MultiEdit site bye-bye

[HBQuerier]

Hi,

I was archiving some of my older folders, and noticed the Multi-Edit folder.

Out of curiosity, I tried to look at their forum and it turns out they shut down in October 2022.

Had some melancholy moments, there.  I'm happy with Kresin's HBEdit currently, but MultiEdit was there since the beginning.  Their Evolve macro was amazing.

Agree entirely.

Hi

Melancholy indeed, they faithfully allowed me to move my license over to so many new machines over the years. One thing I still miss in VSCode (or any other editor I've tried) is that their undo/redo included cursor movements, which was strangely helpful on occasion.

Hey Alex, FWIW, xEditW's UnDo/ReDo also include all operations including cursor movements.

Hi Ron

Oh, interesting, thank you.

I think I am too much of a VSCode fan boy now to change.

They also offered a portable license that could be moved from machine to machine.

They struggled to build a new editor for several years, but the developers weren't able to get it done.

Even if they were able to finish it, I doubt if they could have made it feel as lightweight as ME 2008 was.

As a VSCode fan boy ;) can yoy mark/copy/paste/delete a column block like in ME?

I couldn't find the way as with other couple of functions I miss.

No (as of last time I checked few months back), but you can get a PlugIn called 'Indent one space' which support both SPACE (1 column) and TAB (3 or columns as per your tab I suppose) as well as support for SHIFT+SPACE SHIFT+TAB to PULL LEFT - so you mark the block you want to MOVE, and SPACE/TAB (or with SHIFT) will push your block RIGHT or or pull it LEFT (SHIFT) - providing similar  functionality. I too was surprised it was not standard feature.

Hi Claudio

Haha, I guess you know about CTL-ALT-UP and -DOWN which get you a long way? I think that mult-edit ignored line endings which sometimes is frustrating in VSCode when you just want a straight column regardless. If you make the selection too long or short (which I do quite often when scrolling) you can add and subtract from the cursors with ALT-LCLICK.

I occasionally use Cursor Align and Cursor Trim add-ons from Mike Moore (yo1.dog) which are great when you need them.
