Bugs with encoding and keyboard shortcuts

Post by athei »

1. Options / encoding for newly created files is set to: utf8 without boom.
When I create new file by right clicking in 'File explorer'->project window and choosing new file, this file encoding is ANSI, not utf8.

2. Options / Keyboard shortcuts
There are wrongly working shortcuts, for example
Special Character - CTRL+ALT+S
Copyright - CTRL+ALT+C
. These shortcuts works with CTRL and without which is wrong. In my opinion they shouldn't works without CTRL. In polish language some letters are written by Right ALT+S (ś), Right Alt+C (ć). I think they should be available by default, not by changing shortcuts in ''Keyboard shortcuts' window.

3. Suggestion.
In php files, 2xClick on variable name should highlight only name without $ sign. It's easier to change only name, without adding again $ sign.
For example: 2xclick $test highlight $test, better will be like that $test

4. Undefined error.
Sometimes icons in main drop down menu disappears, sometimes icons in CSS panel are black.

Hi, thank you for your feedback.

This is not a bug. If you save an empty file (or a file without any non-ANSI chars), the encoding will always be reverted to ANSI. You can check this for example in Notepad++ and other editors.
2. Options / Keyboard shortcuts
There are wrongly working shortcuts, for example
Special Character - CTRL+ALT+S
Copyright - CTRL+ALT+C
. These shortcuts works with CTRL and without which is wrong. In my opinion they shouldn't works without CTRL. In polish language some letters are written by Right ALT+S (ś), Right Alt+C (ć). I think they should be available by default, not by changing shortcuts in ''Keyboard shortcuts' window.
Maybe there is something special with your keyboard. This is really not the default behaviour. Default shortcut for Special Characters is CTRL+ALT+S. But ALT+S opens the Search Sub-Menu from Main Menu. Have you modified any other settings? Or do you expierence this problem right after installing WeBuilder?
3. Suggestion.
In php files, 2xClick on variable name should highlight only name without $ sign. It's easier to change only name, without adding again $ sign.
For example: 2xclick $test highlight $test, better will be like that $test
This was the way it worked before. But we changed this beahviour after many user requests. Besides other editors out there also have the same principle of selecting $ together with variable itself.
4. Undefined error.
Sometimes icons in main drop down menu disappears, sometimes icons in CSS panel are black.
We need exact steps to reproduce the problem. Or you can send the problem report that is automatically generated in WeBuilder upon exceptions. Which operational system are you using?
Kind regards,

You're right. I never noticed that. I just checked it in EditPlus and it does it without the $ added. If you click a third time then the $ is included. I would like to see this in WB, too. Maybe have a setting so users can choose how they want it to work?
