SynWrite (Syn2)

[Alextp]

I can't always remember to fix Ver Info. I fix it today.

I think that if possible you can make the version in About window a variable readed from the file version. In this way you have to change the version in only one place. If it is automatic can be done the same?

[Alextp]

I won't make auto-readin of About Info from VerInfo. Not OK for me.

I have always downloaded the SynW rar,
more or less just unpacked it & copied the files into my SynW "install" directory.
Today I did that with 3.7.1460 and find that
the exe no longer reads my/the Syn.ini file in/from the "install" root directory.
What must I do to make the new exe do that?
I prefer to keep all file under one subdir and
not have other/various files under Docs & Settings ...

From the Home page / download tab:
V3.7.1460: If you've used portable SynWrite installation, you MUST create empty "Portable.ini" file in SynWrite folder.

I'm glad it was that simple ...

Something I (somehow) never noticed until this evening
is that it seems SyW has no "show whitespaces" option ...
is that correct?

Also, this evening I enable "Show EOL characters"
but SynW is still not displaying any EOL characters ...

You must toggle "Non printable characters"

[Alextp]

"Toggle non-printable" is in the View menu. Enable it along with "Show EOL chars".

Greetings - testing SynWrite - very impressed.

I see in the Options > Keys that there is a Parameters Popup feature.
Can anyone tell me how to get this working?

Example Python script:

Code: Select all

def generateString(minLength, maxLength):
    someString='only testing'
    return someString

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print generateString(5, 5)

generateString(    # ???

Ctrl+Space works for Auto Complete Popup.
Shift+Ctrl+Space does not work for Parameter Popup
How would I get the parameter popup for generateString?

I also tried some other programming language samples.

Have I misunderstood this feature?

[Alextp]

It works for Php. Maybe HL\Python.acp file 's not complete.
In new php file type

<?php
file_exists(

then Ctrl+Shift+Space calls param popup.

[ObtuseAngle]

Ah, I understand now, it's using an API file, not looking at my own function definitions in the current file.

Thank you for clarifying that!

Hi all!

I have been using SynWrite mainly as a Lister Plugin and I would like to be able to select multiple file and then view them in the same SynWrite window but in different tabs. Currently, when I select some files and press [F3] I view each file in its own SynWrite window and I can go back and forth using tne [N] and [P] key. Is this possible?

I’m sorry if this was something answered before... I tried some searches but could not find something relevant.

Thanks!

To open differ. Synwrite tabs in one window, you
a) must use Syn.exe program (not Syn2.wlx)
b) must configure TC toolbar button so it would call
"Syn.exe <fn1> <fn2> <fn3> ..."
consult TC help how to do it...

Thanks for the reply Alextp! Does this mean that I cannot configure SynWrite as an external viewer and assign it to [F3] key in TC’s "Edit/View" options? Do I have to do it via a toolbar button?
