Download RJ TextEd 12.60

Version 12.60 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. Since version 12.40, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Version 12.60

Abbreviations

Added a new branch to the clip tree, located in the text clips panel, called “Abbreviations”. I also added a few example abbreviations for a few highlighters.

Abbreviations are expanded by hitting ALT+ENTER and are highlighter dependent. You can have an abbreviation named “for” in several highlighter branches. Which version expanded depend on the current highlighter.

You can also set TAB or SPACE as triggers to expand abbreviations. This is done in the “Format” menu.

Abbreviations (and text clips) can handle tab positions and multiple selections. Eg if you insert the same tab position variable several times – they will all be highlighted and you can edit all positions at the same time.

Ex: This is the clip added to the PHP branch with the name “for”.

[[#1]]= $tab x
[[#2]]= $tab 0
[[#3]]= $tab
[[#4]]= $tab for ($[[#1]† [[#2]† †[[#1]† [[#3]† †[[#1]†
[[#4]†

To use this clip open a PHP file and type “for” and press ALT+ENTER (TAB or SPACE).

The clip is expanded and the first tab(s) are selected. In this case [[#1]]is replaced with “x” and all three instances are selected.

for ($x = [[#2]† $x <= [[#3]† $x++) { [[#4]†

To keep the x as variable just press TAB. Otherwise type the new variable name. Press TAB to select [[#2]], which has been replaced by “0”. tab positions [[#3]]and [[#4]]are replaced by “”.

NOTE! You only need to open the text clip panel to edit or add new abbreviations. It doesn’t have to be open for abbreviations to work.

Menu style

Changed the default menu style in Windows 10. You can use it in other Windows versions as well by changing the menu style option. The “old” style is still available in options and used as the default style in older Windows versions.
On Windows 10 (8.1) the background color is white and the accent color is used for menu highlighting. The accent color used automatically change if the system color change.

Syntax editor

Re-designed the user interface, replaced several components and changed the colors and menu style. Made several changes internally to make the code easier to maintain.
On Windows 10 (8.1) the accent color is used in tabs and menus.
The accent color is automatically updated if the system color change.

New compiler version

All executable files have been re-compiled with the latest Delphi version.

If you are updating your installation from a previous version the rtl250.bpl and jcl250.bpl library files are removed when installing the new version. If you use the portable version you can safely remove them yourself.
