Here is a list, what features has been added to synedit.
- LCL support (not just compile. using less messages, but methods)
- UTF-8 support
- bidi support
- fast enough to open and edit fpcmacosall.pas
- 64bit support
- Options:
eoBracketHighlight, // Highlight matching bracket
eoDoubleClickSelectsLine, // Select line on double click
eoHideRightMargin, // Hides the right margin line
eoPersistentCaret, // Do not hide caret when focus lost
eoShowCtrlMouseLinks, // Pressing Ctrl will highlight the word under
the mouse cursor
eoAutoIndentOnPaste, // Indent text inserted from clipboard
eoSpacesToTabs // Converts space characters to tabs and spaces
eoCaretSkipsSelection, // Caret skips selection on VK_LEFT/VK_RIGHT
eoAlwaysVisibleCaret // Move caret to be always visible when
scrolling
- Support for primary selection (middle mouse click under X)
- property BlockIndent: integer
- procedure SelectToBrace;
- procedure SelectLine;
- procedure SelectParagraph;
- property SelStart: Integer
- property SelEnd: Integer
- code folding
- the TSynPasSyn has some extensions too.
- syncompletion.pas contains a lot of additions. But nowadays I would
rewrite the whole unit. The IDE already positions and paints the completion
box. Therefore the new synedit just needs to provide some hooks and I will
write a new completion box for the IDE. I want to extend it anyway.
Of course the identifiers can be renamed and some features could work a
little bit different.
And: This time keep in sync with the official synedit with {$IFDEF LCL}.
I didn't take a closer look at unisynedit. What are the differences to the
old synedit?
