I plan it later- not simple work..

Upd.

2.1.440.

+ opt View/"Draw current line BG"
+ opt View/"Show horiz. ruler"

These are really nice addons. I like both new options! Also I have 2 suggestions/wishes.

1. I have seen that you can drag down ruler. So you get a dual window / split screen. Maybe add a small triangle symbol so everyone can see where to click to enable the 2 window mode? Or add a new icon to buttonbar to switch to 2 window mode?
At this time I can not see what this feature is good for. By editing file in lower window the upper window is changed at same time. It could be useful to make upper window locked / read only. So you can edit lower window and see original file in upper window. Only by saving changes for lower window the upper window reloads file and show updated content.

2. Enable word wrap and set caret position to end of any large line. Now disable word wrap. The window now jumps to the right. I have to scroll back to beginning of line. It's better that window stays at column 1. Notepad++ and Ultraedit do it this way.

2.1.440 problem: default lister font is not longer used if e.g. Styles>Font Style/Color is selected.

i may add triangle. But Readme must say that split/scr feature is there. Is it missed (in text)?
Button- don't think its needed. Readonly for 1 win-- not possible, RO is changed sync-ly for both windows.

A triangle is nice, if it is easy to implement.
I have not seen it it readme file Syn.html. Btw. I don't like read manuals

I can jump to col 1 when Wrap is enabled/disabled- no problem

would be good. thanks.
but please don't change caret position if possible

Here is 1 bug and 2 wishes:

1. There is something wrong in (selection lenght/lines) in status bar.
Make a new document with exact 2 lines, eg:

Code: Select all

line1¶
line2

Do not add a third line!
Now press CTRL+POS1 to go to beginning of document. Press CTRL+SHIFT+END to select all text. In status bar you see now selection lenght/lines: (12/2)
Now press CTRL+END to go to end of document. Press CTRL+SHIFT+POS1 to select all text again. In status bar is now shown: (12/1)
Only 1 line is shown, but there are two lines.
Why is length=12? There are only 10 chars.

2. In char table the hex code for selected char is shown. Please show also decimal value. I can use decimal value for type special chars in other applications. Eg. I use ALT+244 for typing ¶. In Syn OEM char table I only see hex value $F4 and have to convert to decimal for myself.

3. please add option to select font for horizontal ruler

[Alextp]

2. 3. added, Ok.

[Alextp]

1. Length is ok (12 is 10chars + CRLF)
Linenum- fixed I hope. That was logic that dec-s num when we're at the col.0..

[Matthias030]

Length is ok (12 is 10chars + CRLF)

Maybe do it similar to Notepad++? Show selection as:
10 (12 bytes) / 2 lines

[Alextp]

hm. That way i need to count all CR LF's in text. now its just numbers difference.

Ok. No problem if too much work to do.

[Matthias030]

In status bar "char at cursor" field always shows char codes for ANSI. Example for character "¶":
ANSI encoding enabled: ¶ #182 0xB6
OEM encoding enabled: ¶ #182 0xB6
Better is for OEM: ¶ #244 0xF4

Not sure if it is easy to realize. Also it has no high priority.

Another wish: Any chance to see a nicer char table? Can you make option to change font and/or font size for char table?
