New: Brace matching functionality
Jump to a matching brace without creating an unwanted selection! To see this functionality in action, open up a source file and use the new "Go to Matching Brace" command in the Search menu. You can also assign a key mapping for the new command in Advanced -> Configuration -> Key Mapping (SearchGotoBrace).
Note: The new "Go to Brace" command requires that the text insertion caret be positioned next to a brace in the file, unlike the "Select to Matching Brace" command.
Enhanced: Easier "Spell As You Type" functionality
Want to quickly disable the Spell As You Type feature for a particular file without accessing configuration? No problem; click the new toolbar button to toggle the Spell As You Type feature in virtually no time at all! Also, we've provided a new "SpellAsYouType" key mapping command so you can use a keyboard shortcut to toggle the feature as well.
Enhanced: Cleaner FTP functionality
We've added several usability improvements to working with FTP in v11.20. You can now clear out your FTP path histories on a per-account basis with the new "Clear history" item at the bottom of the path history drop down. Not only that, but v11.20 includes improved functionality for "Download from server" and "Download with sync" with FTP-linked project folders, as well as better directory history handling between multiple concurrent instances.
Enhanced: Project functionality, including improved relative path support
Projects are now more versatile than ever with improved relative folder and file path handling! Move your project from directory to directory or from system to system without needing to change any hard-coded paths or settings. Additionally, the menu items and commands used to add folders and virtual groups to projects are now separate commands, making folder and group management easier.
Enhanced: List Lines Containing String dialog
It's easy to see how many lines in your file contain the find string with the new line count feature in the "List Lines Containing String" dialog!
New: Scripting functionality
UEStudio v11.20 includes significant additions and advancements to scripting. The following new scripting methods are now available in v11.20:
// Goes to specified position (passed as parameter) in number of chars from beginning of file UltraEdit.activeDocument.gotoPos();
// Selects to specified position (passed as parameter) in number of chars from beginning of file UltraEdit.activeDocument.gotoPosSelect();

New: Completely re-engineered explorer window in File View
You're going to love v11.20's new explorer window! Access and open files from network shares with the new network item. Decrease time spent browsing folders and files with the optional new split explorer — which not only works for your local and remote files, but FTP files as well! A new Open Files dialog is also now available, giving you the ability to filter, sort, and open files in a particular folder.
You can access your FTP accounts in the split explorer view as well. Use the same method to connect - just expand the FTP account and the directory listing is shown in the top and bottom windows. Exploring your remote files has never been easier!
The new Open Files dialog can be accessed by right-clicking a folder in the explorer window and selecting the "Open Files..." option. This opens a dialog with a list of all files in the specified folder which you can filter, sort, and open.
Improved: More drag-and-drop functionality
In addition to the new File View features described above, drag-and-drop functionality has been greatly improved between the File View and the editor. Specifically, you can now drag and drop file tabs to add files to Favorites lists or the active project. Also, you can drag and drop files from Explorer or your Favorites lists directly into the editor to open them
.
New: XML/HTML open and close tag matching
A powerful new feature in v11.20 is the XML and HTML open/close tag highlighting feature. Check your nested XML and HTML quickly by moving the caret inside of the tag (like with brace matching), and UEStudio will automatically highlight the corresponding tag in the active file.
New: File status icons in file tabs
Lost track of which file is the one opened from your FTP server and which one is your local copy? Not a problem with v11.20's new file status icons in file tabs! The new file status icons include indicators for:
- New files
- Saved/unsaved files
- Remote (FTP) files
- Read-only files
New: Highlight all occurrences of selected word
Want to quickly highlight all occurrences of a word or variable in your file? UEStudio v11.20 makes this possible via three different ways:
1. Hold Shift and double-click a word
2. Press Ctrl + . (highlights all occurrences of word under caret)
3. Press the new "Highlight All Selected" toolbar icon (highlights all occurrences of word under caret)
Simply press Ctrl + . or use the "Highlight All Selected" toolbar icon to disable persistent highlighting.
New: XML Manager additions
UEStudio v11.20 delivers several large improvements to the XML Manager, most notably the new Attributes pane which provides an organized grid-style view of XML node attributes and includes the ability to quickly and easily edit them. The XML Manager is better than ever now with several usability improvements, including the ability to expand nodes in the XML Manager and active file at the same time, and a new "Format Document" context menu item to reformat and re-parse your XML file.
New: Updated Save and Open dialogs
Access your favorite system places with the new Open and Save dialogs, designed to take advantage of the Vista/Windows 7 favorites and libraries features.
New: Re-themed, redesigned icons
UEStudio v11.20 boasts a new icon set with higher-quality custom designed icons based on the .png format, providing smoother transitions between icon and background and better anti-aliasing.
