Mr.Ed V1.14 is a highly configurable OS/2 PM text editor for programmers.
Changes in V1.14 1 October 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW: hypertext section searching. Set the cursor to a sections reference (for
example a call to a C-function) and then call "Find section" or press
[CNTRL + Return]. This will search the function declaration in the buffers
first, and then in the files of the working directory. A feature to define
specific directories to search will be implemented in the next version of
Mr.Ed (project management). Also a "ctags" compatible index file is
planned.
NEW: auto file load on startup. The names of the current used files are saved
in the file "med.lru" when Mr.Ed shuts down and reloaded automatically
when Mr.Ed is started again. "med.lru" can be saved in the current working
directory (local) or in the Mr.Ed configuration directory (global). Auto
load can be skipped by pressing the [CNTRL]-key during startup.
NEW: the Window Monitor can optionally be attached to the main window (left,
right, top or bottom). Height/width and position of the Window Monitor are
adjusted when the main window is moved or resized. The right mouse button
brings up a Window Monitor context menu.
NEW: backup file names can now have a numeric extension.
NEW: wildcards ("*", "?", "[]") can be used when file names are passed to Mr.Ed
on the commandline or in the file selector.
NEW: option of scrolling the text via the sliders while the cursor remains in
the same location in the window.
NEW: matching strings are underlined green by the "Find..." function.
NEW: reloading "med.syn" without leaving Mr.Ed
NEW: "Undo" sets the state of a buffer to "not modified" when all modifications
are reverted. Note that the undo queue has a limited size, so you not
always will get back to the initial state of a buffer.
NEW: commands to delete blanks left/right the current cursor position up the
next character.
NEW: a click with the left mouse button while pressing [SHIFT] relocates the
end of a block.
NEW: "Select all" command in the "Block" menu.
NEW: optionally a marked block is replaced when a character is entered or the
clipboard is inserted. This feature is available only in the "Auto block
unmarking" mode.
NEW: the status of the "Save" option in the dialog "Set bookmark" is now part
the Mr.Ed configuration. With this option activated the bookmark list
would grow permanently. To prevent this, the maximum count of bookmarks to
be saved can be defined.
NEW: "Ping-Pong" bookmark functions, that do not call the bookmark dialogs.
Example:
--------
Set the cursor to line 20 and call "Save cursor position". Then scroll to
line 100 and call "Restore cursor position". The cursor jumps to line 20.
Now call "Restore cursor position" again and the cursor jumps back to line
100. The next call will jump to line 20 and so on....
NEW: a list of characters can be defined, which will cause the word wrap
function to begin a new paragraph, in case one of this characters appears
in the first column of a line.
NEW: the default mouse pointer in text windows now is the "I-beam". The mouse
pointer type can be changed to "arrow".
NEW: further enhancements of syntax highlighting. Reserved words now may
contain a symbol at the start and end.
NEW: HTML and Modula-2 syntax highlighting.
NEW: sounds can be turned off
NEW: File Selector fonts (menubar, file name entryfield, file-/directory list)
can be configured via drag'n'drop. Section Browser font (section list) can
be configured via drag'n'drop. "Exit Mr.Ed" dialog font (file list) can be
configured via drag'n'drop.
NEW: new notebook style under OS/2 4.0 (Merlin)
CHG: compiler error/warning messages are no longer displayed in the status bar.
They are now displayed in a small window beneath the faulty line.
CHG: cursor position is no longer changed when a window is activated by a mouse
click in the text area.
CHG: F1 and F10 can now be redefined for macro calls.
CHG: when a word is selected, the cursor is set automatically to the begin of
the word.
CHG: file selector: [SHIFT + Tab] displays the previous matching file name.
FIX: the first instance detection now works properly when multiple files are
dropped on the Mr.Ed icon.
FIX: bug in NDX support.
FIX: "Recording macro..." message
FIX: block marking with the mouse no longer gets stuck when the mouse button is
released over the window border.
