Boxer Text Editor

jgpaiva: of course localized UI strings are useful for non-english people, my point was just that those strings shouldn't go in source files but instead in external resources. Non-ASCII has no place in source files.

Sure, it's slightly more work than embedding strings directly, but it pays off in the end. Especially once that little in-house tool has grown enough to be useful for other people, or your little local company merges/hires abroad... and it teaches you better habits as well.

Boxer Software:
2. I saw there's project handling in Boxer. Is it possible (even through macro script) to jump to the definition of a function from the place of its call?

Now this is one I am willing to comment on. It's not related to the Project handling (in my mind), but I have already coded a "Jump to Declaration" command that allows for quick movement from a function reference (at the text cursor) to the point at which the function is declared.  This command will also be accessible via the macro language.

Since it's already done, I don't mind "promising" that one.  :)

Best,

David

Boxer is now at version 13 and it now speaks UTF-8 / 16, yay! Will definitely try this release.
Here's part of an email that came today:

PORTABLE/USB EDITING - install Boxer to a USB memory stick for
portable, on-the-go editing.  All of Boxer's configuration files
are maintained on the removable medium, and no traces are left on
the host machine.

HEX/BINARY EDITING - Boxer can now be used to edit hex files in a
custom hex editing mode.  Edit using two-digit hex codes, or by
entering ASCII characters directly.

UNICODE EDITING - edit UTF-8 and UTF-16 Unicode files, or convert
among ASCII/Unicode formats.  Edit XML files, log files, registry
files etc, and any other Unicode files whose multi-byte content
can be mapped onto the current code page.

VISTA COMPATIBLE - Boxer is now fully compatible with Windows
Vista.  Boxer maintains its configuration files in a separate
"AppData" folder, apart from its installation location in
"Program Files," in accordance with Vista's User Account Control
(UAC) feature.

... and many, many more.  See the full list here:

Yes, I certainly do have UTF-8 support on the to-do list.
