Download Intype 0.3.1.547

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.

martincohen: We will try hard. Have plenty of really powerful ideas. The base is done. Now we can play :)

I have a few questions, how much easier is it to develop with your new API? And in the future will you have plugins and possibly open up part of the API so that others can develops plugins & addons, etc.? And did you develop intype with intype? =P

• Yep, it’s much more easier. It’s fun adding new features, one time I had been unstoppable, and had to remove some features the other day :)
• The API will be open for everyone. We have planned releasing first public API for 0.4 along with JavaScript scripting support.
• Nope, Intype is not the category. However, we are developing a new site and support subsites in it, and it’s just great to use it.

There is one thing though. I’m pretty used that all editors and IDEs on Windows offer both find and replace functions separately. Intype doesn’t and sums them up in the menu as simple “Find”. I think this is a bit confusing. Maybe it would be a good idea to follow the tradition here or at least rename “Find’ to “Find and Replace”?

The close dialog should have “Save” and “Don’t save” labels for the buttons. http://www.xvsxp.com/interface/dialogs.php :)

Maybe the F3 shortcut should work even when the search dialog is focused, and not just when you’re in the editor?

I’m actually missing a project manager, now that the editor is so well built it feels unbalanced without a good PM part, somehow, but, I know that’s to come in the future…

Well, anyhow. Great work on this one, guys.

Oh, one other thing. The scrollbars redrawing is a little funky, when switching tabs and resizing the window and so on… I don’t know why this is. And one last thing too, when you activate Word Wrap and then resize the window to a width that is exactly so that the last character gets cut in half… that shouldn’t happen, it should wrap into another line of text before the window gets too narrow for the text to display fully. Right?

Anyway, you guys have done a great job. Keep it up. It’s time for a beer feast!

jbeduya: Yeah, there will be soon a keyboard map that let’s you configure the shortcuts as you wish.

this release rocks!!!

However, there are still minor releases that are still moving things forward.

I personally is very found of winSCP :)

dotsona: some stuff (as we are working on currently) takes more time than can be reasonably planned.
