E-texteditor new releases
24 MayOk, it’s been so long since last E stable (1.0.32) and I started to think that Alexander dropped the project. Well… I was wrong. And I don’t remember being so happy when I’m wrong ![]()
Anyhow, two weeks ago, another release hit the wild: 1.0.33. This is what was new with it:
- Added simple (but fast) Find in Project dialog.
- Search and Replace now has pop-up history.
- Settings dialog now have page with info about cygwin setup [adamv].
- Settings are now saved in JSON format.
- Repeatedly pressing home key will now toogle between beginning of line and the beginning of the indented text #354 [adamv]
- Improved multi-monitor handling #356 [adamv]
- Fixed shortcuts using windows keys was broken.
- Fixed re-opening previously edited bundle items.
- Fixed problem with unicode paths in projects #342 [tea]
- Fixed inf. loop after deleting bundle item #309 [tea]
With this release i saw a nice (and so waited!) performance boost: from 20 seconds (or even more!!!), the startup time dropped to 1-2 seconds
After a week or so, big surprise (and I mean it!): a brand new version of E! What’s new with this? Let see:
- Added support for Regular Expressions in Find in Project.
- Added keyboard shortcut for Find in Project (Ctrl-Alt-F).
- Fixed some keyboard shortcuts in menu.
- Fixed problem that prevented some bundle shortcuts from being detected.
- Fixed restoration of unsaved files #358.
- Fixed double-click on project pane folders #357.
- Fixed problem when re-opening remote file.
- Fixed cygwin path off-by-one error [adamv].
- Double-clicking projectpane folder now toogles.
- Fixed plain search in ‘Find in Files’.
- Removed old ‘Find in Files’ bundle command (it had conflicting shortcut).
- Fixed adding slash to drive in cygwin path [adamv]

E is somewhat a clone of TextMate for Mac.
I tried it when I was coding on Windows, but I can tell you that you didn’t seen anything until you’ve tried TextMate
Gyorgy, thanks for comment. I tried textmate few months (maybe a year?) ago and I wasn’t too impressed. I mean.. I imported bundles from e (btw, import was flawless: bundles and snippets worked exactly like how it work on windows) but… Dunno, didn’t impress me
