Information

RJ TextEd is developed in Delphi 2007 from Codegear and is released as Freeware.

The program is free to use for commercial purposes. But if you do, I would appreciate a donation.

The program has been tested in windows Me/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit).
Note that the language and syntax files will be replaced when installing a new version.

Plugins and tools

(TopStyle Lite) CSS Editor

RJ TextEd is a very good CSS editor. It includes syntax highlighting, auto completion (Ctrl+Space), color wheels, font selection and CSS preview (open the bottom HTML/CSS preview). But if you still prefere to use the old TopStyle Lite, here it is.

Because of a bug you need to have version 3.10, or earlier, installed before installing version 3.5.
Download version 3.10 here.
Download version 3.5 here.

Firefox and Chrome preview

Firefox or Google Chrome doesn't have to be installed. But you should consider installing Google Chrome if you need to preview web pages containing flash. If installed Chrome's own flash player is used. Otherwise the same flash plugin is used by both Firefox and Chrome preview, which may result in a crash.

Create a new skin

Use this skin builder to create or modify your own skins.
Download it here.

Fonts

Although "Courier New" is an excellent mono spaced font, there are others you may want to try. On Windows Vista/7 I would recommend "Consolas". If you use Windows XP you could download PowerPoint Viewer 2007 here . This will install the "Consolas" font.

You could also try DejaVu here.

Version 7.90

Cut/Copy Special

Added a new menu item in the "Edit" menu with the sub menu items:

Cut and Append
Copy and Append
Copy and Paste

Incremental Find...

Open a small find bar in the top right document area to make an incremental search. Some options are available e.g. highlight all items found.

Single line Find/Replace bar

Removed the search pane in the bottom bar and created a new single line find/replace bar. To use it - set the option "Open find/replace as a single line bar" in options. It is a bit higher when you do a replace though. If you select "Find" - only the find options and buttons are displayed.

Text clip variables

It is now possible to add variables to your text clips and also prompt for information. The variable definition block has to be enclosed by %%. Variables by %. The variable block has to be at the top of the start clip. Variables can then be inserted anywhere inside the text clip. Both in the start and end clip.

@i will prompt for a text to be used with the %name% variable. "My name" is just a label displayed in the prompt window. @d and @t will get the current date and time.

Goto line...

The goto line window is now part of the find/replace dialog window.

Bookmarks are now listed and you can select and go to any of them in the document.

Clipboard history

Made some changes to allow several selected items to be pasted, copied or removed. This means e.g. that you can combine several clips into one and paste them in one action.

FTP (OpenVMS)

FTP against a VMS OS should work properly now. It's been tested with OpenVMS.

TODO and NOTE items with projects

Made some minor changes to find todo and note items in e.g. ini files.

Version 7.81

Fixed

• Firefox preview could crash the program.
• Updated the Italian language file.

Version 7.80

Find and replace

Removed the "Extended search" dialog and created a new find and replace dialog. Both the find and replace tab now contain options to search in all open files, project files and files in a folder. I also made several improvements e.g. replace preview now work in selections and from the current cursor position, when making a replace in the current document. The same is true for the count feature.

The search pane in the bottom bar has also been redesigned and several improvements have been made.

It is possible to set a keyboard shortcut to open the find or replace with the option "Find where" set to "Folder". The actions in "Customize keyboard" are "FindInFilesAction" and "ReplaceInFilesAction".

Copy to clipboard option

Added an option to allow the current line to be copied to the clipboard if nothing is selected. This option is turned off by default.

You can now type numeric codes from 128 to 159. The correct Unicode character is inserted to the text.

E.g.

ALT+153 (type 153 on the numeric pad while holding the ALT key - and release ALT to insert character) will now insert ™ (= U+2122).

Text comparison

Added text comparison items to the document tab context menu on the right pane, when using "Dual document view". If no comparison software is set in options - all text compare menu items should be grayed out.

Find All (with highlighted search results)

A search using a string containing two, or more, lines should be highlighted properly now. Also fixed several issues e.g. scrollbar in the wrong position after the search.

Replace preview in extended search

Added an option in the extended search window to enable replace preview. When executing the replace, a preview window is displayed showing all changes in all files. Next to each file and text change is a checkbox allowing you to only select those changes you want to make in each file. Or you can exclude some files entirely. The preview window only have two buttons: "OK" and "Cancel". OK will commit all the selected changes.

This feature is actually pretty amazing and I don't know how we ever managed without it.

Document switcher

The document switcher window is displayed when you press "Ctrl+Tab" or "Shift+Ctrl+Tab". It is closed when the Ctrl button is released. You can switch document tab as usual by hitting (Shift+)Ctrl+Tab, use up/down arrows or Home/End buttons.

Symbol words in syntax files

Added a new option to syntax files i.e. "SymbolWordsA ... SymbolWordsC".

You can think of symbol words as arrays with values separated by spaces. Each value has to have the same width. You can use up to 3 symbol word arrays with different value sizes. All symbols used must also exist in the "Symbols=" string. The larger width values should be declared first.

Example
If you add the following in a syntax file:

Symbols={}\*?

Version 7.03

Fixed editor disappears issue

I finally managed to reproduce the issue. It's a synchronize issue between the background thread, that updates code folding, and the main thread. I have only been able to reproduce it on Intel Core i7 (8 cores with hyper threading), but it may occur on other systems as well. I actually haven't received a single bug report on the issue, so it may not occur very often. But it is a serious bug, hence the update.

Version 7.02

This is a minor update to address some reported issues.

New auto complete option

Added an option to "Close HTML tags".

Fixed

• Several issues with the auto completion list.
• Auto completion delay can now be set to any value.
• Close block issues e.g. { ... } block auto close in PHP documents.
• Editor disappears (crashes without any messages and without saving changed files). I've only seen it once and never been able to reproduce it, but I've made some changes that should prevent this from happening by synchronizing some background thread function calls with the main thread.

Version 7.01

This is a minor update to address some reported issues.

Fixed

• The highlight feature shouldn't highlight white spaces when using the option to always highlight during selection.

Version 7.0

Text Clips/Clipboard history

Text clips are now stored in an XML file and are displayed in a tree view, instead of lists. You can move around clips anywhere in the tree and add any number of folders.

The tab can also display a clipboard history list. You can paste from any selected item in the list and you can copy back an old item to the clipboard.

Capture Clipboard

Added a menu item (in "Edit" menu) to capture the clipboard. The current document tab color will change and all text added to the clipboard will be pasted to this document. The tab color can be changed in options.

A simple sound is played when activated and when clipboard content is pasted. A line break is added after each pasted clipboard content.

Project Todo List

Moved the project todo list to its own tab after the "Project Class View" tab. Also added a menu item in the "View" menu to allow users to view/hide the tab. Also added an options dialog with some options.

CSS dialogs

Added some CSS dialogs that can be opened from the "UserMenu" (Ctrl+Space) or in the auto completion list. The dialogs are available for properties like border, background, list-style, outline...

Version 5.73

New command line parameter

Added a new command line parameter /hex to open a file in the hex editor. E.g. TextEd.exe /hex MyFile.bin

Shell extension (Explorer context menu "RJ TextEd" item)

Fixed a few issues with the shell extension, e.g. "Run as Administrator" stopped working. Also made a small change in the install script when installing the rjshell.dll and rjshell64.dll files. If an older version is replaced the script will ask the user to restart windows if necessary.
