Run

This will bring up the Source Edit Run dialog box which will allow you to open a program, folder, document, or Internet resource.

RGB Mixer

This command will bring up the RGB Mixer dialog box.

This tool allows you to mix a color using red, green, and blue values and you can insert the color in one of eleven different formats. The RGB Mixer also includes 3 different color palettes.

Insert Strings

This tool will bring up a dialog box that allows you to type in a starting and an ending string that will be added to each of the selected lines in the current document. This can be very usefull when you copy text between different documents. For example: let's say you have the following SQL statement in one file:

SELECT Field1, Field2
FROM tblTableName
WHERE ID=1
AND Field1 LIKE '%a%'
ORDER BY Field2;


Now you want to put this in a VBScript file in which you need to change the text to the following:

sSql = "SELECT Field1, Field2" & _
"FROM tblTableName" & _
"WHERE ID=1" & _
"AND Field1 LIKE '%a%'" & _
"ORDER BY Field2;"


You can then use this tool to add a quotation mark at the start of each line and a quotation mark, ampursand, and the underscore character ( " & _ ) at the end of each line.

With the Insert after indentation option checked, the starting string will be inserted before the first non-whitespace character. Otherwise, the starting string will be inserted at the first character position of each selected line.
