I cannot agree with what you wrote. No text editor can fulfill all requirements all users have on a text editor. If such a text editor would exist, all people would use that text editor and no other text editor would be available. Actually some are getting close. There is even a resurgence in Emacs...

The issue with the TAB key shows a severe lack of industry knowledge was behind the product design. The definition and function of a TAB is by no means new. It's basically like this. I shouldn't have to hack an editor someone expects me to pay for. Any tweaks should be a menu option or an add-on the...

Then it is bad design which itself is a bug. Even EDT on the PDP-11 did this correctly. The number of spaces inserted were controlled by the terminal. So did TECO, an even older text editor. Even Emacs gets this right. You can download it and try it yourself. Yes there is a version for the virus kno...

I don't see a bug here. A tab stop of 4 with using spaces means clearly that pressing key tab at beginning of a line results in inserting four spaces and so the next character is at column 5 with counting first column of a line as column 1 as shown in status bar. One more tab results in inserting a...

There should be no problem to configure tab stops specific for COBOL. UltraEdit supports the definition of multiple tab stops for files with a specific file extension. Actually UE on Linux has had a long standing bug here. When one sets the tab stop to 4 and is configured to use spaces, the first t...

I'm getting back into COBOL which is one of the reasons I'm once again looking at UltraEdit. Most PC editors tend to stink at this. I've included a screenshot of the Sublime Text plugin. Yes, they get some/many of the keywords correct for syntax highlighting. Yes, you can set a right margin indicato...

I recently purchased an Android 2 in 1 from North Korea Inc. (Walmart) because I'm going to be doing some Qt development targeted at Android and I needed a sacrificial device. It would be nice if UE could cross compile the Linux version for Android. Maybe release it under Termux? https://termux.com ...

I went to this page: https://www.ultraedit.com/downloads/extras/themes.html to download some themes. The Chocolate Mint and Classic do not have a blue download icon when selected but the Classic Grey did. My version of UE on Linux did not have the Classic or Chocolate Mint themes, I would like to ob...

The UEX .deb for Ubuntu 16 64-bit (probably both) does not actually install on a Ubuntu 16.04 machine. It relies on gksudo which has been deprecated for years and is now no longer supported. http://askubuntu.com/questions/653459/cant-install-gksu-says-it-cant-find-it If a version really does exist i...

I guess I have a long wait then. Linux is on version 4.1.0.5

I know, this is a programming editor, but, you already have word wrap and a spell check function, I'm only asking that you have an option to turn it on for "spell as you go" or "timed check highlighting". Trust me, using UltraEdit as a word processor is the LAST thing I wanted to do. WordPress has a...

Well, technically, a menu option to delete old versions, especially all old versions is necessary. When you finish a project and are looking to cleanup for insertion to code management or simply a zip file for distribution, you don't want to have to delete 20+ versions of every file you ever edited ...

All, I recently started using UE on 64-bit OpenSuSE. While it is nice that it keeps previous versions of files in your directory, it would be nicer if there was a tool or option one could select from the toolbar or menu to purge all prior versions of a file. I'm very used to file versioning since I ...
