Warnings & Announces

• WARNING! Backup your changed files in bundles and themes folders and Uninstall previous release

Features

Multi-Document Interface (tabs)

• All necessary commands to navigate between tabs you’ll find in the menus (and much more is underway).
• Instance control has been also implemented. So from now on, Intype is forced to be single-instance, all files opened with other instance of Intype are redirected to the first one. So no more multiple Intype applications wasting your space on the task bar.
• Open Dialog supports opening multiple files at once
• Undo supports automation and will keep the multi-insert behavior until you leave it either by pressing ESC, by typing after the active region.

Multi-Selections and Rectangular Selections

• You can create multiple selection ranges with Ctrl+Click’n‘Drag. Overlapping regions will merge after you release the mouse button.
• You can create rectangular selections with Alt+Click’n‘Drag, or by keyboard using Alt+Arrows.
• When in multi-selection or rectangular-selection mode, multi-insert feature is activated. So all you type is copied to all selected regions.

Snippets & Multi-Snippets

• When in multi or rectangular selection, you can launch any snippet by keyboard shortcut or by selecting from menu. Snippets supporting wrapping selection will be launched for every range.
• Undo will keep behavior of currently active snippet until you leave the snippet mode (ESC, typing after active region, or by using multiple Undo commands)

Find & Replace

• Regular Expressions supporting all strenght of Oniguruma Regular Expression library.
• Current selection ranges (also with multi selections) are used to prefill find and replace fields. First select range for find string, then for replace string.
• You can also use clipboard history to fill the search field. First copy text to be found, then copy text for replace.
• “Replace In Selection” button in the Find dialog will naturaly work with multi-selection.

Clipboard History

• Intype now keeps history of your clipboard.
• You can use Ctrl+Shift+V to show popup menu with the history registers and pick one to insert.
• The most recent register is at the end of the menu — and is naturaly available by Ctrl+V

Word Wrap

• Word-Wrap supports aligning wrapped lines with the physical line’s indentation.

Bug Fixes

Those are some of the bug fixes reported for 0.2.x versions:

• Tab key now inserts appropriate amount of spaces relative to current column.

Bundles

Bundle Menu (info.itInfo in bundle’s folder) has been changed. Currently we are using fully-specified command name identifier in format

bundle.<Bundle_Folder_Name>.<snippet|language>.<Snippet_File_Name_Without_Extension>

Please update your menu definitions in your own bundles (perhaps using new Find & Replace functionality). Built-in bundles were updated. Extended bundles are already available thanx to Thomas Bell.

All languages are switched to Ctrl+Shift+Alt modified shortcuts.

News

• There’s also available our current short-term ToDo list.
• Documentation underway.
• Wrapping selection in snippets now works as expected.
• ESC key to clear the selection, reset mode and to hide floating dialogs.
• Ctrl+Enter mapped to command “New Line Below”

I’d like to thank to people around Intype Team, especially (listed alphabetically) Benjamin Beirnaert, Thomas Bell, Andre Medeiros and Christopher Speer.

So I believe you will like this one, because much more is on the way (many other features are ready, but need to be tested and tuned). I hope we will deliver it sooner than this one. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Indentation Auto-Detection Plugin Description (codename metacrawler)

Indentation Auto-Detector consists of two detecting mechanisms: examining leading whitespace for lines in document and Emacs-style meta info. Detector is able to choose the best indentation values from both mechanisms.

Soft/Hard tabs detector:

• Detecting soft/hard tabs mode by leading whitespace on the lines
• Is able to detect size of soft tabs. Hard tabs size cannot be detected and defaults to user preferences.

Emacs-style detector:

• Detects soft/hard tabs ands it’s size by emacs-style meta information embedded to document
• Supported properties are:
  • indent-tabs-mode: nil to set soft tabs (spaces), or
  • indent-tabs-mode: t to set hard tabs (tab characters)
  • tab-width-value: value to set size of the identation

Examples for Emacs-style detector:
// -*- indent-tabs-mode:t; tab-width:4 -*-
or
// -*- indent-tabs-mode:nil; tab-width:4 -*-
