Features
- Color Syntax Highlighting: Language-specific keywords, comments, and strings are colored differently to set them apart from plain text. Bold, italics, and underline are supported, as well. The Visual Kixtart Editor supports several languages. These include: KiXtart, Batch Files, C/C++, Java, SQL, Pascal, and Basic.
- Fully customizable interface: New toolbars and menus have been added that alow full customization.
- Auto Indentation: Once a language is chosen, as you enter code, the Visual Kixtart Editor will automatically indent lines to following the scoping rules of the language.
- Keyword Case Normalization: Keywords can be converted to the proper case once a line is entered.
- Multiple Split Views:Users can create up to four separate views of the same edit buffer. Each view can be scrolled independently.
- Unlimited Undo/Redo: All edit actions are fully undoable and redoable. A limit can be set on the number of edit actions that may be undone.
- Regular Expression Searching: Perform regular expression searching and replacing using standard GNU regular expressions.
- Column Selection and Manipulation: Columns of text can be selected with the mouse and then manipulated. Empty columns (columns with a width of zero characters) can be selected, causing subsequent typing and deletion to occur over multiple lines at the same time.
- Built-in Printing Support: The contents of the editor window may be printed in color or black and white.
- Selection Bounding: The text caret can optionally be confined to the bounds of the text. If enabled, when the user clicks on ‘virtual’ space to the right of text, the caret will be placed at the end of the line clicked on.
- Custom Color Settings: All foreground and background colors used in the Visual Kixtart Editor can be configured through the options dialog.
- Microsoft IntelliMouse Support: Scrolling, word selection, and line selection is easily accomplished with the Microsoft IntelliMouse.
- Drag and Drop Text Manipulation: Highlighted text can be dragged and dropped between any window supporting OLE text Drag and Drop. Text may be copied or moved.
- Line Numbering: Lines can be numbered using any radix and the first line may start with any positive number.
