; Tip of the day file for Code-Genie
Welcome to Code-Genie. Hope you will enjoy using it.\n\nPlease don't switch off the 'Tip of the day' feature right now: Code-Genie has some interesting features you will never discover without it.
The built-in autocomplete feature can be reached by pressing Ctrl+Space during editing.
Code-Genie can print your source code in color. You can use this feature on BW printers too if you apply some formatting (bold,italic, underlined) in the syntax.
Code-Genie stores its configuration options in the cgenie.conf file. This is a plain text file with configuration options. Press F1 over the keyword to find out more about the command.
If you have a BW printer you should clear the 'Print in color' checkbox on the Page Setup dialog.
Ctrl+F2 creates a new bookmark or deletes an existing, while F2 jumps to the next bookmark.
Press Alt+Enter to change the current syntax-highlighting to a different one.
You can assign shortcuts to macros or code-fragments with the Shortcut configuration directive.
You can find extended mouse-wheel support in Code-Genie:\nmouseWheel = Scroll Up/Down\nShift+mouseWheel = Scroll a page Up/Down\nCtrl+mouseWheel = Scroll Left/Right\nAlt+mouseWheel = jump between opened files.
You can open a file with a right-click on its name in the text-editor.\nSo if you right-click on a 'myheader.h' in the row\n#include "myheader.h"\n you can choose Open from the drop-down menu.\n\nIt works if the file is in the current directory only.
Using Code-Fragments is an easy way of fast editing. Now you can use it for binary files as well.
Press Ctrl+M to find the opening or closing pair of a bracket, brace or even an html tag.
Ctrl+W brings up the list of the currently opened documents.
CAPS LOCK has a special feature: Select some text and press 'Caps Lock'. The characters of the selection will be inverted in case.
Syntax files are plain text files too. So you can edit them in the text editor easily. Here again you can press F1 over a keyword to find out more about that command.
You can find a color-selector on the toolbar. It has 3 sliders for setting the Red, Green and Blue components, and a fourth one for changing the luminosity of the selected color from black to white.
If you set a color in the color-selector and press Enter, that color will be inserted into the document in the format of RRGGBB.\nIf you select a similar 6-number long color-code in the document before clicking on the color-selector icon, that color will be showed in the dialog.
Ctrl+B backs up the currently edited file. It will back up the old 'filename.ext' file with filename00.ext', so the extension will be preserved, and multiple backups can exist in one directory.
You can change not only the colors of the current syntax-highlighting, but the backgroud colors as well.
The Justify command will make the selected text look justified. But this justification will be preserved after you save the document. Of course it looks good with fixed-width fonts, such as Courier, only.
Keyword lookup is available by pressing F1 over a given keyword. In this case the word will be looked up in the active help file. The active help file can be specified from the Help menu.
To indent one or more lines, first select them, then press Tab. Similarly to unindent the selected rows press Shift+Tab.
Code-Genie has a built-in macro support through the ScriptControl. This is a free product of Microsoft. You can download it from http://www.code-genie.com
You can run programs from Code-Genie using the Tools menu.\n\nSee the AddUserTool command in the Help for more info.
Code-Genie remembers the last 10 text-elements you placed onto the Clipboard. You can reach this list by selecting 'Clipboard history' on any of the Selectors.
You can print your source code as part of a Word document: Code-Genie can place the selected text onto the Clipboard in RTF format that general purpose word-processors can understand.
You can copy and export your source in HTML format, so you can publish it on the Internet with ease.
By now it is likely that a new maintenance release of the program, that fixes some bugs, is available on the site of the product: http://www.code-genie.com
This is the last tip.
