Running on Linux

Justinsomnia: /* Windows Theme */

==Introduction==
Did you realize that your favorite text editor runs on Linux? Well, now you know, so if you've been thinking about making the switch, you're out of excuses.

PS: This means, using DarWine, you can run this fine program on the Mac OS X. How cool is that?

==Installation Instructions==

To get EditPlus working under Linux, you need to install the popular '''Wine''' software. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. To install Wine on Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux, enter the following at the command line:

apt-get install wine

In a terminal window, download the latest [http://www.editplus.com/download.html EditPlus Windows installer] in your home directory.

cd ~
wget <nowiki>ftp://ftp.editplus.com/epp331.exe</nowiki>

Then invoke this command to start the installation process:

wine ./epp331.exe

Once it's installed, go to where EditPlus was installed, e.g.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EditPlus\ 3/

and run this command:

wine ./editplus.exe

It should start running and you should be good to go.

As an alternative, if you have a full installation of '''wine''' on your Linux system, shortcuts are auto-configured for Windows '''.EXE''' files. Double-clicking on '''epp331.exe''' in your desktop file browser will auto-magically bring up '''wine''' with the program loaded.

==Post-Install Tips==

===Create a shortcut===

''Note: Wine should do this automatically if you choose to add an icon to your desktop at the end of the installation.''

You can create a desktop shortcut to EditPlus, so that clicking the icon will bring it up in wine.

Instructions for Gnome:
# Download the EditPlus icon [[Image:Editplus.png]] to your desktop (also see [[Icons]])
# Right click on the Desktop and select "Create Launcher..."
# Set the name to: <code>EditPlus</code>
# Set the command to: <code>wine "C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\editplus.exe"</code>
# Click the "No Icon" button and select the EditPlus icon you downloaded

===Fonts===

If your Wine apps are using the ugly font that it picks by default, install the Microsoft Tahoma font. It can be downloaded [http://download.microsoft.com/download/office97pro/fonts/1/W95/EN-US/tahoma32.exe here]. Then simply run:

wine ./tahoma32.exe

and follow the prompts. '''Note:''' installing this font may cause the column marker not display the correct current column. Reason currently unknown.

If you have Debian or a Debian-based distro (such as Ubuntu), you should be able to download and install [http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx Microsoft's Core Web Fonts] through "apt-get":

apt-get install msttcorefonts

If you are running Gentoo Linux, you can simply install Windows fonts through a package in portage, called corefonts:

emerge -av corefonts

For other fonts, see [[Fonts]].

===Windows Theme===

The default Windows widgets (buttons, menus, etc) that come with Wine look pretty ugly compared to a nicely polished Gnome interface. Fear not! You can [http://winehq.org/docs/en/wineusr-guide.html#AEN286 change the theme that Wine uses] to make it look more Gnome/WinXP-like.

Create a directory for the theme

mkdir -p ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale

Download the Royale theme (or you can download manually from [http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/Royale-Theme-for-WinXP.shtml here])

cd ~
wget <nowiki>http://download1us.softpedia.com/dl/eb2e6963dc2076d934ab9dda8e9d42a8/4e445941/100013027/software/desktop/Royale_theme.zip</nowiki>

Unzip the downloaded file and move into the directory above

unzip Royale_theme.zip; cp Royale\ Theme\ for\ Win\ XP.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale

Install Royale theme and follow the prompts

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale/Royale\ Theme\ for\ Win\ XP.exe

Run <code>winecfg</code>, under the "Desktop Integration" tab, select the "Media Center style" as the Theme

[[Image:EditPlus-on-Ubuntu-Royale.png|center|frame|EditPlus running under Wine on Ubuntu with the Royale Theme]]

===Fixing the keyboard shortcuts===

You may not have realized it in Windows, but under Linux it can be handy to change some default keybindings (e.g. Ctrl+W to close a tab instead of Ctrl+F4). Use Document > Permanent Settings > Keyboard to do this.

===SFTP===

This tip not only applies to EditPlus, but ANY *nix app. First, install Fuse[http://fuse.sourceforge.net/]. Then install the Fuse filesystem SSHFS [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html]. Now you can mount SFTP at a normal mount-point and open/save files just like you would to a local directory.

==User tools==

If you need to capture the output of your User Tools (Tools->Configure User Tools), you may have problems (at least with wine version 0.9.46). It seems that wine does not redirect well the output of the programs. The only output from the command line that can be redirected to EditPlus are Windows commands like "dir" or "more". A workarround is the following:
*Create a linux shell script with an .exe extension. This shell script must call the aplication you want to execute and write anything interesting in a temporary text file.
*Create a .bat that calls the previous .exe and prints the temporary text file with <code>more</code>.

For example, to capture the output of <code>make</code> you can do the following:

Create a text file named <code>compile.exe</code> with this content
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
make > compileResult.txt
</pre>
Create a text file named <code>compile.bat</code> with this content
<pre>
compile.exe
more compileResult.txt
</pre>
use this <code>compile.bat</code> in Tools->Configure User Tools

==Known Bugs==

* Internet Explorer within EditPlus does not work.
* Tools > Preferences does not seem to work in some versions of Wine, and in fact, may cause it to freeze. If this is the case in your version and you need to edit your preferences, you might try:
*# upgrading your version of Wine
*# access the Preferences dialog through Project > Manage Project > Edit Project
*# hand edit the configuration files located in the installation directory (and have a good laugh at the serious misspellings in some of those files). Installation files are usually located in a path like <pre>~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EditPlus 2/</pre>
* If you happen to be using Synergy at the same time that you're running EditPlus through Wine, and you copy something on a connected Windows box and bring the mouse focus back to Linux, then move the mouse over an open document in EditPlus, EditPlus will crash. It is probably extremely unlikely that you would happen to be running this specific system setup, so this bug will probably not apply to you. Copying and pasting between EditPlus and native Linux programs on the same machine does not appear to be an issue. Note: This appears to be working with 3.10, Ubuntu Intrepid, and Quick Synergy.
* ''Ctrl S'' for '''Save''' may switch between two open Wine apps with some wine configurations. To workaround this, you can:
*# change the Editplus hot key for '''Save''' one of two methods:
*## use the Preferences dialog to change the key binding
*## edit the Editplus configuration file ''default.key'' in the installation directory
*# change the wine hot key (tutorial coming soon)
* Saving larger files over ftp might result in the ftp dialog hanging at 100% with some configurations. The newer wine releases still give you a chance to push the cancel button which after some time will give you a message "cancelled by user" whereas with earlier version all you could do is terminate Editplus.
* Opening a file may mess up the window drawing under Wine. There are a few ways to correct this (hitting Enter usually works, although this won't work on read-only files if you've set them to be uneditable. The best solution I've found is Alt-D-X (Refresh STX), which redraws the window. You can bind this to a more handy keystroke (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Z) and just get used to hitting it each time you open a file. There might be a better solution out there...

==Linux/BSD Alternatives==
If EditPlus under WINE is unacceptable to you, there are Linux/BSD text editors with features comparable to EditPlus.

===Fixing the keyboard shortcuts===

You may not have realized it in Windows, but under Linux it can be handy to change some default keybindings (e.g. Ctrl+W to close a tab instead of Ctrl+F4). Use Document > Permanent Settings > Keyboard to do this.

===SFTP===

This tip not only applies to EditPlus, but ANY *nix app. First, install Fuse[http://fuse.sourceforge.net/]. Then install the Fuse filesystem SSHFS [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html]. Now you can mount SFTP at a normal mount-point and open/save files just like you would to a local directory.

==User tools==

If you need to capture the output of your User Tools (Tools->Configure User Tools), you may have problems (at least with wine version 0.9.46). It seems that wine does not redirect well the output of the programs. The only output from the command line that can be redirected to EditPlus are Windows commands like "dir" or "more". A workarround is the following:
*Create a linux shell script with an .exe extension. This shell script must call the aplication you want to execute and write anything interesting in a temporary text file.
*Create a .bat that calls the previous .exe and prints the temporary text file with <code>more</code>.

For example, to capture the output of <code>make</code> you can do the following:

Create a text file named <code>compile.exe</code> with this content
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
make > compileResult.txt
</pre>
Create a text file named <code>compile.bat</code> with this content
<pre>
compile.exe
more compileResult.txt
</pre>
use this <code>compile.bat</code> in Tools->Configure User Tools

==Known Bugs==

* Internet Explorer within EditPlus does not work.
* Tools > Preferences does not seem to work in some versions of Wine, and in fact, may cause it to freeze. If this is the case in your version and you need to edit your preferences, you might try:
*# upgrading your version of Wine
*# access the Preferences dialog through Project > Manage Project > Edit Project
*# hand edit the configuration files located in the installation directory (and have a good laugh at the serious misspellings in some of those files). Installation files are usually located in a path like <pre>~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EditPlus 2/</pre>
* If you happen to be using Synergy at the same time that you're running EditPlus through Wine, and you copy something on a connected Windows box and bring the mouse focus back to Linux, then move the mouse over an open document in EditPlus, EditPlus will crash. It is probably extremely unlikely that you would happen to be running this specific system setup, so this bug will probably not apply to you. Copying and pasting between EditPlus and native Linux programs on the same machine does not appear to be an issue.
* ''Ctrl S'' for '''Save''' may switch between two open Wine apps with some wine configurations. To workaround this, you can:
*# change the Editplus hot key for '''Save''' one of two methods:
*## use the Preferences dialog to change the key binding
*## edit the Editplus configuration file ''default.key'' in the installation directory
*# change the wine hot key (tutorial coming soon)
* Saving larger files over ftp might result in the ftp dialog hanging at 100% with some configurations. The newer wine releases still give you a chance to push the cancel button which after some time will give you a message "cancelled by user" whereas with earlier version all you could do is terminate Editplus.
* Opening a file may mess up the window drawing under Wine. There are a few ways to correct this (hitting Enter usually works, although this won't work on read-only files if you've set them to be uneditable. The best solution I've found is Alt-D-X (Refresh STX), which redraws the window. You can bind this to a more handy keystroke (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Z) and just get used to hitting it each time you open a file. There might be a better solution out there...

==Linux/BSD Alternatives==
If EditPlus under WINE is unacceptable to you, there are Linux/BSD text editors with features comparable to EditPlus.

Running on Linux

2008-05-13T17:54:37Z

Justinsomnia: /* Windows Theme */

==Introduction==
Did you realize that your favorite text editor runs on Linux? Well, now you know, so if you've been thinking about making the switch, you're out of excuses.

PS: This means, using DarWine, you can run this fine program on the Mac OS X. How cool is that?

==Installation Instructions==

To get EditPlus working under Linux, you need to install the popular '''Wine''' software. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. To install Wine on Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux, enter the following at the command line:

apt-get install wine

In a terminal window, download the latest [http://www.editplus.com/download.html EditPlus Windows installer] in your home directory.

cd ~
wget <nowiki>ftp://ftp.editplus.com/epp301_en.exe</nowiki>

Then invoke this command to start the installation process:

wine ./epp301_en.exe

Once it's installed, go to where EditPlus was installed, e.g.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EditPlus\ 2/

and run this command:

wine ./editplus.exe

It should start running and you should be good to go.

As an alternative, if you have a full installation of '''wine''' on your Linux system, shortcuts are auto-configured for Windows '''.EXE''' files. Double-clicking on '''epp230_en.exe''' in your desktop file browser will auto-magically bring up '''wine''' with the program loaded.

[[Image:Editplus-on-ubuntu.png|center|frame|EditPlus running under Wine on Ubuntu]]

==Post-Install Tips==

===Create a shortcut===

''Note: Wine should do this automatically if you choose to add an icon to your desktop at the end of the installation.''

You can create a desktop shortcut to EditPlus, so that clicking the icon will bring it up in wine.

Instructions for Gnome:
# Download the EditPlus icon [[Image:Editplus.png]] to your desktop
# Right click on the Desktop and select "Create Launcher..."
# Set the name to: <code>EditPlus</code>
# Set the command to: <code>wine "C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\editplus.exe"</code>
# Click the "No Icon" button and select the EditPlus icon you downloaded

===Fonts===

If your Wine apps are using the ugly font that it picks by default, install the Microsoft Tahoma font. It can be downloaded [http://download.microsoft.com/download/office97pro/fonts/1/W95/EN-US/tahoma32.exe here]. Then simply run:

wine ./tahoma32.exe

and follow the prompts. '''Note:''' installing this font may cause the column marker not display the correct current column. Reason currently unknown.

If you have Debian or a Debian-based distro (such as Ubuntu), you should be able to download and install [http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx Microsoft's Core Web Fonts] through "apt-get":

apt-get install msttcorefonts

If you are running Gentoo Linux, you can simply install Windows fonts through a package in portage, called corefonts:

emerge -av corefonts

For other fonts, see [[Fonts]].

===Windows Theme===

The default Windows widgets (buttons, menus, etc) that come with Wine look pretty ugly compared to a nicely polished Gnome interface. Fear not! You can [http://winehq.org/docs/en/wineusr-guide.html#AEN286 change the theme that Wine uses] to make it look more Gnome/WinXP-like.

Create a directory for the theme

mkdir -p ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale

Download the Royale theme (or you can download manually from [http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/Royale-Theme-for-WinXP.shtml here])

wget <nowiki>http://download1us.softpedia.com/dl/fb2e89fe88318778f32fd4f1a74f1b90/4829d5ba/100013027/software/desktop/Royale_theme.zip</nowiki>

Unzip the downloaded file and move into the directory above

unzip Royale_theme.zip; cp Royale\ Theme\ for\ Win\ XP.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale

Install Royale theme and follow the prompts

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale/Royale\ Theme\ for\ Win\ XP.exe

Run <code>winecfg</code>, under the "Desktop Integration" tab, select the "Media Center style" as the Theme

Running on Linux

2008-04-04T21:07:20Z

Justinsomnia: /* Windows Theme */

==Introduction==
Did you realize that your favorite text editor runs on Linux? Well, now you know, so if you've been thinking about making the switch, you're out of excuses.

PS: This means, using DarWine, you can run this fine program on the Mac OS X. How cool is that?

==Installation Instructions==

To get EditPlus working under Linux, you need to install the popular '''Wine''' software. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. To install Wine on Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux, enter the following at the command line:

apt-get install wine

In a terminal window, download the latest [http://www.editplus.com/download.html EditPlus Windows installer] in your home directory.

cd ~
wget <nowiki>ftp://ftp.editplus.com/epp300_en.exe</nowiki>

Then invoke this command to start the installation process:

wine ./epp300_en.exe

Once it's installed, go to where EditPlus was installed, e.g.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EditPlus\ 2/

and run this command:

wine ./editplus.exe

It should start running and you should be good to go.

As an alternative, if you have a full installation of '''wine''' on your Linux system, shortcuts are auto-configured for Windows '''.EXE''' files. Double-clicking on '''epp230_en.exe''' in your desktop file browser will auto-magically bring up '''wine''' with the program loaded.

[[Image:Editplus-on-ubuntu.png|center|frame|EditPlus running under Wine on Ubuntu]]

==Post-Install Tips==

===Create a shortcut===

''Note: Wine should do this automatically if you choose to add an icon to your desktop at the end of the installation.''

You can create a desktop shortcut to EditPlus, so that clicking the icon will bring it up in wine.

Instructions for Gnome:
# Download the EditPlus icon [[Image:Editplus.png]] to your desktop
# Right click on the Desktop and select "Create Launcher..."
# Set the name to: <code>EditPlus</code>
# Set the command to: <code>wine "C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\editplus.exe"</code>
# Click the "No Icon" button and select the EditPlus icon you downloaded

===Fonts===

If your Wine apps are using the ugly font that it picks by default, install the Microsoft Tahoma font. It can be downloaded [http://download.microsoft.com/download/office97pro/fonts/1/W95/EN-US/tahoma32.exe here]. Then simply run:

wine ./tahoma32.exe

and follow the prompts. '''Note:''' installing this font may cause the column marker not display the correct current column. Reason currently unknown.

If you have Debian or a Debian-based distro (such as Ubuntu), you should be able to download and install [http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx Microsoft's Core Web Fonts] through "apt-get":

apt-get install msttcorefonts

If you are running Gentoo Linux, you can simply install Windows fonts through a package in portage, called corefonts:

emerge -av corefonts

For other fonts, see [[Fonts]].

===Windows Theme===

The default Windows widgets (buttons, menus, etc) that come with Wine look pretty ugly compared to a nicely polished Gnome interface. Fear not! You can [http://winehq.org/docs/en/wineusr-guide.html#AEN286 change the theme that Wine uses] to make it look more Gnome/WinXP-like.

Create a directory for the theme

mkdir -p ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale

Download the Royale theme (or you can download manually from [http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/Royale-Theme-for-WinXP.shtml here])

wget http://download.softpedia.com/dl/0d15b697c444055149b9fb0321b76a3f/45ea0d77/100013027/software/desktop/Royale_theme.zip

Unzip the downloaded file and move into the directory above

unzip Royale_theme.zip; cp Royale\ Theme\ for\ Win\ XP.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale

Install Royale theme and follow the prompts

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale/Royale\ Theme\ for\ Win\ XP.exe

Run <code>winecfg</code>, under the "Desktop Integration" tab, select the "Media Center style" as the Theme

[[Image:EditPlus-on-Ubuntu-Royale.png|center|frame|EditPlus running under Wine on Ubuntu with the Royale Theme]]

===Fixing the keyboard shortcuts===

You may not have realized it in Windows, but under Linux it can be handy to change some default keybindings (e.g. Ctrl+W to close a tab instead of Ctrl+F4). Use Document > Permanent Settings > Keyboard to do this.

===SFTP===

This tip not only applies to EditPlus, but ANY *nix app. First, install Fuse[http://fuse.sourceforge.net/]. Then install the Fuse filesystem SSHFS [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html]. Now you can mount SFTP at a normal mount-point and open/save files just like you would to a local directory.

==User tools==

If you need to capture the output of your User Tools (Tools->Configure User Tools), you may have problems (at least with wine version 0.9.46). It seems that wine does not redirect well the output of the programs. The only output from the command line that can be redirected to EditPlus are Windows commands like "dir" or "more". A workarround is the following:
*Create a linux shell script with an .exe extension. This shell script must call the aplication you want to execute and write anything interesting in a temporary text file.
*Create a .bat that calls the previous .exe and prints the temporary text file with <code>more</code>.

For example, to capture the output of <code>make</code> you can do the following:

Create a text file named <code>compile.exe</code> with this content
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
make > compileResult.txt
</pre>
Create a text file named <code>compile.bat</code> with this content
<pre>
compile.exe
more compileResult.txt
</pre>
use this <code>compile.bat</code> in Tools->Configure User Tools

==Known Bugs==

* Internet Explorer within EditPlus does not work.
* Tools > Preferences does not seem to work in some versions of Wine, and in fact, may cause it to freeze. If this is the case in your version and you need to edit your preferences, you might try:
*# upgrading your version of Wine
*# access the Preferences dialog through Project > Manage Project > Edit Project
*# hand edit the configuration files located in the installation directory (and have a good laugh at the serious misspellings in some of those files). Installation files are usually located in a path like <pre>~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EditPlus 2/</pre>
* If you happen to be using Synergy at the same time that you're running EditPlus through Wine, and you copy something on a connected Windows box and bring the mouse focus back to Linux, then move the mouse over an open document in EditPlus, EditPlus will crash. It is probably extremely unlikely that you would happen to be running this specific system setup, so this bug will probably not apply to you. Copying and pasting between EditPlus and native Linux programs on the same machine does not appear to be an issue.
* ''Ctrl S'' for '''Save''' may switch between two open Wine apps with some wine configurations. To workaround this, you can:
*# change the Editplus hot key for '''Save''' one of two methods:
*## use the Preferences dialog to change the key binding
*## edit the Editplus configuration file ''default.key'' in the installation directory
*# change the wine hot key (tutorial coming soon)
* Saving larger files over ftp might result in the ftp dialog hanging at 100% with some configurations. The newer wine releases still give you a chance to push the cancel button which after some time will give you a message "cancelled by user" whereas with earlier version all you could do is terminate Editplus.
* Opening a file may mess up the window drawing under Wine. There are a few ways to correct this (hitting Enter usually works, although this won't work on read-only files if you've set them to be uneditable. The best solution I've found is Alt-D-X (Refresh STX), which redraws the window.

* ''Ctrl S'' for '''Save''' may switch between two open Wine apps with some wine configurations. To workaround this, you can:
*# change the Editplus hot key for '''Save''' one of two methods:

*# change the wine hot key (tutorial coming soon)
* Saving larger files over ftp might result in the ftp dialog hanging at 100% with some configurations. The newer wine releases still give you a chance to push the cancel button which after some time will give you a message "cancelled by user" whereas with earlier version all you could do is terminate Editplus.

There are a few ways to correct this (hitting Enter usually works, although this won't work on read-only files if you've set them to be uneditable. The best solution I've found is Alt-D-X (Refresh STX), which redraws the window.

Justinsomnia: EditPlus on Ubuntu under Wine with the Royale theme

EditPlus on Ubuntu under Wine with the Royale theme

Running on Linux

2006-11-15T01:19:01Z

Justinsomnia: /* Windows Theme */

==Introduction==
Did you realize that your favorite text editor runs on Linux? Well, now you know, so if you've been thinking about making the switch, you're out of excuses.

==Installation Instructions==

To get EditPlus working under Linux, you need to install the popular '''Wine''' software. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. To install Wine on Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux, enter the following at the command line:

apt-get install wine

In a terminal window, download the latest [http://www.editplus.com/download.html EditPlus Windows installer] in your home directory.

cd ~
wget <nowiki>ftp://ftp.editplus.com/epp230_en.exe</nowiki>

Then invoke this command to start the installation process:

wine ./epp230_en.exe

Once it's installed, go to where EditPlus was installed, e.g.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EditPlus\ 2/

and run this command:

wine ./editplus.exe

It should start running and you should be good to go.

As an alternative, if you have a full installation of '''wine''' on your Linux system, shortcuts are auto-configured for Windows '''.EXE''' files. Double-clicking on '''epp230_en.exe''' in your desktop file browser will auto-magically bring up '''wine''' with the program loaded.

[[Image:Editplus-on-ubuntu.png|center|frame|EditPlus running under Wine on Ubuntu]]

==Post-Install Tips==

===Create a shortcut===

You can create a desktop shortcut to EditPlus, so that clicking the icon will bring it up in wine.

Instructions for Gnome:
# Download the EditPlus icon [[Image:Editplus.png]] to your desktop
# Right click on the Desktop and select "Create Launcher..."
# Set the name to: <code>EditPlus</code>
# Set the command to: <code>wine "C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\ediplus.exe"</code>
# Click the "No Icon" button and select the EditPlus icon you downloaded

===Fonts===

If your Wine apps are using the ugly font that it picks by default, install the Microsoft Tahoma font. It can be downloaded [http://download.microsoft.com/download/office97pro/fonts/1/W95/EN-US/tahoma32.exe here]. Then simply run:

wine ./tahoma32.exe

and follow the prompts. '''Note:''' installing this font may cause the column marker not display the correct current column. Reason currently unknown.

If you have Debian or a Debian-based distro (such as Ubuntu), you should be able to download and install [http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx Microsoft's Core Web Fonts] through "apt-get":

apt-get install msttcorefonts

If you are running Gentoo Linux, you can simply install Windows fonts through a package in portage, called corefonts:

emerge -av corefonts

===Windows Theme===

The default Windows widgets (buttons, menus, etc) that come with Wine look pretty ugly compared to a nicely polished Gnome interface. Fear not! You can [http://winehq.org/docs/en/wineusr-guide.html#AEN286 change the theme that Wine uses] to make it look more Gnome/WinXP-like.

# Create a directory for the theme: <code>mkdir -p ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/themes/royale</code>
# Download the Royale theme [http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/Royale-Theme-for-WinXP.shtml here]
# Unzip the downloaded file and copy <code>Royale Theme for Win XP.exe</code> into the directory above
# From that directory, run <code>wine ./Royale\ Theme\ for\ Win\ XP.exe</code> and follow the prompts
# Run <code>winecfg</code>, select the Appearance tab, select the Royale theme

===Fixing the keyboard shortcuts===

You may not have realized it in Windows, but under Linux it can be handy to change some default keybindings (e.g. Ctrl+W to close a tab instead of Ctrl+F4). Use Document > Permanent Settings > Keyboard to do this.

===SFTP===

This tip not only applies to EditPlus, but ANY *nix app. First, install Fuse[http://fuse.sourceforge.net/]. Then install the Fuse filesystem SSHFS [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html]. Now you can mount SFTP at a normal mount-point and open/save files just like you would to a local directory.

==Known Bugs==

* Internet Explorer within EditPlus does not work.
* Tools > Preferences does not seem to work in some versions of Wine, and in fact, may cause it to freeze. If this is the case in your version and you need to edit your preferences, you might try:
*# upgrading your version of Wine
*# access the Preferences dialog through Project > Manage Project > Edit Project
*# hand edit the configuration files located in the installation directory (and have a good laugh at the serious misspellings in some of those files). Installation files are usually located in a path like <pre>~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EditPlus 2/</pre>
* If you happen to be using Synergy at the same time that you're running EditPlus through Wine, and you copy something on a connected Windows box and bring the mouse focus back to Linux, then move the mouse over an open document in EditPlus, EditPlus will crash. It is probably extremely unlikely that you would happen to be running this specific system setup, so this bug will probably not apply to you. Copying and pasting between EditPlus and native Linux programs on the same machine does not appear to be an issue.
* ''Ctrl S'' for '''Save''' may switch between two open Wine apps with some wine configurations. To workaround this, you can:
*# change the Editplus hot key for '''Save''' one of two methods:

==Introduction==
Did you realize that your favorite text editor runs on Linux? Well, now you know, so if you've been thinking about making the switch, you're out of excuses.

==Installation Instructions==

To get EditPlus working under Linux, you need to install the popular '''Wine''' software. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. To install Wine on Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux, enter the following at the command line:

apt-get install wine

In a terminal window, download the latest [http://www.editplus.com/download.html EditPlus Windows installer] in your home directory.

cd ~
wget <nowiki>ftp://ftp.editplus.com/epp230_en.exe</nowiki>

Then invoke this command to start the installation process:

wine ./epp230_en.exe

Once it's installed, go to where EditPlus was installed, e.g.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EditPlus\ 2/

and run this command:

wine ./editplus.exe

It should start running and you should be good to go.

As an alternative, if you have a full installation of '''wine''' on your Linux system, shortcuts are auto-configured for Windows '''.EXE''' files. Double-clicking on '''epp230_en.exe''' in your desktop file browser will auto-magically bring up '''wine''' with the program loaded.

# Download the EditPlus icon [[Image:Editplus.png]] to your desktop
# Right click on the Desktop and select "Create Launcher..."
# Set the name to: <code>EditPlus</code>
# Set the command to: <code>wine "C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\ediplus.exe"</code>
# Click the "No Icon" button and select the EditPlus icon you downloaded

===Fonts===

If your Wine apps are using the ugly font that it picks by default, install the Microsoft Tahoma font. It can be downloaded [http://download.microsoft.com/download/office97pro/fonts/1/W95/EN-US/tahoma32.exe here]. Simply run:

wine ./tahoma32.exe

and follow the prompts.

'''Note:''' installing this font may cause the column marker not display the correct current column. Reason currently unknown.

===Fonts (the Debian way)===

If you have Debian or a Debian-based distro (such as Ubuntu), you should be able to download and install this font (and other TrueType fonts) through "apt-get":<pre>apt-get install msttcorefonts</pre>Or, if not available in your current repository, you can download the debian package fromand then install it with:<pre>dpkg -i msttcorefonts_1.2_all.deb</pre>

===Fonts (the Gentoo way)===
If you are running Gentoo Linux, you can simply install Windows fonts through a package in portage, called corefonts:<pre>emerge -av corefonts</pre>

===Fixing the keyboard shortcuts===
You may not have realised it in Windows, but under Linux it can be handy to change some default keybindings (e.g. Ctrl+W to close a tab instead of Ctrl+F4). Use Document -> Settings -> Keyboard to do this.

This tip not only applies to EditPlus, but ANY *nix app. First, install Fuse[http://fuse.sourceforge.net/]. Then install the Fuse filesystem SSHFS [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html]. Now you can mount SFTP at a normal mount-point and open/save files just like you would to a local directory.

==Known Bugs==

* Internet Explorer within EditPlus does not work.
* Tools > Preferences does not seem to work in some versions of Wine, and in fact, may cause it to freeze. If this is the case in your version and you need to edit your preferences, you might try:
*# upgrading your version of Wine
*# access the Preferences dialog through Project > Manage Project > Edit Project
*# hand edit the configuration files located in the installation directory (and have a good laugh at the serious misspellings in some of those files). Installation files are usually located in a path like <pre>~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EditPlus 2/</pre>
* If you happen to be using Synergy at the same time that you're running EditPlus through Wine, and you copy something on a connected Windows box and bring the mouse focus back to Linux, then move the mouse over an open document in EditPlus, EditPlus will crash. It is probably extremely unlikely that you would happen to be running this specific system setup, so this bug will probably not apply to you. Copying and pasting between EditPlus and native Linux programs on the same machine does not appear to be an issue.
* ''Ctrl S'' for '''Save''' may switch between two open Wine apps with some wine configurations. To workaround this, you can:
*# change the Editplus hot key for '''Save''' one of two methods:
*## use the Preferences dialog to change the key binding
*## edit the Editplus configuration file ''default.key'' in the installation directory
*# change the wine hot key (tutorial coming soon)
* Saving larger files over ftp might result in the ftp dialog hanging at 100% with some configurations. The newer wine releases still give you a chance to push the cancel button which after some time will give you a message "cancelled by user" whereas with earlier version all you could do is terminate Editplus.
* Opening a file may mess up the window drawing under Wine. There are a few ways to correct this (hitting Enter usually works, although this won't work on read-only files if you've set them to be uneditable. The best solution I've found is Alt-D-X (Refresh STX), which redraws the window. You can bind this to a more handy keystroke (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Z) and just get used to hitting it each time you open a file. There might be a better solution out there...

==Linux/BSD Alternatives==

Justinsomnia: /* Fonts */

==Introduction==
Did you realize that your favorite text editor runs on Linux? Well, now you know, so if you've been thinking about making the switch, you're out of excuses.

==Installation Instructions==

To get EditPlus working under Linux, you need to install the popular '''Wine''' software. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. To install Wine on Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux, enter the following at the command line:

apt-get install wine

In a terminal window, download the latest [http://www.editplus.com/download.html EditPlus Windows installer] in your home directory.

cd ~
wget <nowiki>ftp://ftp.editplus.com/epp230_en.exe</nowiki>

Then invoke this command to start the installation process:

wine ./epp230_en.exe

Once it's installed, go to where EditPlus was installed, e.g.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EditPlus\ 2/

and run this command:

wine ./editplus.exe

It should start running and you should be good to go.

As an alternative, if you have a full installation of '''wine''' on your Linux system, shortcuts are auto-configured for Windows '''.EXE''' files. Double-clicking on '''epp230_en.exe''' in your desktop file browser will auto-magically bring up '''wine''' with the program loaded.

[[Image:Editplus-on-ubuntu.png|center|frame|EditPlus running under Wine on Ubuntu]]

==Post-Install Tips==

===Create a shortcut===

You can create a desktop shortcut to EditPlus, so that clicking the icon will bring it up in wine.

Instructions for Gnome:
# Download the EditPlus icon [[Image:Editplus.png]] to your desktop
# Right click on the Desktop and select "Create Launcher..."
# Set the name to: <code>EditPlus</code>
# Set the command to: <code>wine "C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\ediplus.exe"</code>
# Click the "No Icon" button and select the EditPlus icon you downloaded

===Fonts===

If your Wine apps are using the ugly font that it picks by default, install the Microsoft Tahoma font. It can be downloaded Here. Simply run:

wine ./tahoma32.exe

and follow the prompts.

'''Note:''' installing this font may cause the column marker not display the correct current column. Reason currently unknown.

===Fonts (the Debian way)===

If you have Debian or a Debian-based distro (such as Ubuntu), you should be able to download and install this font (and other TrueType fonts) through "apt-get":<pre>apt-get install msttcorefonts</pre>Or, if not available in your current repository, you can download the debian package fromand then install it with:<pre>dpkg -i msttcorefonts_1.2_all.deb</pre>

===Fonts (the Gentoo way)===
If you are running Gentoo Linux, you can simply install Windows fonts through a package in portage, called corefonts:<pre>emerge -av corefonts</pre>

===Fixing the keyboard shortcuts===
You may not have realised it in Windows, but under Linux it can be handy to change some default keybindings (e.g. Ctrl+W to close a tab instead of Ctrl+F4). Use Document -> Settings -> Keyboard to do this.

===SFTP===
This tip not only applies to EditPlus, but ANY *nix app. First, install Fuse[http://fuse.sourceforge.net/]. Then install the Fuse filesystem SSHFS [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html]. Now you can mount SFTP at a normal mount-point and open/save files just like you would to a local directory.

*# change the wine hot key (tutorial coming soon)
* Saving larger files over ftp might result in the ftp dialog hanging at 100% with some configurations. The newer wine releases still give you a chance to push the cancel button which after some time will give you a message "cancelled by user" whereas with earlier version all you could do is terminate Editplus.
* Opening a file may mess up the window drawing under Wine. There are a few ways to correct this (hitting Enter usually works, although this won't work on read-only files if you've set them to be uneditable. The best solution I've found is Alt-D-X (Refresh STX), which redraws the window. You can bind this to a more handy keystroke (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Z) and just get used to hitting it each time you open a file. There might be a better solution out there...

==Linux/BSD Alternatives==
If EditPlus under WINE is unacceptable to you, there are Linux/BSD text editors with features comparable to EditPlus.

Justinsomnia: /* Installation Instructions */

==Introduction==
Did you realize that your favorite text editor runs on Linux? Well, now you know, so if you've been thinking about making the switch, you're out of excuses.

==Installation Instructions==

To get EditPlus working under Linux, you need to install the popular '''Wine''' software. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. To install Wine on Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux, enter the following at the command line:

apt-get install wine

Download the latest [http://www.editplus.com/download.html EditPlus Windows installer].

wget <nowiki>ftp://ftp.editplus.com/epp230_en.exe</nowiki>

Then, in a terminal window, browse to the directory where the EditPlus file was downloaded and invoke this command to start the installation process:

wine ./epp230_en.exe

Once it's installed, find where EditPlus was installed, e.g.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EditPlus\ 2/

and invoke this command:

wine ./editplus.exe

It should start running and you should be good to go.

As an alternative, if you have a full installation of '''wine''' on your Linux system, shortcuts are auto-configured for Windows '''.EXE''' files. Double-clicking on '''epp230_en.exe''' in your desktop file browser will auto-magically bring up '''wine''' with the program loaded.

You can also create a desktop shortcut to the '''.EXE''' program, so that clicking on that icon will bring up EditPlus (in '''wine''') also.

[[Image:Editplus-on-ubuntu.png|left|frame|EditPlus running under Wine on Ubuntu]]

==Post-Install Tips==

===Fonts===

If your Wine apps are using the ugly font that it picks by default, install Microsoft Tahoma font. It can be downloaded HereSimply run: <pre>wine ./tahoma32.exe</pre>Simply follow the prompts.'''Note:''' installing this font may cause the column marker not display the correct current column.Reason currently unknown.----

===Fonts (the Debian way)===

If you have Debian or a Debian-based distro (such as Ubuntu), you should be able to download and install this font (and other TrueType fonts) through "apt-get":<pre>apt-get install msttcorefonts</pre>Or, if not available in your current repository, you can download the debian package fromand then install it with:<pre>dpkg -i msttcorefonts_1.2_all.deb</pre>

===Fonts (the Gentoo way)===
If you are running Gentoo Linux, you can simply install Windows fonts through a package in portage, called corefonts:<pre>emerge -av corefonts</pre>

===Fixing the keyboard shortcuts===
You may not have realised it in Windows, but under Linux it can be handy to change some default keybindings (e.g. Ctrl+W to close a tab instead of Ctrl+F4). Use Document -> Settings -> Keyboard to do this.

===SFTP===
This tip not only applies to EditPlus, but ANY *nix app. First, install Fuse[http://fuse.sourceforge.net/]. Then install the Fuse filesystem SSHFS [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html]. Now you can mount SFTP at a normal mount-point and open/save files just like you would to a local directory.

==Known Bugs==

* Internet Explorer within EditPlus does not work.
* Tools > Preferences does not seem to work in some versions of Wine, and in fact, may cause it to freeze. If this is the case in your version and you need to edit your preferences, you might try:
*# upgrading your version of Wine
*# access the Preferences dialog through Project > Manage Project > Edit Project
*# hand edit the configuration files located in the installation directory (and have a good laugh at the serious misspellings in some of those files). Installation files are usually located in a path like <pre>~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EditPlus 2/</pre>
* If you happen to be using Synergy at the same time that you're running EditPlus through Wine, and you copy something on a connected Windows box and bring the mouse focus back to Linux, then move the mouse over an open document in EditPlus, EditPlus will crash. It is probably extremely unlikely that you would happen to be running this specific system setup, so this bug will probably not apply to you. Copying and pasting between EditPlus and native Linux programs on the same machine does not appear to be an issue.

*# change the Editplus hot key for '''Save''' one of two methods:
*## use the Preferences dialog to change the key binding
*## edit the Editplus configuration file ''default.key'' in the installation directory
*# change the wine hot key (tutorial coming soon)
* Saving larger files over ftp might result in the ftp dialog hanging at 100% with some configurations. The newer wine releases still give you a chance to push the cancel button which after some time will give you a message "cancelled by user" whereas with earlier version all you could do is terminate Editplus.

Regular Expressions

2006-08-15T17:50:18Z

Justinsomnia: /* Search and Replace */ rewrote

This page exists as a resource for '''Regular Expressions''' (also shortened as ''RegEx'' or ''RegExp'') frequently used in EditPlus. In order to learn more about the particulars of creating a regular expression in EditPlus, see [[regular expression syntax]]. Also note that [[Regular expression syntax (unsupported)|some standard regular expressions are currently not supported]].

Note: EditPlus only supports [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX POSIX]] Regular Expressions, not [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCRE PCRE]] (Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions), which means there are no back-references, no look-aheads, no fancy quantifiers, and no convenient character group syntax]]. Just your basic ^, $, +, *, ?, [ ], [^ ], syntax. Also note that +/* are always greedy.

== Find various forms of a word ==
fast(er|est)
For example: this reg. expression '''th(is|e|at)''' will find the words This, The, and That

== Find a specific tag ==
Here is a useful regular expression for dealing with XML or HTML files - it matches an opening, closing or singular blink tag. Simply replace blink with your tag of choice.

<(/?)(blink)( [^>]*)?(/?)>

Matches:
<blink>
<blink align="center">
</blink>
<blink garbage="true"/>
Does not match:
<blinking>

To use it in a search and replace (for instance, replace all blink tags with spans) use the following as the replace string:
<\1span\3\4>

== Search and Replace ==

A common example of search and replace using regular expressions is replacing a variable or unknown string inside some known text, for example replacing ''foo'', ''goo'', ''boo'', etc. in the tag below:

<tag src="''foo''">
<tag src="''goo''">
<tag src="''boo''">
...

with ''bar'':

<tag src="''bar''">

With normal search and replace, not only would you have to exhaustively know what you're searching for, but you'd also end up replacing all instances of ''foo''/''goo''/''boo'' outside of the <code><tag src="''xxx''"></code> context.

With the regular expression option checked, what you need to search for is:

<tag src=".*">

and replace with:

<tag src="''bar''">
Note: <code>.*</code> means a string of any characters zero or more in length.

Justinsomnia: copied from features page

''This page could use some cleanup''

When you load a project, you are loading all related files in "one click".
 

goto Project --> Manage Project --> Edit Project
 

If you have never created a project before, there will be an empty line
(that is default project).
 

At the first time you can do either:
 

a) create an empty project, or 
b) load/create new file/s, or 
c) select current/all opened files to include in the current selected project.
 

After that you can add/eliminate/modify/sort files in the project.
 

The special thing about it, is the files can be different types and/or located
in different directories.
 

Navigation among the files of the project can be done using the bottom tabs
and/or by using the left bottom icon folder and/or from the Project item in the top tool bar.
 

All files pertaining to a project can be loaded and managed at once with 1 click! (well, ...)
 

1) go to Project --> Select Project (and DO SELECT the desired project)
 
2) go to Project --> Load Project (to actually load the project)
 

(... that were 6 clicks actually!)
 

At the end of editing session you can close all the files in the project
with one click (rhetorical sense)
 

Project --> Manage Project ---> Close Project or
 
folder icon (at bottom left) ---> Manage Project ---> Close Project
 

If you are in a hurry and want a real 1 click quit, go to the red button in the upper task bar.

Features

2006-08-15T17:27:32Z

Justinsomnia: /* Managing Projects */

EditPlus provides a number of powerful and extensible features that make it an excellent text editor for development on the Windows platform. Some of the major features are described below.

==Syntax Highlighting==
One of the primary reasons to use EditPlus instead of a text editor like Notepad is its ability to highlight the syntax of many common markup, scripting, and programming languages, including HTML, CSS, PHP, ASP, Perl, C/C++, Java, JavaScript, VBScript, XML, and .NET Config "out of the box." In addition, users can create custom syntax files, many of which are freely available to the community [http://www.editplus.com/files.html here].

*See [[syntax file format]] to create a custom syntax (.stx) file or to modify an existing one.
*See [[syntax files]] to download syntax files.

==Auto-completion==
Auto-completion is a time-saving feature which expands a ''short abbreviation'' into a ''complete string''. For example, if you type "if" followed by a space in a Perl file, EditPlus replaces it with:

if () {
}

and positions your cursor between the parenthesis. EditPlus comes with auto-completion files for HTML, Perl, and C/C++ by default.

*See [[auto-completion file format]] to create a custom auto-completion (.acp) file or to modify an existing one.
*See [[auto-completion files]] to download auto-completion files.

==Cliptext Sidebar==
The Cliptext Sidebar displays a list of keywords that can be double-clicked (or dragged) to insert frequently used text in a file. EditPlus comes with cliptext libraries for HTML 3.2, HTML 4, CSS1, CSS2, ANSI Characters, and Control Characters. To show the cliptext sidebar, press Alt+Shift+1 or the cliptext button on the toolbar.

*See [[cliptext file format]] to create a custom cliptext (.ctl) file or to modify an existing one.
*See [[cliptext files]] to download auto-completion files.

==Templates==
When creating a new file of specific type, EditPlus can be configured to add some stock content to the new file (such as a file header and footer) rather than leaving it completely blank. The "installed" templates determine which file types show up under File > New, including C/C++, HTML, Java, and Perl, and Java by default.

*See [[template file format]] to create a custom template file or to modify an existing one.
*See [[template files]] to download template files.

==HTML Toolbar==
The HTML Toolbar provides buttons for inserting common HTML tags, picking colors and character entities, and generating tables. To hide or display the HTML Toolbar, goto View > Toolbars/Views and select "HTML Toolbar". The HTML Toolbar can be customized by going to Tools > Preferences > Tools > Toolbar.

*See [[HTML Toolbar]] for suggestions on further customizing the toolbar's look and output.

==User Tools==
User Tools are external programs that be run from within EditPlus via the [[User Toolbar]].
*See [[User Tools]] for examples.
*See [[Writing a text filter]] for information on creating your own user tool.

==Function Lists==
EditPlus provides the ability to display a dynamic '''Function List''' for a file from Search > Function List (Ctrl+F11). Though EditPlus is configured by default to extract functions for C++, Perl, and similar programming languages, it's not hard to add the same functionality for other file types.

*See [[Function lists]] for examples.

==Regular Expressions==
A regular expression is a pattern (with a special syntax) that can match various text strings. EditPlus has support for some regular expression capabilities built into its Find and Replace functions.

*See [[Regular Expressions]] for examples of commonly used regular expressions.
*See [[Regular expression syntax]] for details on writing regular expressions in EditPlus.

==Integrated FTP==
You can configure EditPlus to open and edit files via [[FTP/SFTP|FTP]] as if they were located on your local file system. However, '''FTP has serious security problems''', primarily the transmission of passwords in plain text over the Internet. It is recommended that you use a program like [[WinSCP]] to access remote files securely using SFTP (secure file transfer over SSH). Many people have also complained that EditPlus's native FTP support is prone to crashing, so save frequently.

*See [[WinSCP]] for information on configuring EditPlus as WinSCP's external editor
*see [http://www.editplus.com/ssh.html FTP through external SSH] for information on tunneling EditPlus's FTP through SSH using (PuTTY).
*Note: '''SFTP option available in latest release'''; [[FTP/SFTP|SFTP]] overcomes the security issue noted above

==Integrated Web Browser==
Seamless web browser (using Internet Explorer) for previewing the content of your HTML document or Java applet without leaving the editor. Browser window also has common browser commands so you can browse Internet web sites as well as local HTML files.

==Managing Projects==

Using projects is an easy way to mantain all the related source files together, like a virtual .zip archive.

* See [[Projects]] for more information

WinSCP

2006-08-15T17:23:54Z

Justinsomnia:

'''WinSCP''' is an open source freeware SFTP client for Windows using SSH. Legacy SCP protocol is also supported. Its main function is safe copying of files between a local and a remote computer.

Though EditPlus does now support SFTP file transfer natively, it sometimes fails to connect to certain types of SFTP servers ''([[FTP/SFTP#SFTP_Fix_for_OpenSSH|see fix]]''). You can configure WinSCP to use EditPlus as an external editor.
Make sure you have WinSCP version 3.7.2 or higher in order for it to work properly with EditPlus. You can download WinSCP [http://winscp.net/eng/download.php here].

==Configure WinSCP to use EditPlus as an External Editor==
#Launch WinSCP
#Check "Advanced Options" in the lower left
#Select "Preferences" in the pane on the left
#Press the "Preferences..." button on the lower right
#Select Editors in the pane on the left
#Click "Add..." in the pane on the right
#Choose "External Editor" and enter the path to your EditPlus executable, followed by an exclamation point-dot-exclamation point e.g. <code>"C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\editplus.exe" !.!</code>
#Check "External editor opens multiple files in one window (process)"

==Cache Password for Background File Transfer==
When you're editing a file opened using WinSCP, and you save that file, by default WinSCP will prompt for your password again. However, you can prevent that from happening by having WinSCP cache your password.
#Launch WinSCP
#Check "Advanced Options" in the lower left
#Select "Preferences" in the pane on the left
#Press the "Preferences..." button on the lower right
#Select Transfer > Background in the pane on the left
#Check "Remember password of main session for background transfers"

HTML Toolbar

2006-08-15T17:13:39Z

Justinsomnia:

Though the '''HTML Toolbar''' can be customized by going to Tools > Preferences > Tools > Toolbar, there are no buttons for newer and frequently used HTML tags (such as <nowiki><div></nowiki> and <nowiki></nowiki>).

==htmlbar.acp==
'''htmlbar.acp''' is an autocomplete file in the EditPlus program directory that dictates what text is outputted when an HTML Toolbar button is pressed. You can modify this file to make it XHTML compliant, for instance, or you could "repurpose" the Underline "U" button to output <nowiki><div></div></nowiki> tags rather than <nowiki></nowiki> tags (which are deprecated in HTML4).

A common modification users make to the default htmlbar.acp file is enabling the paragraph button to generate a closing paragraph tag, necessary for XHTML validation. To do this, edit htmlbar.acp under Program Files/EditPlus 2 and change this:

<pre>#T=P
</pre>

to this:

<pre>#T=P
^!</pre>

Then restart EditPlus.

See [[auto-completion file format]] for more details.

==Resource Hacker==
'''Resource Hacker''' is a freeware utility to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). It can be used to replace the bitmaps within the EditPlus excutable used for the display of toolbar buttons.

# Download [http://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ftp/tools/ResHack.zip Resource Hacker] and install
# While EditPlus is not running, open C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\editplus.exe with Resourse Hacker
# Expand the tree folder that says "Bitmap" and then expand "2000"
# Select "1033" (the toolbar bitmap) and select "Action > Save Bitmap"
# Using Photoshop (or a similar graphics editor), edit the bitmap however you wish, and save it
# In Resource Hacker, select "Action > Replace Bitmap" and point to the directory/filename of the newly edited Toolbar Bitmap
# Once it's replaced, select "File > Save" then open EditPlus... presto! you have a new bar! (Don't worry, Resourse Hacker will make a backup copy of the original file)

Justinsomnia: /* Known Bugs */ text cleanup

==Introduction==
Did you realize that your favorite text editor runs on Linux? Well, now you know, so if you've been thinking about making the switch, you're out of excuses.

==Installation Instructions==

To get EditPlus working under Linux, you need to install the popular '''Wine''' software. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. To install Wine on Ubuntu or Debian GNU/Linux, enter the following at the command line:

apt-get install wine

Download the [http://www.editplus.com/download.html EditPlus Windows installer]. Then, in a terminal window, browse to the directory where the EditPlus file was downloaded and invoke this command to start the installation process:

wine ./epp221_en.exe

Once it's installed, find where EditPlus was installed, e.g.

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EditPlus\ 2/editplus.exe

and invoke this command:

wine ./editplus.exe

It should start running and you should be good to go.

As an alternative, if you have a full installation of '''wine''' on your Linux system, shortcuts are auto-configured for Windows '''.EXE''' files. Double-clicking on '''epp212_en.exe''' in your desktop file browser will auto-magically bring up '''wine''' with the program loaded.

You can also create a desktop shortcut to the '''.EXE''' program, so that clicking on that icon will bring up EditPlus (in '''wine''') also.

* Wine Download: http://www.winehq.com/site/download
* Code Weavers (wine developers): http://www.codeweavers.com/

==Post-Install Tips==

===Fonts===

If your Wine apps are using the ugly font that it picks by default, install Microsoft Tahoma font. It can be downloaded HereSimply run: <pre>wine ./tahoma32.exe</pre>Simply follow the prompts.'''Note:''' installing this font may cause the column marker not display the correct current column.Reason currently unknown.----

===Fonts (the Debian way)===

If you have Debian or a Debian-based distro (such as Ubuntu), you should be able to download and install this font (and other TrueType fonts) through "apt-get":<pre>apt-get install msttcorefonts</pre>Or, if not available in your current repository, you can download the debian package fromand then install it with:<pre>dpkg -i msttcorefonts_1.2_all.deb</pre>

===Fonts (the Gentoo way)===
If you are running Gentoo Linux, you can simply install Windows fonts through a package in portage, called corefonts:<pre>emerge -av corefonts</pre>

===Fixing the keyboard shortcuts===
You may not have realised it in Windows, but under Linux it can be handy to change some default keybindings (e.g. Ctrl+W to close a tab instead of Ctrl+F4). Use Document -> Settings -> Keyboard to do this.

===SFTP===
This tip not only applies to EditPlus, but ANY *nix app. First, install Fuse[http://fuse.sourceforge.net/]. Then install the Fuse filesystem SSHFS [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html]. Now you can mount SFTP at a normal mount-point and open/save files just like you would to a local directory.

==Known Bugs==

* Internet Explorer within EditPlus does not work.
* Tools > Preferences does not seem to work in some versions of Wine, and in fact, may cause it to freeze. If this is the case in your version and you need to edit your preferences, you might try:
*# upgrading your version of Wine
*# access the Preferences dialog through Project > Manage Project > Edit Project
*# hand edit the configuration files located in the installation directory (and have a good laugh at the serious misspellings in some of those files). Installation files are usually located in a path like <pre>~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EditPlus 2/</pre>
* If you happen to be using Synergy at the same time that you're running EditPlus through Wine, and you copy something on a connected Windows box and bring the mouse focus back to Linux, then move the mouse over an open document in EditPlus, EditPlus will crash. It is probably extremely unlikely that you would happen to be running this specific system setup, so this bug will probably not apply to you. Copying and pasting between EditPlus and native Linux programs on the same machine does not appear to be an issue.
* ''Ctrl S'' for '''Save''' may switch between two open Wine apps with some wine configurations. To workaround this, you can:
*# change the Editplus hot key for '''Save''' one of two methods:
*## use the Preferences dialog to change the key binding
*## edit the Editplus configuration file ''default.key'' in the installation directory
*# change the wine hot key (tutorial coming soon)
* Saving larger files over ftp might result in the ftp dialog hanging at 100% with some configurations. The newer wine releases still give you a chance to push the cancel button which after some time will give you a message "cancelled by user" whereas with earlier version all you could do is terminate Editplus.
* Opening a file may mess up the window drawing under Wine. There are a few ways to correct this (hitting Enter usually works, although this won't work on read-only files if you've set them to be uneditable. The best solution I've found is Alt-D-X (Refresh STX), which redraws the window. You can bind this to a more handy keystroke (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Z) and just get used to hitting it each time you open a file. There might be a better solution out there...

WinSCP

Justinsomnia: /* Cache Password for Background File Transfer */ rewording

'''WinSCP''' is an open source freeware SFTP client for Windows using SSH. Legacy SCP protocol is also supported. Its main function is safe copying of files between a local and a remote computer.

Though EditPlus does not support SFTP file transfer natively, you can configure WinSCP to use EditPlus as an external editor.
Make sure you have WinSCP version 3.7.2 or higher in order for it to work properly with EditPlus. You can download WinSCP [http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/download.php here].

==Configure WinSCP to use EditPlus as an External Editor==
#Launch WinSCP
#Check "Advanced Options" in the lower left
#Select "Preferences" in the pane on the left
#Press the "Preferences..." button on the lower right
#Select Editor in the pane on the left
#Choose "External Editor" and enter the path to your EditPlus executable, followed by an exclamation point-dot-exclamation point e.g. <code>"C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\editplus.exe" !.!</code>
#Check "External editor opens multiple files in one window (process)"

==Prevent SSH Timeout==
#Launch WinSCP
#Check "Advanced Options" in the lower left
#Select "Connection" in the pane on the left
#Under "Keepalives" choose "Sending of null SSH packets"

==Cache Password for Background File Transfer==
When you're editing a file opened using WinSCP, and you save that file, by default WinSCP will prompt for your password again. However, you can prevent that from happening by having WinSCP cache your password.
#Launch WinSCP
#Check "Advanced Options" in the lower left
#Select "Preferences" in the pane on the left
#Press the "Preferences..." button on the lower right
#Select Transfer > Background in the pane on the left
#Check "Remember password of main session for background transfers when idle"
