![]() In fact, “ and ” characters were not defined in the ISO-8859-1 encoding, but defined in the Windows-1252 encoding. The customer already acknowledged that this was due to difference in encoding in the ISO-8859-1 and the supserset Windows-1252 encodings. Some customer complained that EmEditor didn’t show “ (0x93, U+201C) and ” (0x94, U+201D) characters in Western European HTML files correctly, and the HTML file had the charset=iso-8859-1 tag. I don’t believe most users would care assigning shortcuts for a particular configuration, so I wanted to make All Configurations the default for keyboard assignments. It was a little confusing in the past that EmEditor allows you to assign keyboard shortcuts both only for the current configuration and for all configurations. From v21.2, All Configurations becomes the default setting for the Keyboard Map. This should save some time to find the command in the Keyboard page of configuration properties. This command opens the Keyboard page of Properties for All Configurations, and the command you right-clicked is pre-selected. Basically, v21.2 permanently records a macro no matter the Start Recording command is turned on, and you will just need to pick a starting point of the macro when you want to repeat the recent steps.Īnother convenient feature I’ve come up with is the Assign Keyboard Shortcut command displayed on the right-click menu on almost all menu items and toolbar buttons. ![]() You can also select the Repeat Steps command on the Edit menu to bring up the Repeat dialog box without waiting for the notification tip appears. Clicking on the link brings up the Repeat dialog box, where you can specify the number of times to repeat the steps. Usually if you repeat certain task 3 times (might be adjusted in the future), a notification tip appears with the Enter Repeat Count hyperlink. The new Repeat Steps feature comes handy in this situation. By the time you decide to record steps as a macro, it’s often already half done, and you just want to finish the repetition without thinking more. However, it is often true that you want to try those steps without recording a macro first. When you have repetitive tasks in a text editor, experienced users know how to record them as a macro, and repeat the macro as many times as necessary. I didn’t want to create any significant background tasks in EmEditor just to make the app slow down (remember Office assistant Clipper?), but I agree that some repetitive tasks should be simplified more easily. They suggested using AI to detect next movements of EmEditor. This idea initially came from an informal talk with Mado-no-mori editors in Tokyo before the pandemic. Second, v21.2 includes the new Repeat Steps feature. When EmEditor is launched for the first time after a fresh install, a new dialog box to select EmEditor Professional or EmEditor Free appears, and you can start using is as the Free version without even finding the Downgrade command. In recent versions, the Downgrade and Upgrade commands exist on the Help menu, but the default was still Pro version. In the past, some users complain that the process to downgrade from Pro to Free is confusing. ![]() The new Free version features on v21.2 include Bookmarks, Markers, Compare files (with default options only), Spelling, Numbering, Full screen view, Workspaces, Macros ( Record and Run only, no scriptable macros), Outline, Start window, and many options in configuration properties. Some users wrote not-so-good reviews just because the Free version lacks many features that were available only for the Pro version. However, more free text editors become available these days, and I want more users use EmEditor as an alternative to other free text editors. In the past, my focus was updating the product for paid customers. Many customer interactions and reasons often exist behind all new features, and I would like to share those behind the scenes stories with you, which might not fit in formal release notes.įirst of all, I think many people would welcome the fact that this new version (v21.2) includes many new features for the Free version ( EmEditor Free). Some customer asked me to write a technical review on major releases, and I thought it’s good idea.
