New: Encrypt and decrypt files
Secure your sensitive data with the new file encryption feature in UltraEdit v3.1! Now you can encrypt the active file with a password of your choice and optionally delete the original (unencrypted) file. To decrypt a file, simply open it - UltraEdit will recognize the encryption and prompt you for the password. UltraEdit's file encryption uses the AES-256 algorithm standard.
New: Preview HTML with integrated browser preview
Now you can write and preview your HTML...without ever leaving UltraEdit! Simply click the "Browser View" icon in the main toolbar and UltraEdit will switch the view of the active file from source to rendered HTML.
New: Get around easier with the split "Places" pane
The (optional) split "Places" pane makes navigating through directories and picking files a breeze. Drill down to the directory you need in the top pane, then pick the file(s) you want in the bottom pane. Sort files on name, date modified, type, and size. You can toggle the split "Places" pane with the folder icon at the top-right of the file view.
New: Automatic paragraph reformatting
Have you been left with messy text with erratic hard wraps and inconsistent indentation? Let UltraEdit clean it up for you with the new paragraph formatting options! To quickly reformat a paragraph, place your caret anywhere inside of it and select "Reformat Paragraph" in the "Format" menu. Or you can reformat the entire file by selecting it. You can access settings for paragraph formatting in Format -> Paragraph Formatting -> Paragraph Setup/Formatting.

New: Manage your project with Ctags

This allows you to quickly locate the definition of any function, class, variable, or other objects by pressing a single hotkey (Ctrl + Shift + F11 on Mac, F11 on Linux).
New: Drag-and-drop text
Moving text is a snap with drag-and-drop! Simply highlight the portion of text you want to move, then click and drag it to the desired location. You can even drag text to different files in other applications or drag it into Finder/Nautilus to create a new file containing the dragged text.
New: Highlight all occurrences of selected word
Want to quickly highlight all occurrences of a string in your file? This is now possible three different ways:
- Hold Shift and double-click a word
- Press Cmd/Ctrl + . (highlights all occurrences of word under caret)
- Press the new "Highlight All Selected" toolbar icon (highlights all occurrences of word under caret)
New: Set-and-forget check for updates
Who wants to worry about remembering to check for updates? V3.0 includes an easy, no-hassle, automated Check for Updates feature which will tell you whether or not an update is available, and whether or not the update is within your license's free upgrade eligibility period! Of course you can always check for updates yourself via the Help menu.
New: Search additions
V3.0 includes some helpful new additions to Find, such as incremental search (press Cmd + Shift + I to activate), a much improved highlight all items found, and word count for the entire file or selected text.
