Special Editor Text Editor v3.00 serial key or number

If you are having trouble installing, uninstalling or updating EmEditor, please refer to the following tips. We apologize for any inconveniences.

1. If you use Trend Micro, Avast, or any other Antivirus or Security software, temporarily disable the software and install EmEditor.
2. Close all currently running programs including icons in the Taskbar notification area.
3. Check if the Windows system is up to date by Update Windows, and then restart Windows.
4. Use the Disk Cleanup to clean system files. To start Disk Cleanup, search for Disk Cleanup from the taskbar, click the Clean up system files, and clean all files.
5. Delete all files in the %TEMP% folder, and restart Windows.
6. If the error message that says “The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.” appears while trying to update or install EmEditor, first locate the installer of the previous version. The installer of the previous version can be found in one of the C:\ProgramData\Emurasoft\EmEditor\updates\update… folders. Some old versions can be downloaded at http://files.emeditor.com/emed64_xx.x.x.exe (64-bit) or http://files.emeditor.com/emed32_xx.x.x.exe (32-bit) where “x” represents a version number. For instance, in case of v15.6.1 (64-bit), it becomes http://files.emeditor.com/emed64_15.6.1.exe. Extract the installer with the “/extract” option in Command Prompt. For example, if the installer is “emed64_15.6.1.exe”, you would run: “emed64_15.6.1.exe /extract”. This will create a sub folder with file contents. Inside the folder, you will find a file with the file extension “.msi”, in this case “emed64_15.6.1.msi“. Click the Browse button in the above dialog box, and specify the .msi file.
7. If unable to update, first uninstall the old version from Control Panel, and restart Windows. Make sure the old EmEditor install folder is empty (usually C:\Program Files\EmEditor or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\EmEditor), and then install a new version.
8. Use Windows Update Troubleshooting tool to check the Windows system. (Windows 10, Windows 8.1 or earlier)
9. Use Microsoft Fix it tool to check the system for Windows Installer.
10. Check the hard disk by Chkdsk command in the Command Prompt run as administrator. This process might take several hours.
11. Check the system by sfc /SCANNOW command in the Command Prompt run as administrator. This process might take several hours.
12. The Windows System Restore might be able to restore your computer settings to an earlier date.
13. If there are permission issues while trying to uninstall EmEditor, try creating a new administrative account, and uninstall with the new account.
14. GeekUninstaller (freeware) or Revo Uninstaller (freeware) might be able to help you uninstall an old version.
15. If the Check for Updates fails, select Customize Update Checker on the Help menu, and make sure the Download Folder specifies a writable folder. The default is C:\ProgramData\Emurasoft\EmEditor\updates.
16. When updating EmEditor, if a system restart is required, close all applications before updating EmEditor. In particular, Brother Control Center (BrCtrlCntr.exe), which comes with Brother printers, might open the EmEditor folder, and thus please close the Control Center you might find in the Taskbar Notification Area. If the problem persists, use Process Explorer and search for any open handles to the EmEditor install folder when a system restart is prompted.
17. To report issues during the install, run the installer with the “/L*V log.txt” option. For instance, the installer is emed64_15.7.0.exe, run “emed64_15.7.0.exe /L*V log.txt”. If installing to the whole computer, the Command Prompt is required to run as Administrator. To report issues during the uninstall, run the installer corresponding to the version you want to uninstall with the “/L*V log.txt” option. Zip the log file “log.txt”, and email to our support at tech at emurasoft.com with detail information.
18. If EmEditor complains that “eeupdate.exe” is missing during EmEditor install or launching EmEditor, Antivirus software seemed to delete the eeupdate.exe file while EmEditor was installed or launched. Please consider disabling the antivirus while installing EmEditor, or add the file to exception list of the antivirus. If this doesn’t work, you can install EmEditor without copying eeupdate.exe. To do this, when you install, select “Custom” install, in the Custom Setup screen, expand the “Program Shortcuts and Association” and disable “Check Updates”. Alternatively, you can create the “CheckUpdates” value as REG_DWORD in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EmSoft\EmEditor v3\Common key, and assign 0. Either of the above methods will completely disable the update checker and the eeupdate.exe will not be searched anymore.
19. If the “Called RunScript when not marked in progress.” message appears, please check the permissions include writable on C:\Windows\Temp folder.
20. If you run EmEditor on a PC where the Internet connection is unavailable, you might run into an issue such as:
    – A warning dialog box “The digital signature of a program file could not be verified.” appears when you try to launch EmEditor.
    – The digital signature of EmEditor files (such as emeditor.exe and .msi installers) cannot be verified.
    – EmEditor launch becomes slow.

    In these cases, please connect to the Internet while you run EmEditor or verify the digital signature of program files. Once the Internet connection is made, you can continue to use EmEditor without the Internet connection.

    If it is not possible to connect to the Internet, please install a Sectigo Code Signing Intermediate Certificate by following these steps:

    1. From an Internet-connected PC, go to “How to Download & Install Sectigo Intermediate Certificates – RSA”

    2. Download “Standard Sectigo RSA Cod Signing CA” in the “Code Signing” section.

    3. Copy the downloaded file to the target offline PC where EmEditor files exist.

    4. On the target PC, right-click this file, select “Install Certificate”. “Certificate Import Wizard” appears.

    5. Follow the wizard to select “Place all certificates in the following store”, click Browse, and select “Intermediate Certification Authorities”. Click Next to import the certificate.

    Check the digital signature of an EmEditor file (such as emeditor.exe), and verify the digital signature is OK. If it is not OK because the root certificate cannot be verified, please install a Sectigo Root Certificate by following steps:

    1. From an Internet-connected PC, go to “How to Download & Install Sectigo Intermediate Certificates – RSA”

    2. Download “SHA-2 Root: USERTrust RSA Certification Authority” in the “Root Certificates” section.

    3. Copy the downloaded file to the target PC.

    4. On the target PC, right-click this file, select “Install Certificate”. “Certificate Import Wizard” appears.

    5. Follow the wizard to select “Place all certificates in the following store”, click Browse, and select “Trusted Root Certification Authorities”. Click Next to import the certificate.

You can install the new version of EmEditor by downloading the latest version from the EmEditor Home page. The steps are as follows:

1. If the tray icon is running, close it. To close the tray icon, right click on the tray icon on the task bar, and select Close Tray Icon.

2. Uninstall the previous version of EmEditor from Control Panel.

3. If the message box “Do you want to keep EmEditor settings before they are completely uninstalled?” appears, select “Yes” if you need to keep all your previous settings. It is recommended to select “No” unless you need to keep all your previous settings.

4. Select the type of EmEditor and the version of OS that you want by clicking one of the following links:

EmEditor Download

5. When you click the link for download, the File Download – Security Warning dialog box appears:

6. Clicking the Run button should start the downloading, and the Internet Explorer – Security Warning dialog box appears:

7. Click Publisher: Emurasoft, Inc.

8. Make sure you read This digital signature is OK in the Digital Signature Details dialog. If this phrase does not appear in the dialog box, the downloaded file is corrupted, and you will need to clear the Temporary Internet files, and try downloading again. Click OK to close the dialog box.

9. Clicking the Run button will launch the Setup. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to proceed with the setup.

If you have been using a version of EmEditor v3.00 or newer, and want to maintain the same configurations, you do not need to uninstall the previous version. You can install the newest version with the same destination folder. However, before you install the newer version, you should exit all EmEditor windows including the Tray Icon. If you are asked to restart Windows during the installation, you should restart Windows.

If you have been using a version of EmEditor older than v3.00, or don’t want to maintain the same configurations of EmEditor, we recommend uninstalling the previous version completely and rebooting the computer before installing the newer version of EmEditor. The steps are as follows:

1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel from the Start menu. Select the EmEditor (or EmEditor v3) from the Add or Remove Programs. Click the Delete button.

2. Reboot Windows when uninstalling is complete.

3. Install the new version.

No. The old version of EmEditor and new version of EmEditor can’t coexist on the same computer.

1. If you have plug-ins installed, remove all plug-ins from the plug-ins folder, and try running EmEditor again.

2. If the problem persists, select Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel to uninstall EmEditor. Reboot your PC, and reinstall EmEditor.

3. If EmEditor crashes only when opening UTF-8 or Unicode files, select Font under the View menu, select Normal from the Character set list, select the Change button beside the Display Font box and check if the proper font is selected.

Run the EmEditor installation again and make sure the Add the tray icon on the task bar check box is unchecked during the setup. This way you will not see the Tray Icon any more. You do not need to uninstall EmEditor before running the installation again. If this does not work, select Search from the Windows Start menu, and search for “emeditor.lnk”. This file should be located in the Startup folder. Delete this file to remove the tray icon permanently.

During normal installation, dialog boxes will be displayed, and a user must click the “Next” button or set options. However, when you install EmEditor into multiple computers in corporate or group environments, you might want to use a batch or scripting file to automate the installation. EmEditor uses Windows Installer for installation, and the “quiet” installation is possible.

For instance, if the EmEditor installation file is emed64_18.9.3.msi, running the following command:

will install EmEditor with default settings without displaying any dialog boxes.
If you wish to change the default settings, you can use following options:

For instance, if you wish to install EmEditor only for the current user specifying a registration key and the name of licensee, run the following command:

If you wish to install EmEditor for all users specifying a registration key and the name of licensee, run the following command on Administrator privilege:

There are many options for Windows Installer. For details, run:

to display the list of available commands.

Notes:
To install EmEditor for all users, the installer must be run on Administrator privilege to avoid the User Account Control prompt. For instance, If you run the installer from Command Prompt, you will have to open the Command Prompt window by right-clicking the Command Prompt icon while pressing the SHIFT key, and then select Run as administrator. To install EmEditor only for the current user, you must specify “MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1”.

By default, the install folder is the same folder as the previous version, or %LocalAppData%\Programs\EmEditor (if installed per user) or Program Files\EmEditor (if installed per machine) if this is a fresh install. To change the install folder, open the Command Prompt with administrator privileges, and run the installer with the NOSKIP option.

For instance, if the EmEditor installation file is emed64_18.9.3.msi, and if you want to install EmEditor to a different folder, run the following command:

This will give you an opportunity to select the “Custom” install during the install, and then will allow you to change the install folder.

Notes: You can’t change the install folder if EmEditor is installed per user. You must select to install EmEditor for all users.

More than one version of EmEditor cannot coexist on the same computer. If an old version is already installed, you must uninstall the old version first, or install the new version to the same folder as the old version.

1. Choose Select Configuration under the Tools menu.

2. Click Define Configuration at the very bottom of the list.

3. Click the New button, select Use Default Configuration and click OK.

4. Enter a descriptive name and click Enter.

5. Click the Properties button and select the Highlight (1) tab.

6. Click on the Import button, locate, and open the appropriate syntax file. If the “Import” button is disabled, check if “Only User Defined Strings” or “Both User-Defined Strings and Default Keywords” is selected in the drop-down list box under the “Enable Keyword Highlight”.

7. Finally, click on OK to close the Properties dialog box and click on Close to close the Configurations dialog box.

If you want to enable associated extensions and specify an extension or extensions that EmEditor should associate with the configuration, follow these additional steps:

8. Go to Associate Configuration on the Tools menu.

9. Click the New button.

10. Type the file extension with the wildcard, for example “*.ext”.

11. Select your newly defined configuration name.

No. You should unistall the new version of EmEditor before installing an older version of EmEditor. Failure to do so might cause some new DLL files to remain in the install directory, which can be incompatible with the older version of EmEditor. Before you uninstall the newer version, you should exit all EmEditor windows including the Tray Icon. When you uninstall the new version, you will be asked to keep all the settings. Selecting YES will keep all the settings that may be used in the older version of EmEditor. If you are asked to restart Windows during the installation, you should restart Windows.

EmEditor Professional does not change the text file icon from Windows system icon any more. If you prefer one of EmEditor’s icons for text files, run EmEditor, select Customize on the Tools menu, select the File tab, click the Associate with EmEditor button. Select the “txt” icon in the list, click the Properties button, enter emedres.dll file in EmEditor folder (usually C:\Program Files\EmEditor\emedres.dll) in the Sample Icon from This File text box, and select the txt icon in the Current Icon list box.

If Trend Micro Internet Security is installed, and the latest security update is installed, EmEditor may not run. Uninstalling Trend Micro Internet Security or removing the shortcut to Trend Micro Internet Security on the Desktop will resolve this issue.

To create the 64-bit portable version:

1. Download EmEditor Professional (64-bit installer) from the download page.

2. In the Command Prompt window of the Run dialog box, run the following command. A sub folder will be created, and all the installer contents will be extracted into the sub folder.

(if the installer file name is emed64_18.9.3.msi)

3. Copy all the contents in the folder into an install folder such as a USB portable drive.

4. In the same folder, create an empty file as eeUseIni.ini.

The above procedure creates the 64-bit portable version.

Close all running EmEditor programs (Note that EmEditor Help will be closed as well. If you are reading this page from the Help, we recommend writing down the information on this page before closing). Click the Start button on the Windows Operating System and select Control Panel from the Start menu. Select Add or Remove Programs. Select EmEditor from the Add or Remove Programs dialog box. and then click the Delete button. Follow the instructions in the EmEditor Uninstall dialog box. We recommend restarting the Windows Operating System when the uninstalling is complete.

If you associate files using Associate with EmEditor in EmEditor, the original associations are supposed to be restored after having uninstalled EmEditor. However, if you associate files yourself in other applications such as Explorer, you need to restore the original associations yourself. Open Windows Explorer, click Tools, select Folder Options, and then click the File Types tab. Select extensions you want to delete in the Registered file types list box and click the Change button. In the resulting Open With dialog box, select a program other than EmEditor that you want to associate the file with.

Some earlier versions of EmEditor were not able to completely uninstall the registry information. Click the Start button and select Run from the Start menu. Type “RegEdit.exe” and click the OK button to start Registry editor. Search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor and delete the key.

These files should be deleted during the uninstalling process. In your situation, the files were not deleted. To delete these files manually, first delete the shortcut running a Tray Icon of EmEditor. Then follow the instructions found in

Q. How can I remove the EmEditor tray icon permanently?

If you find the EmEditor tray icon running on your Taskbar, close it by selecting Close Tray Icon. You can then delete emedtray.exe and emedres.dll.

If you can’t uninstall an older version, please run the installer for the old version with “/L*V log.txt” option, which will create a log file for uninstall. For example, if the installer is “emed64_14.3.1.exe”, please run:

emed64_14.3.1.exe /L*V log.txt

The log.txt file might contain useful information as to why the installer stops working.

Notes: The installer of the previous version can be found in one of the C:\ProgramData\Emurasoft\EmEditor\updates\update… folders.

If you get the following dialog box while trying to uninstall or install a new version:

“The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.”

First, locate the installer of the previous version. Extract the installer with the “/extract” option. For example, if the installer is “emed64_14.3.1.exe”, you would run:

emed64_14.3.1.exe /extract

This will create a sub folder with file contents. Inside the folder, you will find a file with the file extension “.msi”, in this case “emed64_14.3.1.msi“.

When you uninstall, if you see the above dialog box, click the Browse button, and specify the above .msi file. Continue the process, and you should be able to uninstall the previous version.

If you are not sure which .msi file you need, you may find the information if you view the log.txt file.

Alternatively, if the uninstaller stops working when you try to uninstall from Control Panel, please try GeekUninstaller (freeware) or Revo Uninstaller (freeware) to uninstall.

If you need additional help, please email the log.txt file to our support at tech@emurasoft.com with detailed information.

You can simply uninstall EmEditor from one computer, and install EmEditor to another computer.  There are no special procedures to follow for licensing.

If you want to export your settings from an old computer, and import them into a new computer:

1. On an old computer, select “Import and Export” on the Tools menu, and select “Export all settings into a registry file.” Select App from Windows Settings, and select EmEditor to uninstall.

2. Copy all the exported files and subfolder to a new machine.

3. On a new computer, install EmEditor, select “Import and Export” on the Tools menu, and select “Import all settings from a registry file”.

Surrounding the file name with quotation marks (“”) will prevent an extension from being appended. For example, “file” will just be saved as file instead of file.txt.

On the File tab of Properties, uncheck Detect All if it is checked. The code page detection can make mistakes, especially with small files.

Click X in the upper right corner of the window while pressing the SHIFT key. Alternatively, you can close all in the following ways:

Select Customize under the Tools menu, and check the Remember Last Folder check box on the Customize dialog box.

Alternatively, display the Properties for the EmEditor shortcut that you usually use to run EmEditor, and add /cd in the Target text box. For instance, if the install folder of EmEditor is “C:\Program Files\EmEditor”, enter “C:Program FilesEmEditoremeditor.exe” /cd. Moreover, fill the Start in text box as a folder you want to open from.

Choose Properties for Current Configuration under the Tools menu and on the File tab uncheck the Delete Empty Files when Saving box.

Choose Properties for Current Configuration under the Tools menu and click the Font button on the Print tab to customize font and size.

Macintosh uses slightly different code pages than Windows does. In Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista, where Macintosh code pages are installed, you can convert Macintosh text files into Windows text files. First, select the Define Encodings command under the Tools menu. In the Define Encodings dialog box, press the New button, and select a Macintosh encoding, for example, “10001 (MAC – Japanese)”. Select an appropriate character set, for example, Japanese. Click OK twice to close dialogs.

Next, select the Open command under the File menu, select your defined encoding, for example, “10001 (MAC – Japanese)” from the Code Page combo box, and then select a Macintosh file that you would like to read.

In Windows 98/Me, where Macintosh code pages are not installed, you cannot read Macintosh text files correctly if they contain special characters that cannot be read by Windows code pages.

Yes, it is possible. On the File tab of Properties, select Keep Locked from the Changed by Another Program combo box. Other users will still be able to open the file but they will not be able to save changes to the file until you have closed the file.

To print in black and white, click Properties for Current Configuration under the Tools menu, click the Print tab, and then select the Ignore Color and Underlines check box. To print in color, clear the check box.

Some configurations could slow down performance. Check the following points:

• Click Properties for Current Configuration under the Tools menu, and then click the General tab. If an item other than “No Wrap” is selected in the Wrap by list, it might slow down EmEditor since it needs to compute where to wrap lines. When you open a large file, select “No Wrap”, or select the No Wrap command.

If Windows does not display Japanese, Korean, or Chinese fonts properly, you will need to go to Control Panel, select Regional and Language Options, click the Languages tab, and then check Install files for East Asian languages.

Open your Word document, select the text you want to copy, and then press CTRL + C to copy the text to the Clipboard.

Launch a new EmEditor window and press CTRL + V to paste the Clipboard contents to the EmEditor window. You should see the text in Japanese (or Korean, Chinese, etc.). If you cannot see the text properly, select Japanese (or Korean, Chinese, etc.) from the Font Category sub menu under the View menu. If you still cannot see it properly, select the Font command under the View menu, and select an appropriate font, for instance, MS Gothic if it is Japanese.

To save the document, select the Save As command under the File menu, and make sure you select either Unicode or UTF-8 from the Encoding drop-down list box. You may also select a locale-specific encoding such as Japanese (Shift-JIS) if you wish.

If an XML file is opened as Unicode, display the Current Configuration Properties, select the File tab, and check Opening Encoding drop-down list box. If this is Unicode, select System Default. If Detect HTML/XML Charset check box is checked, a “encoding=” directive specified within an XML file is searched, and EmEditor uses the specified encoding if the directive is found. Note that the encoding specified for opening files is different from the encoding specified for new files or for saving files.

By default, Java files and XML files will start as UTF-8 when the New with Java or XML command is selected. You can change this default behavior by opening the Configuration Properties for Java (or XML), selecting the File tab, clicking the New Files button, and then selecting System Encoding from the Encoding drop-down list box. Note that the encoding specified for new files is different from the encoding specified for opening files or for saving files.

If EmEditor is specified as an external text editor from another application such as a mail client program, and if the application monitors the EmEditor process for its termination and the file change, the application might not reflect an edited and saved file with EmEditor. To work around this, specify the /sp option to instruct EmEditor to be launched as a separate process. In this case, however, each EmEditor window will be displayed as a separate group.

Yes. First, go to Define Encodings on the Tools menu, click New and select GB18030 in the Encoding drop-down list. When you open a file, make sure you select this new defined encoding.

Use the following command line options:

cp Encoding — sets an encoding to open as.
cps Encoding — sets an encoding to save as.
sa “DestFile” — specifies a file name to save as after the encoding conversion
ss+ — saves the file with a Unicode signature (BOM) after the encoding conversion.
ss- — saves the file without a Unicode signature (BOM) after the encoding conversion.

For instance, if you want to convert a file from Western European (iso-8859-1) to UTF-8, use the following syntax:

“windows1252.txt” cp 1252 cps 65001 ss- sa “utf8.txt”

See Encoding Constants for the list of encodings.

See Using Command Line Options for more information.

Select the Customize command under the Tools menu. Select the File tab. Click the Associate with EmEditor button, and you can enter file extension to be associated with EmEditor.

Select Properties for All Configurations on the Tools menu (or after you open the file, select Properties for Current Configuration on the Tools menu). Select the File tab, and select Keep Locked in the Changed by Another Program drop-down list box.

On Windows XP, this issue appears when the Use Recycle Bin to Backup check box is checked in the Backup tab of configuration properties. Please clear the Use Recycle Bin to Backup check box.

The three characters at the top of your file is the “Byte Order Mark” of a UTF-8 file. By default, a Java file is created as UTF-8 with BOM. You can change the default code tab for new files from Java Properties > File tab > New Files button, and change the code tab to Normal ANSI, or uncheck the Add a Unicode Signature (BOM) box.

Press F8 to toggle normal selection mode. Press CTRL + F8 to select whole lines, and SHIFT + CTRL + F8 to toggle box selection mode. To change the keyboard settings, select Properties for Current Configuration under the Tools menu, and display the Keyboard tab.

To insert control characters on EmEditor v3, select Advanced > Insert Special Characters under the Edit menu. Alternatively, you can type corresponding keys with CTRL (+ SHIFT) only if the corresponding keys have not been assigned for shortcut keys and if the Allow Insert Control Characters is checked on the General tab of Properties.

Some other applications, particularly Netscape Navigator, have problems translating text from ANSI to Unicode. Instead of using the regular Paste command, select All Commands under the Tools menu, then Edit > Paste > ANSI Paste. Alternatively, check Always Paste as ANSI on the General tab of the Current Configuration Properties dialog box.

Select Advanced under the Edit menu, and then select Insert Special Character. To inspect a Unicode character code you want to insert, refer to the Latin Extended Characters Reference. You can also inspect a character by using the Character Map ( Start menu > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map) if installed in your Windows Operating System. You might need to adjust the font to display special characters properly.

See also To Insert Special Characters for the list of keyboard shortcuts.

To select in a box, use the mouse to select while pressing the ALT key, or press SHIFT + CTRL + F8.

Global IME is not necessary because other language IMEs can be added from the Control Panel (Start menu > Settings > Control Panel > Date, Time, Language and Regional Options).

By default, an entire inserted string will be undone by one Undo command. You can change this behavior by checking the Undo Character by Character check box on the Edit tab of the Customize dialog box. You will then need to restart EmEditor.

You can select the Sort A to Z, Sort Z to A, Sort Smallest to Largest, or Sort Largest to Smallest command to sort in alphabetical or numerical order. These commands can be found in the Separated Values/Sort submenu on the Edit menu.

On EmEditor Professional v10 or later, you can check spelling without using any plug-ins. On the Context Menu of EmEditor (the right-click menu), selecting Check Spelling will enable spelling. If this menu item is not visible, you can select Customize Menus on the Tools menu, select Context Menu on the list, and then click the Reset button.

Additional dictionaries are available for download at the extensions.OpenOffice.org (http://extensions.openoffice.org/). After download a dictionary, change the file extension from .oxt to .zip, extract the Zip file, and then copy *.dic and *.aff files into the Dictionaries sub folder of the EmEditor install folder (usually C:\Program Files\EmEditor\Dictionaries).

Many shortcut keys are already assigned to insert many special characters by default. To see which keys are assigned, go to:

Insert Special Characters

Any character can be assigned to your favorite shortcut key using a macro. For example, if you would like to insert ä with a shortcut key, write a macro (in this case, JavaScript):

document.selection.Text=”ä”;

and save this file as a file, for example, InsertA.jsee. Select Select… on the Macros, and select this file. Running this macro will insert this character. To assign a shortcut key to this macro, go to Configuration Properties, select the Keyboard tab, and then select My Macros from the Category drop-down list, and assign your favorite key to the macro.

Please go to the Highlight (2) tab of configuration properties, and then check all items in the “Bracket Pairs” list so you can use CTRL+] to jump to the matching bracket.

There are two factors that disable the sort commands.

1. Advanced tab of the Customize dialog box (Tools menu – Customize). The “Minimum File Size to Use Temporary File” must be larger than the file size you opened to sort in order to enable the sort commands.

2. If you are using the 32-bit version of EmEditor, in the Registry Editor, please find this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EmSoft\EmEditor v3\Common

And set a new REG_DWORD value MaxReserveBits as Decimal 24 (Hexadecimal 0x18). The default value is Decimal 20 (32-bit version of EmEditor) and Decimal 24 (64-bit version of EmEditor).

This value specifies the maximum number of lines that EmEditor can sort. You can’t specify the value more than 24. If 24 is specified, theoretically, the maximum number of lines is 16777216. However, if the OS can’t allocate a large memory, it may become less. In this case, you might want to restart Windows and run only EmEditor before you try again. If you are using the 64-bit version of EmEditor, the default value is Decimal 24, so setting the registry value is not required.

Yes, they are called the Back and Forward commands.
On the default keyboard shortcut, you can use the Back (ALT + LEFT) and Forward (ALT + RIGHT) keys.
The buttons for these commands can be added to a toolbar.

Please check Anti-Virus software. Sometimes, anti-virus programs block applications to access the Clipboard, and in that case, you will have to explicitly exclude EmEditor from blocking the Clipboard access.

EmEditor has been designed to highlight strings line by line, rather than highlight strings containing new lines, in order to increase the performance of the program.

The Find/Replace dialog box allows resizing by dragging the right bottom corner with the mouse.

On the right side of the Find drop-down list box, click the > button to display a menu, and select the Multiline. Moreover, drag the right bottom corner of the dialog box so the text box allows multiple lines. In order to enter a new line, use CTRL + ENTER.

“Overwrite” mode is turned on. Press the Insert key on your keyboard to toggle “Overwrite” mode.

Yes. On the Marks tab of Properties, check the Show Spaces check box.

EmEditor’s internal processing is Unicode. EmEditor converts ANSI text to Unicode text when you open an ANSI file. When opening a file, you should select an encoding in the Open dialog box. If you don’t select an encoding, EmEditor defaults the file to the system default encoding. In order to open a file with a different encoding, you need to select the desired encoding when you open the file. You can later change the encoding by choosing the Reload command under the File menu choose an encoding to reload the file as.
