UltraEdit, UltraCompare, UEStudio forums

Hi, first of all I want to thank Ian for this TOP product. I'm using UltraEdit since version 4.xx and am still using this very cool program, but since version 12 it is getting slower when it starts. Is there a new code or why is the starting more slowly?  :?:  :?:

I think these three things are called fold items: code_folding_item.png Is there a way to collapse and or expand all of them at once? Thanks!

[April 2023] Beta testers may have seen the changed icon for UltraEdit – not a huge fan to be honest, so I extracted the Icons from the UE 2022.2 – the gold gradient circle with black border – which you can download below, you can use this for file associations for example or launchers etc.

Hello everyone. This is Tristan—marketing manager for UltraEdit.  As some of you may have noticed, the UltraEdit website has been given a refresh in early 2023. Apart from aesthetic reasons, this was executed because we wanted to streamline the website experience from downloading free trials, gettin...

I have the UltraEdit Professional Text/HEX Editor (x64)  Version 22.20.0.49 configured to SFTP/SSH a known Linux host on two different laptops both running Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise Version 10.0.19045. One of the laptops successfully connects as expected for Browse SFTP, etc. but the other cra...

Hello, I see a "Set Font dialog" mentioned in the UltraCompare Help Index, but I can't see how to activate it from menu or ribbon. The default font does not make a good job of displaying combining diacritic characters.  In UltraEdit I use the Consolas font without any problems. Thank you.

Hi, I'm using currently latest version 2023.1.0.19 of UltraEdit and I can't find the menu items to make the following happen. Requirements: When opening a new file or file tab, the display of the file tabs should always be oldest on the left, newest on the right. The file tabs should never be sorted...

I searched but could not find a solution to split the editor to allow working with two open files next do each other. I found the UltraEdit power tip: " Drag-N-Drop Split Pane Editing " But this does not help. In the note is written: "In order to use the vertical/horizontal split window, you need to...

Is UltaEdit for Mac compatible with M1 Macs? Can it run in Big Sur? When is the next UltaEdit for MacOs release going to be, I noticed the current release is a year old. 

I have had my syntax highlighting configuration working for years and recently this feature isn't working as it used to. I prefix my input arguments with i_ and constants with c_ for SQL stored procedures. Both are immutable once set in the procedure so I make them the same color. Recently, since up...

I enabled OTP (One Time Password) on my Solaris server which uses PAM (Privileged Access Management) modules. On Bitvise SSH/Putty, enabling keyboard+interactive allows me to enter the OTP from GA. I did not see an option to do that using UltraEdit for the SSH connection to the Unix server. Is there...

Thanks Code folding just work...

Immediately after updating UltraEdit to version 28.10.0.154 on Windows 10, it lost the ability to show any fonts other than the monospace fonts. It is behaving as though I am always restricted to the column mode fonts, even when not in column mode. Please advise, thank you.

Showing Command Palette with hotkey Ctrl+Shift+P doesn't work in UEStudio, but does in UltraEdit. I can use the command palette by clicking the button in top right of the application, but I would like the hotkey to get it to show. I searched the key mapping, but didn't see anything for the command p...

It seems I have done this before; I must have. I am at a line in a text file. A line other than the first line. My cursor is at the first column of that line. I would like to "select" from that line all the way to bottom of the file. How do I do that? I have situations where don't need the wrappers ...

It appears that the upgrade to V11 has changed the font size on the "Open File Tabs" and made it smaller. It's a bit hard on the eyes on my screen - is this configurable?

I'd like to view/edit 2 files simultaneously in the same UE session and position the files vertically side-by-side. I found a topic that discussed vertical "split" but only by opening two UE sessions. TIA, Phil

I am looking to have multiple views within same instance. Grouping 2 or + tabs on left side of view and 2+ tabs on right side view.

Running UE 24.00.0.56 on a Windows 7 Pro laptop. Got a new laptop with Windows 10 Pro. I went into UE to backup my settings (Advanced -> Backup Settings). Got the Backup/Restore User Customizations window and did a Select All, then Backup. Installed UE on the new machine and restored that backup fil...

I am looking for the configuration menu. Specifically, I am interested in changing colors for syntax highlighting. Thanks for the assist.

Splitting one document works. But viewing 2 documents side by side is not possible in version 15.1.0.8. I am not able to drag a tab to do this. UltraEdit 15.0.0.11 works fine, so I went back to this version.

I can't split a window with drag & drop from the open file tabs bar with UEStudio v15.30.0.16. I restored UES v15.30.0.15 and it works fine.

Hi I can't figure out how to place a individual user tool ("User Tool 1", "User Tool 2", etc.) directly in a ribbon. Now I just manage to place the menu "User Tools" (see picture) in a ribbon. Any way to do that? UERibbon.jpg Regards Johan

The recent update for UE on OS X (v15 to v16) has changed the i-beam cursor behavior. Previous behavior was to select either to the left or the right edge of the cursor depending on position over a character. For instance on a aaWbb I could have the mouse cursor over the middle of the 'W' character ...

I upgraded to v22 but do not see the new features like Trim Leading Spaces and Split Window Vertically in the menus. They are available in the Configuration/Customize Menus. How can I add the new features automatically to the menus?

I have code that for a set of operator command functions uses a macro to define the function, rather than having the function() declaration in each module. This is done to standardize and simplify the function declarations across quite a number of individual code modules. The following example shows...

I'm using UC 15.0.0.1006 I'm pretty sure that at one time, the active line window showed the difference in the active line. This was especially useful if the difference was in whitespace, especially if a space was 0x20 in one file and 0xA0 in the other. Is there a way to make the display in the acti...

Does anyone know how to Freeze the first row so you can see the first row when you are on row 250 when cleaning up data?

Will a feature be added to allow us to bookmark paths for our FTP sites? I have some rather long and frequently used paths that are a pain to navigate.

Found no way to open correctly files in DOS 866: Cyrillic Russian when they created some were else. Is it possible? Savings not correct as well. Instead 866 file saved in 1251 ANSI - Cyrillic (if anything visible). And copy paste of Russian Language characters not working with any font and encoding....

I just upgraded my UltraEdit to version 21.20.0.1014. I can open a member in a dataset on z/OS system by FTP, when I make changes, I cannot save it back to the system, the session in block, I cannot do anything. I can create a brand new file and FTP to the same dataset on z/OS, but cannot make any c...

I am a new user to UltraCompare/UltraEdit. I work primarily with z/OS assembler source that was originally developed using z/OS ISPF, and downloaded recently for maintenance using Git+SourceTree for VCS and now UltraEdit for text editor. This resulted in source code stored in Git in fixed 80-byte re...

I found some text in my file, then I used "Show Lines" to show only the lines that contained the found text. Now, how do I quickly reverse the effect of "Show Lines" and get back to viewing the entire text file? I mean, without just re-loading the file.

I have just update to UltraEdit v20.00.0.1052 and I like the new features. However, it seems the function lists were changed again and now I have less and less use of the function list. only basic c++ functions are displayed. I've determined that one of the problems is that it doesn't allow for any ...

Most of the coding I do is in MVS (z/OS) assembler. I have a wordfile that provides syntax highlighting for this and identifies the functions (or CSECTs in MVS terms) in the assembler source. These are displayed in the UE function list as they are for C functions. I would also like the syntax highli...

I just went to change the language back to English (from Chinese).

Hello, I want to be able to delete all lines not containing a certain character, in this case an UnderScore "_". If someone can help with this I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance…

I have started work on a C++11 wordfile. Before I go to the trouble of completing it, I thought I'd check and see if anyone else has already done the work on it, or at least find out what others think should be included in it. I have started out with the c_plusplus.uew that comes with UltraEdit 18.1...
