Other Enhancements in Epsilon 14
- Right-clicking now displays a context menu on all platforms, not
just Windows. The variables
c-mode-mouse-to-tag and
mouse-goes-to-tag were deleted. See the revised
mouse-to-tag command to restore the old behavior.
- The save-all-buffers command now reports which files it
saved.
- File names and tag names may now be up to 4095
characters long (previously, 255 and 1023 respectively).
- The right-click context menu now has a "Web Search" item, which
runs the new web-search command to open a tab in your browser
displaying the results. You can edit the web-search-url variable
to change the search provider used.
- In a concurrent process buffer, completion
now works on environment variable names (in addition to file and
command names).
- If an external curl or wget program is installed, Epsilon can
run it to display https:// URLs in a buffer.
- When typing a URL at a file prompt, completion now works on the
host name and user name portion. Epsilon uses its prompt response
history to collect matching host names and user names. Similarly, when
typing the path portion of an http or https URL, Epsilon completes
using previous responses that match the partial URL.
- Epsilon now tries to set the buffer directory of ssh and
telnet buffers to a suitable scp or ftp URL, so that commands
like find-file will prompt with a more useful default path.
- The new all-read-only variable can be used to make buffers
read-only by default.
- The new this-buffer-grep command provides a shortcut for
grepping just the current buffer.
- The grep and file-query-replace commands now
skip files over 2 GB in size by default. The new
grep-ignore-file-max-size variable controls this.
- The new select-and-grep command lets you set up named
shorthand sets of ignore rules, then select which set to use. By
default, the "all" set makes grep search all matching files, no matter
their name, extension, or size, instead of excluding many binary-type
files and very large files.
- Various grep subcommands now work properly when a single match
spans multiple lines in the grep buffer.
- The filter-region and shell-command commands, on
Alt-| and Alt-!, now interpret a negative argument to mean "prompt for
the buffer name to receive the program's output". As before, the
default is to use a standard name, and an argument greater than one
puts the output in the current buffer (for filter-region only,
replacing the region's text send to the external program).
- Dired mode now recognizes @ to toggle the
read-only property of a given file. The quick-dired-command on
Alt-o also recognizes this key, so Alt-o @ toggles the current file's
read-only status.
- File name templates now recognize new
codes %h for the host name of a URL and %c for Epsilon's
customization directory.
- The new set-bookmark-automatically variable may be used to
make Epsilon set a bookmark at the previous location following a
search.
- Epsilon now supports mice with up to five buttons, via new key
codes. By default, buttons four and five page up and down.
- The mode-format variable now understands a new code %o to
display the numeric value of Epsilon's variable "point" (the character
count from the start of the buffer).
- To improve performance, on buffers bigger than 10 MB, Epsilon no
longer updates the function name (or other mode-specific contextual
information) displayed in the mode line when you click and drag the
scroll box. You can set this size limit with the new variable
mouse-update-during-scroll. Epsilon will update the mode line
once you release the mouse button.
- The draw-column-markers variable in Epsilon for Windows now
allows defining up to 100 column markers.
- For safety, dired no longer permits you to mark the ..
parent directory entry for deletion, and suggests you edit the parent
directory and delete it from there.
- Regular expressions now understand <ident> as a synonym
for <word>, matching a letter, digit, or underscore character.
- When a buffer has no newline at the very end, the blank space to
the right of the last character is now painted with the same color and
attribute as subsequent blank lines, instead of the color and
attribute of the last character in the buffer.
