![]() ![]() If you often copy and paste whole lines of text, you may want to turn on “paste whole lines when lines are copied as a whole”. Normally, when you paste text, that text is inserted at the position of the text cursor, regardless of where the cursor is placed and which text is being pasted. You can turn off the option “copy active line when nothing is selected” if you want EditPad to disable the Cut and Copy commands when no text is selected, as most Windows applications do. This allows you to quickly cut and copy whole lines, as it removes the need to select them. If no text is selected, these commands cut or copy the active line. In EditPad, the Edit|Cut and Edit|Copy are always enabled by default. People with limited dexterity using a mouse may find themselves accidentally moving text when trying to select text. It also allows you to drag text from EditPad into other applications. This allows drag-and-drop editing within EditPad. Turn on “Control+Wheel changes the font size instead of scrolling one page” if you prefer to change the font rather than to scroll quickly when using Ctrl+Wheel.īy default, “selected text can be moved or copied by dragging it with the mouse” is turned on. But EditPad Pro can mimic zooming by increasing or decreasing the font size of the active file. As a plain text editor, EditPad Pro does not have the ability to zoom. In many other applications, Ctrl+Wheel zooms in our out. Essentially, holding down the Ctrl key speeds up scrolling with the mouse wheel. Holding down the Ctrl key while rotating the mouse wheel scrolls the active file one screen up or down. In EditPad, rotating the mouse wheel scrolls the active file 3 lines up or down. Shift+Arrow Up will clear the selection while Shift+Arrow Down will expand the selection. The line below the selection will be highlighted as the active line. If you turn off this option then EditPad places the cursor at the end of the selection, which is at the start of the next line. Shift+Arrow Up will expand the selection while Shift+Arrow Down will clear the selection. This way the selected line is the line that is highlighted as the active line. If you turn on “keep the same line active when selecting an entire line” then EditPad places the cursor at the start of the selected line. The selection will include the line break at the end of the line. You can select an entire line by double-clicking its line number, Ctrl+double clicking the line itself, or triple-clicking the line itself. Click the Background Color button to change the highlight color. Click on “editor: highlight active line” in the list. You can configure the color of the active line in the color palette for each file type. If you want it to be highlighted permanently, turn on “maintain highlight after losing keyboard focus” too. Just like the text cursor itself, the active line is only highlighted when the editor has keyboard focus. This option has no effect when word wrap is off. You can turn on “also highlight lines wrapped from the active line” to highlight the entire paragraph that the active line is part of when word wrap is on. The active line is the line the text cursor is on. Highlighting the active line makes it easier to keep track of where you are in the file, particularly when switching between EditPad and other applications. ![]() When line break scanning is completed the line numbers are updated immediately to positive numbers counting from the start of the file.On the Editor tab of the Preferences you can set the options that affect basic editing tasks that are not file type specific. The last line in the file gets number -1, the penultimate line -2, and so on. So while line break scanning continues in the background, EditPad shows negative line numbers for the bottom half of the file. But EditPad won’t know the correct line numbers for the lines scanned from bottom to top until all line breaks have been counted. This allows you to immediately start working with the lines at the top and at the bottom of the file, no matter how large your file is. EditPad scans the file for line breaks from top to bottom and from bottom to top at the same time using two background threads. You may temporarily see negative line numbers if you open a very large file and immediately jump to the end of the file. Then only the first line of each paragraph gets a line number. Tick “count physical lines only” if you do not want word wrap to affect line numbering. There you can also choose whether word wrap should affect line numbers or not. ![]() You can set the default state on the Editor page in the file type configuration. Turn on Options|Line Numbers to have EditPad display a number before each line in the left margin. ![]() Options|Line Numbers Options|Line Numbers ![]()
