UltraEdit v18.10: What's important now is polish!

As our loyal users have come to expect with UltraEdit point releases, the central focus is polish! With UltraEdit v18.10 we have taken the past few months to enhance performance and fine-tune existing functionality. The result is a substantial maintenance installment that delivers on your expectation of text editing perfection. Along with this maintenance release are a few of your most requested enhancements! We are especially excited about indent-based code folding for our Python programmers as well as several usability and functionality additions to the all-new Smart Template functionality. Read more about what's new below...

New: Code folding based on indent level

Python developers rejoice! This release includes native support for code folding in Python files based on indentation level. For other languages, you can enable indent-based code folding by adding the "EnableCFByIndent" keyword to the top of the appropriate wordfile.

Enhanced: Selectable default parameters in Smart Template variables

Smart Templates get smarter in v18.10! You can now specify a selectable list of default parameters for a Smart Template variable. Use the pipe character to separate parameters (for example: [+dog|cat|pig+]), then when inserting your template, the auto-complete list will open with each available parameter where you can select the one you want.

Enhanced: Smart Template usability improvements

Sometimes all it takes is a small tweak to make a huge difference. Smart Templates have been tweaked in several areas including the ability to sort templates in the Modify Templates dialog, the ability to resize the Modify Templates dialog, your custom color settings in the template editor, and the ability to move templates between groups.

Enhanced: Change the output window font

Setting the output window font is easier than it's ever been. Simply right-click in the output window and select "Set Output Font".
