about Command line parameters

Use a different INI file AkelPad.ini for Akelpad, like TC:
totalcmd.exe [/i=name.ini] [/f=ftpname.ini]

You can do it yourself, using .cmd file.
Example:

Code: Select all

::Runs AkelPad with different .ini files
::
::Usage:
::AkelPadIni.cmd iniId editFile
::  iniId - ini flie identifier:
::    0 - standard AkelPad.ini
::    1 - AkelPad1.ini
::    _myini - AkelPad_myini.ini
::
::To hide console window can use nircmd: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
::
::Examples:
::nircmd.exe execmd "%ProgramFiles%\AkelPad\AkelPadIni.cmd" 0 E:\Txt\abc.txt
::nircmd.exe execmd E:\Program\TXT\AkelPad\AkelPadIni.cmd 1 E:\Txt\abc.txt

::AkelPad directory, eg:
::set AkelDir=%ProgramFiles%\AkelPad\
set AkelDir=E:\Program\TXT\AkelPad\

set AkelPadExe="%AkelDir%AkelPad.exe"
set AkelPadIni="%AkelDir%AkelPad.ini"
set AkelIniPar="%AkelDir%AkelPad%1.ini"
set AkelIniTmp="%AkelDir%AkelPad.ini.tmp"

if [%1]==[] (
  %AkelPadExe% %2
  goto:eof
)

if [%1]==[0] (
  %AkelPadExe% %2
  goto:eof
)

if not exist %AkelIniPar% (
  %AkelPadExe% %2
  goto:eof
)

if exist %AkelIniTmp% (
  %AkelPadExe% %2
  goto:eof
)

copy %AkelPadIni% %AkelIniTmp%
copy %AkelIniPar% %AkelPadIni%

%AkelPadExe% %2

copy %AkelPadIni% %AkelIniPar%
copy %AkelIniTmp% %AkelPadIni%
del %AkelIniTmp%

You can do it yourself, using Macros plugin.
In short, you can record macro that call "Find" dialog and check/uncheck all necessary options. After then assign shortcut key to recorded macro.

Code: Select all

For Match case only: {Ctrl+F}{TAB}{+}{TAB}{-}{TAB}{-}{TAB}{-}
For Whole word only: {Ctrl+F}{TAB}{-}{TAB}{+}{TAB}{-}{TAB}{-}
For Reg. expr. only: {Ctrl+F}{TAB}{-}{TAB}{-}{TAB}{+}{TAB}{-}
For Esc-sequen only: {Ctrl+F}{TAB}{-}{TAB}{-}{TAB}{-}{TAB}{+}
More details please look here: AkelPad Plugins Manual. It is outdated, but still very useful.

Built-in searh / replace function

Post by ololik »

It would be great to have a built-in searh / replace function (like it works in TED Notepad, but with search history) and option to switch beetween classic and built-in search.

You can put classic and built-in search switching option into the

Options > Settings > Advanced

menu.

Thanks.

I guess you mean docked search/replace. Docked search is currently available via QSearch plugin.

Hi again :-).
Another useful feature whitch is missing in AkelPad is a sorting (like in Notepad2).

For example we have some list in text file:

Barfuss
Bridge to Terabithia
Seven Pounds
Avatar
Men of Honor

If it were in AkelPad, we should do:
CTRL+A > Edit > Selection > Sort
and will get ABC sorted list:

Avatar
Barfuss
Bridge to Terabithia
Men of Honor
Seven Pounds

Yeh, I got it! Thanks a lot.
But I wish there will be not only 2 option to call it

1. Options > Plug-ins... > Select Format::LineSortIntAsc > Press Call
2. Hot key

but also in Edit > Selection menu.


By the way, I would implement into the program core the functionality of these 2 plugins:
- Quick Search (which will turns on-off in Options > Settings > Advanced)
- Line Sorting (which calls from Edit > Selection)
I think for many users working with plugins is too difficult.

all the menus are configurable. You may add a menuitem to "Edit" menu that would call Format::LineSortIntAsc.
You should read the manual for "context menu" plugin.

Is it possible to add option (or plugin) to save text as picture?

It would be nice to have option to choose extension (jpg, png, bmp...), font size, color of text and background...
