Text editor SciTE RU-Board 3.55 .102
All modifications of original SciTE editor has been developed by persons from Ru-Board community.
This document described all changes and extensions from original version of editor.
All modifications in source code marked by special tags to allow apply it to original separately.
You can examine updated editor with all of his expanded characteristics by downloading the package SciTE-Ru
List of modifications split in three parts to be more sense:
Interface
In the menu "Language" the current language states labels.
Menu items for opening language properties files to put in a submenu "Edit Properties".

New property find.fillout is to define how will be filled input field in find dialog on start:
0 (default) - if a selection exists and it hasn't got line breaks then fill field with the selection otherwise fill field with a word near cursor (as it was),

save.session.multibuffers.only=1
[session.close.buffers.onload] (Author: VladVRO)
New variable in properties files session.close.buffers.onload for define should opened files be closed or not on load session.
For example to define do not close opened files:

[ReadOnlyTabMarker] (Authors: Midas, VladVRO, neo4max)
Added possibility to show Readonly status by additional symbols in tab name, which can be setup by property tabbar.readonly.marker, for example:
tabbar.readonly.marker= R/O
Added possibility of creation submenu in Tools menu.
All submenu items located on top of menu and separated by line from other.
For define submenu you should set up name first:
command.submenu.name.2.filepattern=Insert from Text
If it is part of another menu then you should setup parent's menu number:
command.submenu.parent.2.filepattern=4
And next for all subitems of this menu you should setup parent's menu number:
command.parent.6.filepattern=2
command.name.6.filepattern=Date and Time
Can insert separator between any new commands in menu Tools.
For example, command.separator.34.filepattern=1 adding separator before command 34.
Added possibility of a set check before command item of the menu.
For example: command.checked.34.filepattern=1.
All menu items text can be localized same as other menu command by file locale.properties.
Extended amount of line in Tools menu till 300.
For creation of the user commands in user.context.menu it is necessary to use the formula:
User command = 9000 + number of this command in menu Tools
You can setup each context menu now by using new parameters in .properties file:
user.context.menu.filepattern - editor context menu
user.tabcontext.menu.filepattern - tabbar context menu
user.outputcontext.menu.filepattern - output context menu
And you can create submenus there by using tags POPUPBEGIN and POPUPEND!
Format:
user.context.menu.filepattern=\
Command name1|IDM_COMMAND1|\
Command name2|IDM_COMMAND2|...
you can add separator by leaving both fields empty:
user.context.menu.filepattern=\
Command name1|IDM_COMMAND1|\
||\
Command name2|IDM_COMMAND2|...
If parameter absent or empty then context menu will standard.
You can setup toolbar now by using new parameter user.toolbar.filepattern in .properties file:
Format:
user.toolbar.filepattern=\
Hint1|IDM_COMMAND1|icon number1|\
Hint2|IDM_COMMAND2|icon number2|...
you can add separator by leaving fields empty:
user.toolbar.filepattern=\
Hint1|IDM_COMMAND1|icon number1|\
|||\
Hint2|IDM_COMMAND2|icon number2|...
If parameter absent or empty then toolbar will standard.
New property for setup user library with icons:
user.toolbar.iconlib.filepattern=$(SciteUserHome)\gnome.dll
Toolbar buttons can display status on/off now based on the current state of parameter that switched by the button.
For example state of such parameters as wrap, read.only, view.whitespace displayed now by status pressed/released of related buttons IDM_WRAP, IDM_READONLY, IDM_VIEWSPACE.

- all tabs in result replaced by spaces, start spaces removed, double spaces replaced by single.
- searched string can be highlighted by setup new style parameter in properties:
style.errorlist.30=fore:#000000 ,bold
You can switch off this feature by setup new parameter in properties:
lexer.errorlist.findliststyle=0
And now you can highlight searched string in result of external search. You can setup format of title of the external search by two new properties lexer.errorlist.findtitle.begin and lexer.errorlist.findtitle.end.
