Software Update: RJ TextEd 14.0

Version 14.0 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 74.0.3729.

markdown

Added a Markdown syntax file. It should highlight most elements and add code folding.

Shift+Space list (auto complete list) contain some useful commands.

Updated the Markdown to HTML conversion and improved the browser preview. The CSS file used to add styles to the output is found in “\Roaming\RJ TextEd\Data\markdown.css”.

Delay opening file until tab is active

Added an option to delay the loading of a file until you click on the tab or activate the document tab in any other way. This makes opening files much faster.

Tabs with not yet opened files have there file name enclosed with **, so you can see which documents have yet to be opened. Eg **My file**

The option is off by default in the final version.

Search bar

Redesigned the search bar and added a new toolbar for folder options. It’s only visible when searching folders.

Fixed a few issues as well.

Message panel

Added a context menu item to copy selected lines, or copy the current line if nothing is selected.

You should also be able to use keyboard shortcuts for copy and select all (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C).

Emmet

Added standard vendor prefix “-” to CSS. Eg -bdrs (which works the same as -v-bdrs).

Wrap with Abbreviation

Added support for placeholders $#. The placeholder is replaced with one line of selected text.

Eg Abbreviation ul>li[title=$#]*>{$#}+img[alt=$#] Selection About New Products Contacts Result in

• About
• New
• Products
• Contacts

Fixed several issues and updated the snippets.ini file.

Select Brace Enclosed

Should work now with plain text. Supported braces are(), []{} and “”.

Tools

Added a few presets that can be used when adding new tools. It’s only a few. I’ll try to add more in later versions.

• Shortcut issues with dragged out editor window.
• Temporary background save issues.
• Text cursor position and tab issues when document map is visible.
• Startup issue if floating panels are found.
• Chrome preview issue at close down.
