Download RJ TextEd 14.61

Version 14.61 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 following improvements have been made in this release:

Chrome Preview

Updated component and libraries to version 83.0.4103.

FTP (sites)

Made some extensive changes to the download/upload threads. They should display a more meaningful progress dialog window, be much faster and handle hidden files and folders.

All FTP operations should handle hidden files and folders properly now. That includes the sites panel and synchronizations.

Code folding and syntax files

Made a complete rewrite of the code folding feature. It is now (mostly) indentation based. Which means you don’t have to add anything to the syntax files for the folding to work.

If you need to tweak it a bit and add items to the code explorer – you still need to add some data in the syntax files.

Line comments spanning more than 3 lines are now fold-able as well as normal block comments.

Indentation based folding can be turned off in the syntax file (fold options section). This can be useful when you only want a few elements to be foldable and you want to use a specific start and end.

It is also possible to turn off folding of line comment blocks.

All syntax files have been updated.

Fixed several issues with the code explorer.

Code folding options

Added new options to reduce the number of folds displayed.

• Only display necessary folds like for classes and methods… Use this to hide some folds like if statements and loops.
• Ignore folds tension less than x lines. Default is 5. Important folds like classes and methods are always displayed. But other smaller folds are ignored if they span less than the specified number of lines.

Both options can be very helpful if you find the left margin cluttered with fold icons. They can both greatly reduce the number of folds and fold icons displayed.

Code fold icons

Added a few smaller versions of existing fold icons. You can select them in the theme manager.

High DPI and themes

Fixed several theme issues on high DPI screens and when moving between monitors.

Most themes (vcl styles) have been updated to newer versions which include high resolution bitmaps for use on high DPI monitors.

theme manager

Made some small changes and made some improvements to the theme preview on high DPI monitors.

Emmet Abbreviations

Single quotes in custom attributes should expand properly now. eg td[title=”Hello world!” colspan=3]
