipboard history display issues with delete and clear.
• Paste text at end of line.
• Display space and tabs issue.
• Change newline format display issue.
• Trim trailing spaces issue in column mode.
• Replace issue with regular expressions.
• Minimize/Maximize issues.

Version 12.35

Move editor between monitors with different DPI

Made some changes to speed thing up. The main window isn’t constantly redrawing anymore and moving the window between monitors is much faster.

Fixed

• Reload document issues.
• Some very hard to find editor background thread issues.
