Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, KKEdit is a text editor combining Mac’s BBEdit, Gedit and Leafpad. While it has interesting features like: jump to function declaration, search and replace via regular expressions, options for saving and restoring sessions, support for multiple bookmarks and source code highlighting, it is not an IDE.
The latest version available is KKEdit 0.2.3, which has been recently released, coming with the below changes:
- Cancel quit properly if ‘Cancel’ selected in unsaved documents dialog.
- Status bar now shows number of replacements when using find/replace.
- Added message dialog when disabling a plugin that can’t be unloaded without restart.
- Added KKEdit version string to data passed to plugins.
- Added main notebook widget to data passed to plugins.
- Exposed main menu callbacks to plugins so they can be overridden.
- Improved open include now tries exact match -> best match.
- Open include file now only needs the cursor on the line with a #include no need to select the whole line, # **MUST** be the first character on the line.
- Improved search for definition now try’s: exact match in open files->exact match in all files in current folder->best match in all files in current folder.
- Improved string scanning for valid chars.
- Standardized save/load routines for configs.
- If two or more plugins use a top/bottom pane pane wont be closed until all plugins close it.
- Added top/bottom draggable panes for plugins.
- Added loadVarsFromFile and saveVarsToFile to kkedits export so plugins can use the routines to save/load data.
- Added reserved data to page structure.
- Added user datalist to page structure for use by plugins.
