Documentation Updates
The following items are not covered in Using HomeSite.
Interface change for Files label
The documentation uses the label "Universal Files" to identify the new tab that replaces the Local Files and Remote Files tabs. This label was changed to "Files" after the documentation was completed. This change affects the Tool Help popup for that tab and other interface elements.
New Editor options in the Settings dialog (F8):
- Maintain horizontal cursor position -- When this option is checked, the cursor attempts to maintain its horizontal position (column) as you move up and down within the document text. If the line is shorter than the original horizontal position, the cursor will be positioned at the end of the line. This option is active by default.
- Allow cursor past end of line -- When this option is checked, the cursor can be positioned past the last character of text on a line. When the cursor is moved up and down through the document text, the horizontal position is maintained regardless of the line length.
- Show hidden characters -- When this option is checked, the editor will display non-printing characters, such as spaces, tabs, and carriage returns.
Collapsed text shortcut keys
You can now assign keyboard shortcuts to the collapsed text features of the code editor. The shortcuts include:
- Collapse current selection
- Collapse full tag (collapses the tag at the current cursor position)
- Collapse all identical tags (collapses all tags identical to the one at the cursor position)
- Expand text (expands collapsed text next to cursor)
- Expand all collapsed sections
Expression Builder
- The Expression Builder is now resizable. The splitter bar above the help pane can also be used to modify the size of the help display.
- When inserting functions in Expression Builder the first argument of the function is now automatically pre-selected for further editing.
Toolbars
- Added floating help that shows the toolbar name, when you float the mouse over the dock/undock bar on the left-hand side of the toolbar. Hold the mouse pointer over the double vertical lines to the left of the toolbar to see the floating help.
- Added a menu command to the Toolbar menu that moves all open toolbars to the QuickBar. Right click any of the Toolbars and Select "Move All to Quickbar".
- Enabled the docking of the Quickbar to the right or left of the other toolbars when they are docked.
- Made Quickbar floatable. Select the double vertical lines to the left of the Quickbar to either dock it somewhere else or make it a floating window.
