New in Portable EmEditor Professional 24.1.0 (Mar 28, 2024)

In version 24.1, we have added support for the new context menu in Windows 11 Explorer. With Windows 11, the design of the context menu has been revamped compared to Windows 10 and earlier versions, necessitating special handling for apps to support this change. EmEditor is now compatible with the Windows 11 context menu, enabling you to directly select the Edit in EmEditor command. Additionally, when right-clicking on a folder or the background, the Find in Files with EmEditor command becomes available. To use this feature, the EmEditor tray icon must be displayed in the notification area of the taskbar, and it is supported only when running the desktop installer version on Windows 11. This feature is accessible in both the EmEditor Professional and EmEditor Free versions.
Another significant feature added in the new Professional version is the enhancement of AI capabilities. Version 24.0 introduced AI macros using the OpenAI API (hereafter abbreviated as “API”). Version 24.1 introduces an AI assisted writing feature that predicts and autocompletes what you are typing next while composing text. AI autocomplete can reduce typing effort and improve writing speed. I am writing this text using EmEditor and am personally experiencing the convenience of the AI assisted writing feature.
By default, the AI functionality is disabled. To enable this feature, you need to check the Enable AI option on the AI page of the Customize dialog box in EmEditor, and agree to allow OpenAI to process the text data within documents opened in EmEditor. Please read OpenAI’s Privacy Policy, and if you agree, click the Continue button. According to this privacy policy, data sent to the API will not be used for training OpenAI’s models.
Next, enter your OpenAI API key in the OpenAI API Key text box. If you are logged into OpenAI, you can obtain your secret OpenAI API key here. It is recommended to store the API key in the ‘OPENAI_API_KEY‘ environment variable, but if you use the portable version of EmEditor or do not wish to share the key with other apps because you are sharing the computer, you can disable the Use “OPENAI_API_KEY” environment variable option and save the API key exclusively for EmEditor. By default, gpt-4-turbo-preview is the preferred model. It offers more accurate suggestions than gpt-3.5-turbo. For writing in foreign languages, selecting gpt-4-turbo-preview is advisable. Also, to enable this feature, you must activate the AI assisted writing option on the General page of each configuration properties. It is enabled by default for Text, Markdown, and HTML configurations.
When this feature is enabled, as you type, AI will automatically predict and suggest the next text. The suggested text appears in gray by default, and you can accept the suggestion by pressing the Tab or End key. If you want to accept only part of the suggested text, press the Right arrow key for the number of characters to accept, or Ctrl+Right to accept one word. Pressing the Delete key will remove the first character of the suggested text. Pressing the Esc key or another key cancels the suggestion. Moreover, if you want to force a prediction by AI when no suggested text is displayed, or request a different suggestion, press Ctrl+Space.
Simply opening a file in EmEditor does not call the API. It only starts calling the API when you begin typing characters. Moreover, the following conditions must all be met to utilize this functionality:
Running EmEditor Professional edition
The Enable AI option is active
The AI assisted writing option is active
Not recording or running a macro
The Read-only option is turned off
No text is selected
Not editing a very large file
Not in CSV mode
Not comparing files
The document being edited is active
The cursor is at the end of line
Have started typing characters
After pausing typing (about 100ms)
Have not pressed the Esc key to cancel a suggestion
Not just clicked elsewhere with the mouse or executed another command
As described above, we aim to minimize the frequency of API usage. However, using the API still incurs a fee payable to OpenAI, calculated in tokens. Each suggestion consumes about 100 tokens for input and about 10 tokens for output. According to current pricing, using the default gpt-4-turbo-preview model consumes approx. US$0.0013 per instance. Opting for gpt-3-turbo significantly reduces the cost to approx. US$0.000065 per instance. For reference, using ChatGPT Plus provided by the same company incurs a monthly fee of over US$20, but if you only use the API with EmEditor, you don’t need to pay for ChatGPT Plus. Using AI with EmEditor is unlikely to amount to US$20 a month, making it an economically viable option. Using the AI macro introduced in v24.0, you can ask EmEditor any free-form questions just like with ChatGPT Plus, making it possible to completely replace ChatGPT Plus with EmEditor.
Furthermore, this version responds to customer requests:
1. The hexadecimal characters used for IPv6 addresses in highlight and sorting commands were only recognized in lowercase in previous versions. This was because RFC 5952 recommends writing IPv6 addresses in lowercase. However, based on feedback from a customer indicating that both uppercase and lowercase letters may be mixed, we now support uppercase letters as well.
2. The CommitList plugin has been improved with the addition of the Delete Remote Branch command.

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 24.0.1 (Mar 18, 2024)

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 24.0.0 (Feb 29, 2024)

In this version, we have also responded to many requests from our customers:
Onigmo regular expressions now support the QE syntax This syntax allows you to disable regular expression metacharacters without needing to escape them For example, to search for the string [ac], the conventional regular expression would require you to escape the metacharacters "[", "", "]" with backslashes, [ac] In the new version, you can simply write Q[ac]E, eliminating the need to escape metacharacters Note that Boost‘s Regex has supported the QE syntax for some time
We added an option to the Find Next and Find Previous commands that only matches non-overlapping strings For example, if you search for “AA” in the string “AAAAA”, initially only the first four characters, “AAAA”, are highlighted When you execute the Find Next (F3) command, the search position shifts one character at a time, allowing you to search through all the “AA” pairs With this version, setting the Find only non-overlapping strings in Find Next/Previous checkbox in the Advanced dialog box makes the command operate in a way that only non-overlapping strings match, ending the search leaving the last “A” unsearched, thus aligning the highlight with the search position
In EmEditor, URI and email addresses are highlighted, and we frequently receive requests to extract just those parts In previous versions, this could be done by specifying an appropriate regular expression in the Find dialog and selecting Extract, but many of our customers are not familiar with regular expressions In this version, you can easily extract just the URIs or email addresses by specifying options in the Extract Frequent Strings command
When opening a CSV in EmEditor, the delimiter positions are automatically adjusted by default However, very long cells can cause the column width to become very wide, making the entire CSV hard to view In this version, we added a Maximum column width textbox to the CSV Options page of the Customize dialog, allowing you to specify the maximum column width
In the previous version, EmEditor started displaying a warning message when a file opened in it was deleted by another application In this version, you can choose whether or not to display the warning message It can be specified on the File page of the Configuration Properties via the Prompt if file deleted checkbox
Some customers have reported slow startup times for EmEditor on recent versions of Windows 11 This is primarily due to the retrieval of the Windows Clipboard History during startup The new version has this option disabled by default, but it can be enabled on the Clipboard page of the Customize dialog
The new version disables the Switch to no wrap option in the Compare Files wizard by default

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 23.1.3 (Feb 23, 2024)

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 23.0.1 (Nov 17, 2023)

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 23.0.0 (Nov 16, 2023)

While conventionally, this version should be named v22.6, due to numerous changes and being a truly major update, as well as being the last major update of the year, we decided to align with the last two digits of the year 2023 and name it v23.0.
Recent advancements in generative AI, including ChatGPT, have enabled the use of various information and services through web browsers. Among EmEditor users including this customer, there is a growing demand to use these web services directly within EmEditor, eliminating the need to use external browsers. In the new version, we have added a feature to display a web browser in a customer bar of EmEditor. This browser is designed to work in conjunction with macros, allowing users to send a portion of the document in the editor to a site displayed in the Web Browser or vice versa. To utilize these features, ensure that Use V8 as the JavaScript engine is selected in the Options page of the Customize Macros dialog, or add the following line at the beginning of each macro: #language = "V8"
Two specific features have been added:
(1) web. keyword: To access the Document Object Model (DOM) of HTML, use the lowercase web. keyword. This distinction is necessary to differentiate between objects in EmEditor and objects in the Web Browser. For example, in a macro: document.write( "Test" );
It is unclear whether “Test” should be displayed in the editor view of EmEditor or in the HTML of the Web Browser. To display “Test” in the Web Browser, add the web. prefix: // Displays "Test" in Web Browser web.document.write( "Test" );
With this syntax, keywords starting with web. are interpreted as instructions executed in the Web Browser, allowing access to the DOM.
(2) onLoad event: If the last executed macro contains a function starting with function onLoad(), it is called only once when the web page is updated or a new page is loaded. This functionality allows tasks such as retrieving search results on search sites.
The Bing.jsee macro example demonstrates how to retrieve and display specific information from HTML search results. Note that some search sites, like the free version of ChatGPT, may not trigger page updates or new page loads. In such cases, the onLoad() event does not occur, preventing the retrieval of search results using this event. Nevertheless, Makoto Emura came up with an idea to monitor an HTML element using the MutationObserver interface and retrieve the text when changes occur. The ChatGPT.jsee macro sample demonstrates how to retrieve responses from ChatGPT using this interface. If you run this macro as it is, the selected text is only entered into the ChatGPT prompt box. However, if you uncomment lines 99 to 100, it will actually send the text. Disclaimer: The format of Bing and ChatGPT responses may change at any time in the future, potentially affecting the functionality of these macros. The macros are intended solely to demonstrate the new features of EmEditor v23.0. We do not guarantee that these macros will work in the future.
Another major change in v23.0 is the optimization for handling large files. EmEditor users often deal with large CSV files, sometimes reaching several gigabytes. To ensure smooth performance even with such files, extensive testing was conducted on operations such as deleting, inserting, combining, sorting, and pasting columns. The commands were optimized by multi-threading and other optimization techniques, resulting in approximately 21 to 34 times faster performance compared to v22.5.
In the CSV Converter, previous versions lacked multi-threading code, causing slow performance with large files. The new version improves this by using multi-threading and SIMD code, making CSV format conversion even for multi-gigabyte files operate within a few seconds.
For Japanese (JIS) and Japanese (EUC), v23.0 abandons the use of the traditional Windows API object, MultiLanguage, in favor of a custom lookup table. This change enhances the detection logic for invalid characters and significantly improves the operation speed such as file opening and searching.
In v22.5, clicking the left edge of line numbers toggles the bookmark. Responding to user feedback, an option to disable this feature has been added in the Mouse page of the Customize dialog under Click the left edge of a line number to toggle the bookmark.
The Markdown configuration has been improved to allow more accurate representation of emphasis formatting, such as bold and italic, through the addition of special syntax.
Using the Language Server Protocol, Makoto Emura added a feature to format the selected string or entire document. This command, accessible through the Convert menu as Format (shortcut: Ctrl+K, F), eliminates inconsistencies such as the number of leading tabs or spaces and the position and presence of spaces around parentheses () or {} for improved readability. Users can select code to format, and if no selection is made, a dialog prompts whether to format the entire document. Or you may press Ctrl+K, D to format the entire document. To enable the Format command, the Language Server Protocol option must be enabled on the Language Server page of the Customize dialog box, and the desired language must be selected from the Document type drop-down list. Note that preferences for formatting, such as the presence of spaces around parentheses, depend on the language server and cannot be customized within EmEditor.
Starting from this version, the Language Server Protocol is officially supported for C++, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, JavaScript for EmEditor, Perl, and Python configurations. Users can disable this feature at any time in the settings on the Language Server page of the Customize dialog box.
Makoto enhanced the CommitList (Git) plugin by adding an Update Submodule option to pull changes to a submodule. He also removed the Undo Changes menu item from the staged files list (not unstaged files) in the CommitList sidebar to avoid confusion regarding expected behavior.
Finally, the traditional help system, which used an outdated design and was challenging to maintain, has been redesigned using Sphinx. The new help system is maintained and built on our GitHub page.

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 22.5.2 (Aug 8, 2023)

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 22.5.1 (Aug 2, 2023)

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 22.5.0 (Jul 25, 2023)

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 22.4.2 (Jun 1, 2023)

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 22.4.1 (May 23, 2023)

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 22.4.0 (May 17, 2023)

On this new version (v22.4), we improved the behavior and status message when opening a very large file from a slow or network drive. In previous versions, EmEditor was optimized for opening a very large file from a fast hard drive or SSD. It allocated a large chunk of memory to read file contents, and did not update the progress on the status bar or Large File Controller while processing the chunk of memory. This works well when reading a large file from a fast hard drive or SSD, but it looked non-responsive if reading a file from a slow or network drive. v22.4 measures the time it takes to read the first 1 MB of a file when opening. Then it estimates the reading speed and how many bytes it should read before updating the progress on the status bar and Large File Controller. This new algorithm allows EmEditor to show the progress more frequently for slow drives while maintaining the fast reading speed for faster drives.
v22.4 also improved the speed of Find in Files while improving the response time when canceling Find in Files. This was made possible by making multiple zones in a file to search in order to respond to a cancellation request while maintaining the overall speed by using optimized, multi-threaded code. In our test, the Find in Files became 2.76 times faster compared to v22.3. v22.4 also improves the speed of several other commands including the Delete Columns (CSV), Clear Contents (CSV), Sort Randomly, and base 64 encoding/decoding commands. The Clear Contents (CSV) command is called when pressing the DELETE key while selecting CSV cells or columns in the CSV cell selection mode. This is one of the most often used operations in CSV editing, and I hope the speed improvement will increase your productivity. The speed of the Sort Randomly command was further improved by using a fast pseudorandom number generator (Xoshiro-cpp).
A customer asked for the ability to update the highlighting of matched strings while you are typing a search term in the Find dialog box. I’ve known this feature from other editors, and I decided to add this feature to v22.4. The feature is turned off by default, but can be enabled by selecting the Auto Highlight in the menu displayed when you click the > button next to the Find drop-down list box in the Find dialog box. When this option is on, the search highlighting will be turned on only while the Find/Replace/Find in Files/Replace in Files dialog box or the Find toolbar is displayed. This feature is available on EmEditor Professional and EmEditor Free.
Several customers have asked for an improvement in vertical scrolling when you select multiple lines of text and drag the mouse (move the mouse while pressing the left mouse button) past the bottom edge of the editor window. Some customers prefer scrolling down while other customers prefer jumping to the bottom of the document. Some customers would like to select many lines in the middle of the document, for instance, from Line 1 million to Line 2 million in a 3 million-line document. To satisfy all these customers, v22.4 introduces a new scrolling mode while you drag the mouse as well as new mouse pointer shapes as explained below.
First, v22.4 changes the mouse pointer shape when you drag the mouse past the edge of the editor window. The farther you move the mouse pointer past the edge of the window, the faster the scrolling speed becomes. If you move the mouse pointer too far away from the window, the scrolling behaves as if you were dragging the scroll box (thumb). This mode allows you to move the endpoint of the selection easily to any position in the document. By default, the Minimap will be displayed when you enter this mode. Pressing the ESC key while still pressing the left mouse button will switch back to the normal selection mode. This feature is available on EmEditor Professional and EmEditor Free.
Makoto Emura added the syntax check feature using Language Server Protocol (LSP). The new feature is available in JavaScript as well as other languages, and you can check the syntax of your macros written in JavaScript. This feature is available only on EmEditor Professional.
He also improved the CommitList plug-in by adding the ability to checkout commits and create new branches. This feature is available only on EmEditor Professional.

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 22.3.0 (Apr 12, 2023)

We have been receiving many crash reports since we improved the crash reporting feature, and I’ve spent much of my time investigating the cause of reported crashes. Fortunately, many crashes have been resolved, and we released frequent minor releases between v22.2.0 and v22.3.0 because we wanted to help those customers who experienced crashes as early as possible. We also added more information to the crash report to provide more context. Thanks to those crash reports and fixes, we are receiving fewer crash reports on newer versions. We thank all the users who submit their crash reports. We strongly recommend all users update to this latest version of EmEditor because of the improved reliability and robustness. The crash reporting feature is available on EmEditor Professional and EmEditor Free.
During investigations, we found that some crashes were caused by the Find/Replace command while CSV syntax check was running in the background immediately after opening a large CSV file. We determined that the Find/Replace commands should wait until the background CSV syntax check has completed. Thus the new version shows a message box to abort CSV syntax check before Search, Replace, and some other operations by default. This prompt message can be disabled by clearing the Prompt when CSV Syntax Check is still running option in the CSV Options page of the Customize dialog box. The background CSV syntax check will be aborted automatically when you are about to Find/Replace while the prompt message is disabled. The CSV-related features are available only on EmEditor Professional.
The speed of various operations is as important as reliability for EmEditor. The new version improved the speed of the Extract command in the Find dialog box using improved algorithms. In our test, the Extract command became up 3.46 times faster compared to v22.2.0. These commands are available only on EmEditor Professional.
A customer has asked for the ability to sum numbers even if numbers contain digit grouping (thousand) separators. For instance, if the selected text is:
1,001.5 2,001.1
On previous versions of EmEditor, the sum was 1 + 1.5 + 2 + 1.1 = 5.6 because a comma (,) was not recognized as a part of a number.
On the new version, the sum is 1001.5 + 2001.1 = 3002.6 if the Allow digit grouping option in the Sort page of the Customize dialog box is set, and EmEditor shows “3,002.6” on the status bar. The actual separator depends on the selected Locale, which can be set on the same page. If German (Germany) (de-DE) is selected for the current Locale, and if the selected text is:
1.001,5 2.001,1
EmEditor shows “3,000.6” on the status bar. The number format displayed on the status bar depends on Windows Locale.
The digit grouping separator must appear at every 3 digits (thousand, million, billion, …). EmEditor currently does not support other digit grouping formats such as 2- or 4-digit grouping. If the selected text is:
1,04 2,0005
commas behave as simple separators of four independent numbers because they are not at thousand positions. Thus, EmEditor shows “12” (= 1 + 4 + 2 + 5).
The ability to parse numbers with digit grouping separators extends to the Sort Smallest to Largest and Sort Largest to Smallest commands.

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 21.8.0 (Jun 9, 2022)

The previous version of EmEditor (v21.7) supported comparison and synchronized scrolling results in one split window. v21.8 improves the split window by showing document titles above documents in the split window so that it is easier to identify the left and right documents. When you resize or maximize a split window, the previous version did not adjust the split border position. The new version moves the split border proportionally as you resize the window. Moreover, v21.8 allows you to show two documents side-by-side in a split window without comparing or synchronize scrolling by selecting the Split View command on the Compare menu. All the above features are supported on EmEditor Professional and EmEditor Free.
A major feature of EmEditor Professional is the ability to include regular expressions (RegEx) and number range expressions (NumRange) for search strings when you use the Bulk Replace All feature that was previously implemented on v21.7. Several customers including this customer asked for this improvement. It becomes useful when you have many simple strings to search for, but you want to include a few RegEx or NumRange strings. Bulk Replace All works very fast if all search strings are non-RegEx and non-NumRange (None). Adding RegEx to the list of search strings will slow down the Bulk Replace All process significantly. Nevertheless, if you have only a few RegEx, Bulk Replace All is still faster than Batch Replace All.
If you mix search strings with RegEx or NumRange, Bulk Replace All will search all these strings simultaneously, but a conflict can occur. If a conflict occurs, (None) will get the highest priority. NumRange is the second priority, and RegEx is the last priority.
V21.8 also supported RegEx and NumRange search strings for Bulk Find in the Batch Find in Files dialog box, and Bulk Replace All in the Batch Replace in Files dialog box.
Another new feature of v21.8 is the CommitList plug-in by Makoto Emura, which shows the commit history of a Git repo. It allows easy comparisons between files of different revisions. The current minimal feature set of the plug-in leaves an opportunity for your feedback to be reflected in future versions, so we would like to hear your feedback as to which features you would like to see in the plug-in.
A customer has asked for the ability to limit search files by their time stamp while working on Find in Files. Thus, we added the Oldest date modified and Newest date modified date boxes to the Advanced dialog box (Find in Files). If only the Oldest date modified is set, EmEditor searches files newer than the specified date. If only the Newest date modified is set, EmEditor searches files older than the specified date. If neither of them is set, EmEditor searches all files regardless of file dates.
Another customer has asked for the ability to extract all matches (not just one match) per line while Filter results are displayed. Thus, we added the Extract Options command to the menu displayed when you click on the Extract All button in the Filter toolbar. Selecting this command will bring up the Filter Extract Options dialog box, where you can select the Extract All matched strings option, and the Delimiter to separate matched strings.
Another customer has asked for the ability to record the Number of Additional Visible Lines Above/Below Matched Lines to macros. Thus, we added two more parameters to the Filter method of the Document object, where you can specify these numbers. If you already have macros that use the Filter method, and you want to display additional visible lines above/below matched lines, you might need to set these parameters to non-zero values, or -1 to instruct the Filter method to not change these values.
Finally, I hope you like EmEditor, whether you use the Professional or Free version. Please contact us or write in forums if you have any questions, feature requests, or any ideas in the future.)

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 21.4.1 (Jan 10, 2022)

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 21.4.0 (Dec 23, 2021)

Since EmEditor Free supported very large files in the previous version, it was pleasant to see that more people have used EmEditor Free. However, since EmEditor Free showed the Upgrade Information notification as a balloon tip on the right bottom corner, a user asked me if it was possible to hide this balloon tip. Thus, v21.4 allows you to hide any notifications or balloon tips on EmEditor Free. Another new feature for EmEditor Free is Automatic Updates, which allows you to update EmEditor to the latest version with a single click or have it apply new updates automatically on exit. Because of these new features, the Customize dialog box now includes the Notifications and Update pages in EmEditor Free (previously, only the Language page existed in EmEditor Free).
The main feature of EmEditor Professional v21.4 is a set of new data-analysis commands—Transpose, Pivot Table, and Unpivot—used for CSV documents. Last month, a customer asked me if I could add these commands. I was not familiar with these commands when I was first asked, but I thought they would become so powerful in analyzing big data that I wanted to implement them as soon as possible. The Transpose command simply switches the rows and columns of a CSV document. The Pivot Table finds all distinct values for a specified column, and for each distinct value, the command counts the occurrences or calculates the total values in another specified column. The Unpivot command is the reverse of the Pivot Table command. When I developed these commands, I wanted to make sure they are simple enough to use even if users aren’t familiar with them. For instance, I placed each option of the Pivot Table dialog box visually as the actual location of a pivot table. These commands can be recorded to a macro, which you can reuse later for repeated use. I also wanted to make sure they run as fast as possible, so I’ve spent much of my time optimizing the code for speed. Moreover, I added new options to the Combine Columns dialog box, and spent much time to improve the speed of the Combine Columns, Split Column(s), and Encode/Decode Selection commands while columns are selected in the CSV mode. Therefore, EmEditor Professional v21.4 allows you to analyze big data more quickly while you deal with CSV files.
We added these toolbar buttons for Transpose, Pivot Table and Unpivot commands but the existing CSV/Sort toolbar became too big. Thus, v21.4 separates the CSV/Sort toolbar into the CSV toolbar and Sort toolbar. Some people might think that the new Sort toolbar also contains CSV-related buttons, so why not call it “CSV/Sort”? Well, I just wanted to make the title short, but you can customize toolbar titles as well as buttons in the Toolbars dialog box.
As I wrote in my previous message, we refreshed the dialog box fonts for Japanese, Korean, and other languages, but this was met with some negative feedback. Therefore, I made the font face names customizable as well as the size in the Window page of the Customize dialog box.
A customer reported that the Uppercase/Lowercase commands do not convert some letters correctly. For instance, in Turkish, the uppercase of i is İ (U+0130, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE), and the lowercase of I is ı (U+0131, LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I). All the previous versions of Uppercase/Lowercase commands were using locale-independent conversions. v21.4 added the Locale-dependent Uppercase/Lowercase option to the Edit page of the Customize dialog box, which you can use for locale-dependent conversions. The locale is customizable in the Sort page of the Customize dialog box. The locale-dependent conversions require more time to process, and the option does not apply to other features including searches and replaces.
Some customers reported that macros do not finish correctly when a message box appears, for instance, by the alert method. I couldn’t reproduce the issue, but the issue appears on customers’ computers when macros run asynchronously. Thus, I added the Run macros asynchronously by default option to the Options page of the Customize Macros dialog box, and turning this option off will fix this issue.
This release also includes the following bug/issue fix:
Fixed a pre-v20.3 issue where the Combine Lines command might not have worked correctly when the Remove empty strings option is set.
Fixed an issue with certain fonts while using DirectWrite.
Fixed an issue where the “Error: Update installation failed” message might have appeared even though the installation was successful.
Fixed customer-reported issues.

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 21.3.0 (Nov 25, 2021)

This new version supports very large files in the Free version as well as the Professional version. I believe this will benefit many students at school and home, who need free text editors supporting very large files. What I mean by “very large file support” is the ability to open very large files without loading all contents into the memory. EmEditor will read a file directly from the disk if the file size is larger than 300 MB by default. For a long time, the file loading has been optimized for speed by using multithreaded code using SIMD instruction sets. In other words, EmEditor Free opens very large files as fast as EmEditor Professional. Even though EmEditor Free supports very large files, the Large File Controller is available only on EmEditor Professional. Please see EmEditor Free for the updated comparison table.
The main feature of v21.3 is a new date/time support in Number Range expressions. The feature was requested by several customers including this question. For example, when you analyze server logs or sales reports containing dates/times, you often want to focus on a certain date/time range, and the new feature becomes useful in these situations. You could use regular expressions to search for a certain date range, but regular expressions often become complicated and slow. Thus, I’ve decided to support date ranges in existing Number Range expressions. When I developed this new feature, I wanted to make sure it would be optimized for speed. I also understand that you want to take full control over which date format you would want to match. Therefore, the date expression allows you to specify a date/time format surrounded by double quotation marks
You may also use month names such as “January” or “Jan” by using “MMMM” or “MMM”, respectively, or use 24-hour time format: “HH:mm” or “HH:mm:ss”.
The new date range feature is available both in EmEditor Free and in EmEditor Professional.
Other new features include the ability to split a window into 3 panes! This feature has been requested for a long time. To split a window into 3 panes vertically or horizontally, select Split Vertically or Split Horizontally on the Window menu twice. This new feature is included in EmEditor Free and EmEditor Professional.
A customer wanted to move the current cell selection to the right when you press the ENTER key while in the CSV Cell Selection mode in EmEditor Professional. Previously, EmEditor can only set the focus into the Cell toolbar when you press ENTER. The new version allows the ENTER key customization, and introduces 4 new commands including the Next Cell (Cell Selection Mode Only) command. Thus, you can assign the ENTER key as the Next Cell (Cell Selection Mode Only) command.
A customer requested the ability to change the font size used in dialog boxes. While it is not easy to change the font name, it is relatively easy to change the font size. So, the new version allows you to change the font size in the Window page of the Customize dialog box. Another customer using the Chinese UI requested the ability to change the font face name. EmEditor’s dialog boxes use MS Shell Dlg, which is automatically substituted with an appropriate system font in each language of Windows. The font substitutes are defined in the Registry key: ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionFontSubstitutes. The issue is that this substitution table is old. I’ve learned that the old SimSun font was used in Simplified Chinese Windows by default, but it isn’t easy to read. While modern fonts like Microsoft YaHei are used in Windows and even recommended by Microsoft, the font substitution table still points to the old font, which is not updated even now. I thought that Microsoft forgot to update the font substitution table, but maybe they worry about compatibility issues with older apps, so they intentionally didn’t update it. We have decided to hard-code Microsoft YaHei for Simplified Chinese, and Microsoft JhengHei for Traditional Chinese. We have not changed the other language UI yet but will test the other languages in beta versions for the next version. We will use Meiryo UI for Japanese, Malgun Gothic for Korean, and Segoe UI for other languages. We will release beta versions soon, so please try the new beta versions with the new dialog boxes when they become available, and let us know if you like the new look and feel.
Latest updates of Windows 11 include bug fixes that I have previously mentioned. I have tested EmEditor on Windows 11 thoroughly, and I don’t see any issues with EmEditor on Windows 11 anymore except that some plug-in dialog boxes don’t look good on the Very Dark mode. The dark mode is still undocumented for desktop apps, and I am still looking into the issue. Unless you use the Very Dark option of EmEditor, there are no issues with EmEditor on Windows 11.
Finally, I hope you like EmEditor, whether you use the Professional or Free version. Please contact us or write in forums if you have any questions, feature requests, or any ideas in the future. I also welcome you to write a review by selecting the Write a Review command on the Help menu, because I read them periodically.

New General Features:
Added an option to use uchardet (C++ fork of Mozilla Charset Detectors), and improved file encoding detection when the Detect All option is used to open files.
Added an ability to split a file with newlines at every specified number of bytes, and run a macro against each opened document while opening multiple files (the new Advanced Open command). This feature may be useful when you want to split fixed-length record data files (that didn’t contain newlines) with newlines at every record while opening them, and convert them into a CSV format using a macro.
The new version allows you to record converting CSV formats as a macro (ConvertCsv method).

For instance, you can now copy multiple selections and paste to another multiple selection when the Always insert newlines when copying multiple selections option is enabled (default) in the Edit page of the Customize dialog box. The cursor is not confined to the multiple selection range anymore when moving the cursor
via arrow keys if the Keep selections while typing in multiple selections option is disabled (default).

The new version auto-completes brackets/quotation marks even while multiple selections are made if the Auto-Complete Brackets/Quotation Marks option is enabled in the Highlight (2) page of configuration properties.
The new version allows you to Sort or Delete Duplicate Lines only in selected column ranges of text when multiple selections are made.
The new version allows you to toggle insert/overwrite mode using the Insert/Overwrite command (the INSERT key) while in multiple selection mode.
Improved restore behavior of the cursor position and selection range after the Undo command. For instance the cursor position moves back to the correct position after Undoing the Delete Right Word command (CTRL+DELETE) and also after Undoing the Duplicate Line command while lines are selected.
New default shortcut keys include ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN/UP keys to deselect top/bottom selection from multiple selections (Deselect Top Selection from Multiple Selections and Deselect Bottom Selection from Multiple Selections commands).
Improved the speed of text editing and cursor movement in multiple selection mode.
Improved the speed of opening very large files without using temporary files.
Test results:
Improved the speed while editing a document containing very long lines.
Improved behavior of Word Right (CTRL+RIGHT), Word Left (CTRL+LEFT), Word Right Extend (CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHT), and Word Left Extend (CTRL+SHIFT+LEFT) commands.

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 18.5.0 (Jan 9, 2019)

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 18.4.0 (Dec 19, 2018)

New General Features:
Added the ability to find, replace, find in files, replace in files, and filter with a number range expression. To use a number range in Find, Replace, Find in Files, Replace in Files, or Advanced Filter dialog box, select Number Range from the Mode drop-down list box. To use a number range in Find,
Replace, FindInFiles, ReplaceInFiles, or Filter macros, include the eeExFindNumberRange flag in the ExFlags parameter.
The number range is expressed in interval notation. For instance,
Number Range Meaning
[1 , 9] matches integers 1, 2, 3, …, 9
[ , 9) matches any integers less than 9.
[1.0 , 9.0) matches decimal numbers greater than or equal to 1.0, and less than 9.0.
[ , 1.0) matches any decimal numbers less than 1.0
(2.0 , ] matches any decimal number greater than 2.0
Added the ability to use JavaScript as a replacement expression when using regular expression or number range to replace. For converting replace expressions, EmEditor uses Chakra (JScript v11) for improved speed. Because this engine is seperate from the macro environment, various objects used for macros are not available for replace expressions. Examples of replacement expressions include:
Replacement Expression Meaning
J “” + “abc” appends “abc” at the end of the matched string
J “”.substr( 0, 5 ); returns the first 5 characters of the matched string
J * 100; multiply a matched number with 100
J parseFloat( ).toFixed(2); rounds a matched number to 2 decimal places
J cell( -1 ) returns the text in the left neighbor cell, relative to the matched cell.
J parseFloat( cell( -1 ) ) + parseFloat( cell( -2 ) ) returns the sum of the two neighboring cells on the left

Multiple Selection Editing:
The new version allows you to select multiple locations within a document. To make multiple selections, after making one selection, make another selection with the mouse while pressing the CTRL key. Alternatively, you can press the F8 key, move the cursor to extend the selection, press the F8 key again to finish the selection, move the cursor again to go to the next selection position, and repeat this procedure until you make all selections. Moreover, the Add Next Occurrence command (CTRL+R) will find the same text as the word at the cursor. The Add Next Next Occurrence command will skip the next occurrence, but add the occurrence after the next one. The Select All Occurrences command (CTRL+SHIFT+A) will select all the occurrences.
After you make multiple selections, you can type new text to replace all the selections at once. Pressing the BACKSPACE key removes the last character in each selection. Moreover, you can use many conversion commands against the selections.
The Find All button was added to the Find dialog box, which allows you to select all the occurrences.
Along with multiple selection editing, vertical selection editing has been enhanced. For instance, pressing BACKSPACE with the zero-width vertical selection now removes the last character in each line. This allows you to remove the end portions of text in multiple lines more easily than ever!
Moreover, the Switch Starting Point and Ending Point command (SHIFT+F8) was added. Before the new version, you could move the ending point by pressing arrow keys while pressing the SHIFT key, but couldn't move the starting point. Now with the new version, you can move the cursor to the selection starting point by pressing SHIFT+F8, and then adjust the selection starting point.

More Support for Very Large Files:
EmEditor can now open a file containing a very long line (longer than 4GB). When EmEditor loads a file containing a very long line, it will split the long line into several lines, but it will combine them when saving the file.
Pasting very large text via the Clipboard became more stable by dynamically creating a temporary file.
The various Sort commands and the Delete Duplicate Lines command were also optimized for large files, and there is no longer a limitation of size to run these commands. As you can see from an example below, v13 became 3 to 7 times faster than v12 in the Sort and Delete Duplicate Lines commands when using very large files.
The new version also allows you to combine or split very large files easily. The new Split Current Document to Several Files command allows you to split the current document into several files either every user-specified number of lines, or before every bookmarked line. It also allows you to specify a header and/or footer to each separated file. The new Combine Documents into a Single File command allows you to combine multiple documents into one file.
Multiple File Encoding Conversions:
The new version allows you to convert encodings of many files at the same time. To do this, first open all files that you want to convert with EmEditor, either by pressing CTRL+O to open the Open dialog and selecting multiple files, or by specifying "emeditor.exe *.*", for example, in the Command Prompt window. Then selecting Save All with Encoding on the File menu will allow you to save all documents with a specified encoding.
Quick Launch:
The new Quick Launch command allows you to open a dialog box where you can type a partial keyword to search all the commands. A list box is quickly filled with searched commands, and then you can select which list item you want to launch. The Quick Launch dialog box will search all EmEditor commands, plug-ins, macros, external tools, recently used files, folders, fonts, opened document file names, and much more!
Plug-ins:
HTML Bar plug-in:
The large-size toolbar is now available.
Outline plug-in:
Optimized for speed when displaying outline as guide.
Projects plug-in:
Solution loading operates much more quickly, as projects are not loaded until they are used.
The Reload command was added in the context menu - Solution sub menu. Also, the F5 key was assigned as the Reload command.
The Projects plug-in now supports Visual Studio nested projects.
Other Features:
The Comment/Uncomment commands now work as begin/end comments (for example, /* ... */) in addition to line comments. EmEditor will choose begin/end comments when the middle of a line is selected.
A workspace now saves all bookmarks automatically. Bookmarks will no longer be erased when reloading files.
When creating a new file by specifying a non-existing file name in the Open dialog box, EmEditor will now create a zero-byte empty file.
The Help for each dialog box now contains information about all the controls without needing to navigate through branch items. The Help button was deprecated, and pressing the ? button or the F1 key will bring up the pertinent Help.
A progress bar and a percentage indicator are now displayed in the progress window.
The new Fast Binary Comparison allows for faster sort. Clearing the Stable Sort also allows for faster sort when stable sorting is not necessary.
Find in Files dialog box now shows all associated file extensions of the current configuration in the File Types text box when Current File Type is selected from the > menu.
High-DPI settings supported.
The new version allows you to select text by mouse outside of the text area specified by the Narrowing command.
The installer now allows you to add the Context Menu to Windows Explorer, and to have EmEditor check the updates.
The installer command line options were added: NOCHECKUPDATES, NOCONTEXTMENU, NODESKTOP, NOIEEDITOR, NOIEVIEW, NOPATH, NOSHORTCUT, NOTRAYICON, and NOTXT.
EmEditor Free is back! This time, EmEditor Free is the same executable file as EmEditor Professional. After you try EmEditor Professional for 30 days, you can still use EmEditor Free without purchasing the product for personal use only.
When a user clicks on the left edge or the line numbers, a menu related to bookmarks appears now.

Matching Tag Highlight:
The new version automatically highlights inside a tag and the matching tag at the cursor in XHTML and XML documents. This new feature makes it easy to read documents and find matching tags. This feature will work only when a document is a well-formed XML document. The feature may not work if ending tags are missing from a document such as an old HTML document. In order for this feature to work, the Highlight Matching Tag check box in the Highlight (2) tab of configuration properties must be set.
Moreover, the Find Matching Tag and Matching Tag Extend commands were added to jump conveniently between a tag and the matching tag. By default, CTRL + . and CTRL + SHIFT + . are assigned as default shortcut keys.
Improved Bookmarks:
The already existing bookmark features were improved even more. You can now bookmark searched lines or changes in comparison of two files, invert bookmarks in a document, delete bookmarked lines, or extract bookmarked lines to a new file.
Improved Markers:
The existing Markers features were also improved. The new Add to/Remove from Markers command allows you to quickly add text to or remove text from the Markers toolbar. The Replace command was added to the right-click menu, which allows you to quickly replace the marked text.
The Auto Marker now optionally works only in alphabets and numbers. Moreover, a few more options were added to the Options tab of the Customize Markers dialog box.
Messaging (plug-in):
A simple intranet communication feature was added. After selecting short text, selecting the Send Selected Text plug-in on the Plug-ins toolbar or menu brings up the Send To dialog box to select computers to send to. Selecting computers or setting the Send to All Computers check box will send the selected text to the specified computer(s). EmEditor must be installed on the destination computer(s), and the EmEditor tray icon must be running in order to receive text. When receiving text, a balloon tip will appear. Clicking the balloon tip or right-clicking on the tray icon and selecting the Show Last Message command will open a new EmEditor window with the received text. There is a limit in the length of text to send. Please note that on Windows 2000, a balloon tip will not appear on the tray icon, while on Windows 8, a Toast will appear. The plug-in is available on the library. (32-bit, 64-bit)
Plug-ins:
HTML Bar plug-in
The HTML Bar now remembers its visibility even when the Automatically display the HTML Bar for Selected Configurations check box is not set.
Snippets plug-in

The title of a snippet is now automatically cut off at 79 characters long when text is imported by drag-and-drop from the text area or another application.
The Cut (Ctrl+X), Copy (Ctrl+C), and Paste (Ctrl+V) commands were added to the Snippets plug-in. These commands can be used to copy or move snippets items easily around the snippet tree. The Paste command can be also used to insert a simple text snippet to the snippet tree.
The Snippets text is now displayed as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over an item on the Snippets tree (Context menu - View - Tooltip must be checked in order to enable this feature).
Projects plug-in
The Refresh button was added to the Symbol List custom bar.
The Symbol list now works for files not in a project. The Current File and All Open Files items were added to the Symbol drop-down list.
Expand All and Collapse All commands were added to the Context menu.
Replaced Ctags.exe with the latest version (Ctags v5.8).
Optimization:
When launching EmEditor, the new version doesn't scan My Macro files for #icon and #title anymore. This allows much faster launching of EmEditor. If these #icon and #title lines are modified before EmEditor launches, you will have to select Refresh on the right-click menu of My Macros toolbar.
Windows 8 Support:
This version is designed for and compatible with Windows 8. Touch Input and Flicks are supported including scroll, cut, copy, paste, delete, undo, redo, back, forward, print, save, and others when Touch Input is available. Menus appear left when right-handed Tablet PC settings are used. Moreover, Toast displays incoming messages on Windows 8 when EmEditor receives messages from another PC. This allows viewing incoming messages even when a Metro app is a foreground window.
Other features:

Pressing F3 or Shift + F3 while the Find dialog is open and focused now will function as same as pressing the Find Down or Find Up button.

Toolbar positions are now remembered when you toggle off and on each toolbar, and screen flickering was reduced.
Support for more application command buttons on certain mouse and keyboards, such as new, close, cut, copy, find, paste, delete, undo, redo, back, forward, print, save, search, help, spelling, and others.
New options:
The Right Click + Wheel to Switch Tab check box was added to the Mouse tab of the Customize dialog box.

Markers:
EmEditor currently allows users to set highlight strings. However, in previous versions, you could not add highlight strings temporarily. These limitations have been rectified in the new version.
The new marker feature allows you to specify strings to highlight temporarily. In the context menu displayed by right-clicking, selecting Add to Markers allows you to add the selected text or the word at the cursor position to the list of markers. The list of markers is displayed in the new Markers toolbar. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the selected text to the Markers toolbar to add the text to the list of markers.
Right clicking on each marker in the Markers toolbar displays a context menu, and allows you to enable or disable each marker, search for each marker, or change the match condition (case sensitivity, only word, regular expressions, etc.).
Each marker can be dragged and dropped to change the order of markers and to insert the marker text into the editor. Selecting the Customize Markers from the menu allows you to change the details about the markers. In the Marker List tab, you can change the marker colors, change the marker text, and delete unnecessary markers.
The auto marker is a new feature to automatically highlight text that is the same as the selected text. The Auto Marker tab of the Customize Markers dialog allows you to specify details about the auto marker, such as retrieving the word at the cursor position, matching the word only, or case sensitivity.
Tooltip to show HTML/XML character references:
If the mouse cursor hovers over the HTML/XML character references, the actual Unicode characters appear as a tooltip. Moreover, right-clicking on the tooltip allows to you copy the Unicode characters or convert the document text into the Unicode characters. (The Highlight HTML/XML Character Reference and UCN check box must be set to use this feature. If upgraded from v10, please set this check box to use this feature.)
Find toolbar:
The Find toolbar previously provided as a plug-in has become an EmEditor core feature. The new Find toolbar allows you to drag and drop the text from the editor or from another application to change the search string. Moreover, the Find toolbar extends its functionalities to allow replace in addition to find.
Batch Replace:
The new Batch >> button in the Replace dialog extends the dialog box to include a list for multiple Find/Replace combinations with options. Pressing the Batch Replace button then replaces all of the multiple matched strings with the respective specified strings. This new user interface allows much faster and more intuitive replace operations for frequent use of the replace feature.
Other features:
The new Delete Duplicate Lines command allows you delete duplicate lines in the selection if a portion of text is selected, or in the entire document.
The sort commands now sort the selected text only when a portion of text is selected.

New in Portable EmEditor Professional 10.1.1 (Aug 30, 2011)

New Compare and Synchronize Scrolling features:
The new version of EmEditor allows you to compare two recently viewed files with ease. The comparison results are colored within the documents, arranged side by side. The Diff plug-in has been deprecated. After comparison, the Rescan command allows you to compare modified documents again with the same conditions. The Synchronize Scrolling command scrolls two recently viewed documents synchronously without comparison.
New comparison feature:
The comparison results are being colored. The Compare sub menu was added to the main menu.
New Spelling features:
The new version of EmEditor allows you to check spelling in various languages using the Hunspell library, already used by many applications like OpenOffice and Firefox. As you type, misspelled words are marked with red wiggly underlines. EmEditor allows you to correct misspelled words quickly and easily. The new EmEditor installer includes a U.S. English dictionary. Additional dictionaries are available for download at the OpenOffice.org wiki. Just copy *.dic and *.aff files into the Dictionaries sub folder of the EmEditor install folder (usually C:\Program Files\EmEditor\Dictionaries).
Improved Vertical Selection Editing:
Vertical selection of zero width at the right of the end of lines will cause the selection to move to the end of each line in the selection. Then typing will insert text at the end of each line (even if line lengths are not the same). To begin vertical selection, drag the mouse while pressing the ALT key. For information about the previous features of vertical selection, please refer to Vertical Selection Editing.
Numbering feature:
The new Numbering command allows you to insert sequential numbers or characters at the cursor position or vertical selection.
Outline plug-in new features:
The Outline plug-in now allows you to hide matched strings or replace matched strings with regular expressions, and displays them in the Custom Bar (the Custom type only).
Find Dialog New Features:
The Find dialog box now includes the new Count Matches check box, which displays the number of matches in the status bar when you have searched for a string. The > button on the right side of Find drop-down list now includes Selected Text, Word at Cursor, Custom, Save as Default, and Multiline commands.
Find in Files Dialog New Features:
The > button on the right side of Find drop-down list now includes Selected Text, Word at Cursor, Custom, and Save as Default commands. Another > button was added to the right side of the File Types drop-down list box. This button includes Current File Type, Current File, and Save as Default. The ... button on the right side of the In Folder drop-down list box was changed to the > button. This button includes Current Folder, Parent Folder, Grand Parent Folder, Custom, and Save as Default commands.
Other features:
The CSV mode now allows you to include new lines in a cell. Embedded returns are displayed as M (CR) and/or J (LF) in the reversed background color when the Show Control Characters check box is checked in the Marks tab of configuration properties.
The context menu displayed by right-clicking on a folder in Windows Explorer now includes the new Find in Files with EmEditor command.
The auto recovery feature now opens the last used workspace automatically (the Recovered Files dialog has been deprecated). When updating EmEditor with the new installer, EmEditor windows will be automatically closed, and they will be reopened as the last used workspace.
The new installer now allows several language editions in a single installer (currently English and Japanese are included).
The new Update Checker that came with the new installer is used now (v9 Update Checker has been deprecated).
New command line option /cmp was added.
When localized language files are old, EmEditor now automatically uses English strings and dialog box resources whenever possible.
EmEditor now supports a combination of left (&l), center (&c), and right (&r) align for Print header and footer.
Binary (Hexadecimal View) mode now includes ASCII view side by side.
Vertical selection is now limited to logical selections (multiple selections because of line wraps do not count any more).
In the previous version, a new untitled document was opened after canceling the dialog box that appears when reloading a file with invalid characters. This has been fixed, except when opening a huge file asynchronously.
Default PHP highlight strings were updated to the latest PHP function list.
A new replacement expression (?n:true_expression:false_expression) was added to the regular expression syntax.
