What are Environments?

An environment allows you to toggle between editor layouts so as to allow you the ability to switch menus, toolbars, dockable windows, customized templates, and more based on your tasks/needs. Environments provide a way for you to customize the editor exactly as you'd like, and then save and switch to it at the click of a button. Visit our environments power tip to learn more.

Open an Environment in a new instance

Should you wish to maintain your current environment while switching over to a new one in a new instance of the application, you can easily do so by CTRL + clicking on the environment you'd like to switch to!

Below are just some of the features included with this environment; for a more exhaustive look at the core featureset of UEStudio, take the UEStudio tour.

WebSearch toolbar

The WebSearch toolbar allows you to highlight a selection of text within the editor and then search for that text in your default browser on any number of search engines. For instance, perhaps you've downloaded a PHP file from your server that calls a PHP function that you don't know. Simply highlight the function and click the PHP.net icon on the WebSearch toolbar, and your query is sent to PHP.net for the function in question. The WebSearch toolbar currently provides search support for the following sites:

• Google search
• Yahoo search
• Wikipedia
• Dictionary.com
• Thesaurus.com
• Whois
• Network Solutions Whois
• PHP.net search
• cplusplus.com search
• MSDN online search

Templates

Templates are user-created chunks of text that you may use repeatedly for many of your editing tasks. For instance, instead of typing out a new HTML document's DOCTYPE declaration, you could type it into a new template, then quickly access it via the templates list. UEStudio supports up to 50 user-created templates, and the Technical Writer environment template list is populated with a collection of several commonly used HTML code chunks.

Clipboard history

The clipboard history provides a pallet of recently used copied text. This is very useful when doing much copying/pasting between documents, and double-clicking a clipboard history item inserts it into the current position of the active document. To clear the clipboard history, right-click within the window and select "Clear Clipboard History". This right-click menu also includes an option for the clipboard history options which include display and sort order.

Bookmark list

Quickly jump to anchor positions in your text files with UEStudio's bookmarks. The bookmark list displays all bookmarks (by their names, if assigned) for the active file; double-click a bookmark name to jump to that bookmark in the file.

Syntax Highlighting

Syntax highlighting allows you to visually sort your code by highlighting related parts of the source code as different colors. For instance, if you're editing HTML files, you may want all <h> (heading) tags to highlight a certain color, while your <meta> tags will highlight differently. This is all defined in the wordfile - a collection of language-specific keywords from where UEStudio draws its syntax highlighting. UEStudio includes syntax highlighting support for as many as 20 highlighting languages at once, but there are wordfiles for almost any coding language available for download from our site, which may be added to your main wordfile.txt. You can also build your own build your own wordfile for syntax highlighting.

Syntax highlighting also provides code folding, brace matching, autoindentation, autocorrection, and more.

Tabbed Workspace Manager with Classviewer

Enhanced file tree view with tabs for displaying files for the active Project, a listing of currently open files, or an Explorer-like view of available drives/directories, and access to your FTP/SFTP accounts in the tree view. Also includes filters and a "Lists" tab for maintaining favorite file groups. UEStudio includes a Classviewer tab at the bottom of the workspace manager for a parsed visual representation of the active development project. To learn how to use the classviewer, read our classviewer power tip.

Status Bar

UEStudio's status bar holds a wealth of information for you. Included on the status bar are the cursor's line and column numer, file format information, syntax highlighting language information, the file's last modification date and time, file size, current selected clipboard information, and more.

Powerful Find and Replace

UEStudio is famous for its powerful find/find and replace dialogs. With v14, we introduced multi-line find and replace dialogs, which allows you to easily search for (and replace) multiple lines of text with the click of a button.

You'll also be able to easily access recently-used search phrases as well as search favorites via our search and replace history and favorites buttons on the dialog. The dialogs also include Advanced options for advanced search operations such as regular expressions, columnar search, and the ability to output a list of lines containing your search string.

With UEStudio's powerful find and replace engine, you can search through a single open file, all open files, or any directory on your system. Easily accessed with CTRL + F for Find, or CTRL + R for replace, you'll quickly find that our powerful search engine is a tool you simply can't do without.
