#Scite text editor for windows 7 install#

The context menu looks like this when you right-click: I was never able to find a happy medium with the available options, so the only answer I could come up with was to make two context menu options with the choice of new tab or new window. Couple that option with the context menu and you can only ever have open in tabs or (with the option switched off), open in new window. So to open two files and sit them side-by-side or in individual screens when using multiple screens is impossible with that default option set. The bad thing about this option is that when this is switched on, you can never open SciTE in a new window.

SciTE itself has a global option of 'check.if.already.open' which enables one to always open a new file into a new tab.

The original context menu was simply 'Edit with SciTE', and while it was effective and easy it wasn't so great for us dual-screen users. As mentioned above, since releasing the installer for SciTE 2.22 I have modified the context menu from André Burgaud and Angelo Mandato for this package. Optional installation of the context menu fix.My custom modification of the context menu from André Burgaud and Angelo Mandato.Note this package is not associated with the official SciTE project, I am providing it as a convenient distribution.Īlso modified html.properties to add a custom Tidy Source option for html and xml files using html Tidy.

The shell extension installation is optional as part of the install process. The packages are split in order to support respective platform runtimes. I have tested this on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, 8 & 8.1 32bit & 64bit, and Windows 10.
