To save text in the Clip Editor, select text in Code View and right-click to add to Clip Editor, or just open Clip Editor. Then right click and select add entry. Double click on entries to edit them or right click on them to rename. |

Firstly, thanks everyone for the ongoing feedback, we have been hoping to see more comments like these to help us fine tune things.

Let us know how you get on. If that works, try the same thing but just adding a single Clip Entry. Also what Operating System/Sigil version? The entries are stored in your Sigil settings file along with all your other settings. Are other things saved like keyboard shortcuts, window positions etc? Quote:
As Serpentine said double-clicking *currently* allows you to edit an item inside the Search Editor itself. However that behaviour is in discussion - it is a work in progress Funnily enough we did briefly look at that at one point, but it fell off the priority list. It just adds a little complexity to some of those Preferences panes as they now must defer applying changes to the end. I agree 100% it should have such functionality though one day. It is on the list. Last edited by kiwidude; 09-28-2012 at 03:57 PM. |

Right click should give you a Rename option. Since we will probably make double click into an apply operation, then Ctrl+R or right-click Rename will be the only way to edit. Though we'll probably rename it to "Edit"
The layout/look of the Search/Clip Editor is still being adjusted - so you're feedback about what does/doesn't work is essential. |

For me right-click does not work. It always give me the "new entry" menu and opens only the name text field but does not open either the Find or Replace text fields.
Ctrl+R works well: it opens a text field if the cursor is on it. Though it looks less natural than plain double-click. Last edited by roger64; 09-28-2012 at 04:38 PM. |

Sorry, I meant Search editor earlier.
I guess the 2nd time I went into Clip Editor and could not find my saved regex from the Search Editor anymore. So, everything works here, thanks! |

@WS64 - thanks for feeding back so we can tick that one off. Yes their names are very similar.

I like the new Index Editor, which will come in handy for text book authors. It would be nice if the Index Editor supported pasting a list of index entries from the clipboard or importing a list of index entries from a plain text file. E.g. one word per line.

The more I use this the more astonished I am by how transformative this version is. From the big stuff (saved Reg-ex templates—dear God (and kiwidude and meme and user_none), thank you) to the little stuff (being able to apply headings and <i>/<b> formatting on the fly in CV)... I tell you, you've cut my workflow time in half. Easily.
One of the really wonderful small fixes is the ability to replace searches without resetting the cursor on every page. I do seem to have found one weird glitch to this. When I'm searching for missing apostrophes("Bob s", "you re", "They ll", etc), I use the following expression: Code:
(*UCP) (?=([stmd]|re|ve|ll)\b)(?!re-|\p{L}’) For whatever reason, it won't let me replace, neither with the "Replace" button nor the "Ctrl+]" keyboard shortcut! Not even if i reset the cursor at the beginning of the page. The only way to do it is to manually paste the apostrophe in the highlighted space... which is what i'd been doing in 5.3 anyway, so no biggie. Still, thought I'd share.

For amusement, right click on the Find text box, select Add to Searches. Then open the Search Editor. Select that entry, right click and select export. Save it somewhere and attach it to a post |

@ElMiko - Stoked to hear about reducing your workflow time - I find exactly the same, it takes me a tiny fraction of what it used to take apply the book editing changes I do (x2 for every time it used to crash ). And I bet you still haven't found half the things we put in there yet..
I can replicate your F&R issue, I will take a look into it. (BTW this sounds exactly like the comment exaltedwombat made a few pages ago, so it is nice to be able to group those two items together with a repro case now). Edit: Ok, the problem will be with trying a replace with either of lookahead or lookbehind assertions in your regex. A fix that was put in for issue 1486 is incompatible with either of these. I think we are going to have to remove that 1486 fix and find another way to do it... Last edited by kiwidude; 09-29-2012 at 08:25 AM. |

@kiwidude—sorry for missing that! I'm glad you could reproduce it, though. And believe me, I don't doubt the existence of as-yet unearthed treasures. I really need to give the user manual a thorough read... I'd already tested one book out in its entirety before discovering the Saved Reg-Ex option. Who knows how much else I've missed that's been staring me plain in the face, let alone all the easter-eggs you've all scattered throughout the program.
@meme—it's probably not necessary now, but here's the attached .ini for the RegEx in question. Last edited by ElMiko; 09-29-2012 at 08:35 AM. |
