                       New Features in Boxer v12 Include...

. Auto-Complete: a fast, powerful, highly customizable system for
  completing words as you type.

 * Complete partially typed words by selecting from an optional pop-up
   list of suggestions, or by pressing a user-defined trigger key
   (Ctrl+Space, by default)
 * Suggested completion phrases are drawn from four sources:
       o User-defined phrases
       o Existing text in the current document
       o The reserved word list for the current file type
       o An external, user-editable dictionary of 37,000 English words
 * User-defined phrases can be set to trigger automatically, when a
   delimiter is typed, or only when the trigger key is pressed
 * Expansion codes can be placed in user-defined phrases that will
   expand to various date/time strings, or to file/directory strings, at
   the time of insertion
 * Auto-Complete works intelligently on both ordinary text and program
   code, due in part to user-editable delimiter lists that control how
   words/phrases are harvested from the surrounding text
 * Auto-learn mode can add new phrases to the user-defined list
  automatically
 * Extensive options provide control over how words are harvested from
   the current document, how many should appear in the pop-up list,
   where/when/whether the list should appear, and much, much more

. Power Columns: an innovative editing mode that applies all edits made
  to each line within the selection.

. Create a zero-width selection in columnar mode and start typing. The
  characters you type will be inserted into each line within the
  selected range. Hit backspace to correct a mistake: all lines are
  affected. The Delete key will delete characters to the right. Use the
  left and right arrow keys to move the insertion point to a different
  column. You can even Paste a short text string from the clipboard into
  each line.

. Bookmark Manager: manage bookmarked lines more effectively.

. Boxer's new Bookmark Manager dialog displays a list of the currently
  bookmarked lines, along with their filenames and line numbers. Double
  click or press Enter on an entry to jump immediately to that file and
  line number. Sort the display by bookmark number, filename, line
  number, or line text. Show bookmarks for all open files, or only for
  the current file. Clear any bookmark by pressing Delete. The Bookmark
  Manager can be left open while working in Boxer, so that it's
  available for reference or quick navigation.


. Undo Cursor Motion: The Undo command has a new option that allows it
  to undo passive cursor motion commands. The option is located on the
  Configure|Preferences|Editing dialog tab, in the Undo section, and its
  default setting is ON.

. Web-based User Tools: Enhancements have been made to the User Tools
  command to make it easier to define web-based resources as User Tools.
  * User Tools Macros can be placed in the Program field, making it
    possible to embed the word at the cursor--or a short text
    selection--into a URL. For example:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=$Word would search Google for the
    word at the text cursor.
  * If the selected text macro, $SelText, is used within a URL, embedded
    spaces are automatically converted to plus signs, as required for a
    web-friendly URL.
  * A new directive, $SelWord, will expand to either the current text
    selection, if present, or the word at the text cursor
  * A Description field has been added for each User Tool, which will
    appear as a menu hint when cursoring over User Tools in the main
    menu.
  * the $BoxerDir macro returns the path of Boxer's installation directory.

. Current File Tab in Bold: The filename on the active file tab will be
  displayed in boldface text. A small change (but not simple!) that has a
  surprisingly large impact on the editing experience.


. The Duplicate and Increment command works like the Duplicate Line
  command, but it will increment any values in the line as it copies. For
  example, it will change a line like this:

   width1 = MainForm->WidthArray[0];

to:

   width2 = MainForm->WidthArray[1];

. Duplicate and Increment also recognizes and increments hexadecimal
  values in various formats (0xFF, FFh or $FF) and character constants
  ('A').

. More User Tools: The number of User Tools has been doubled, from 12 to 24

. The new Repeat Last Command command can be used to execute the last
  non-cursor-motion command again. This command is handy when you need
  to issue a command several times, and the command does not have a
  shortcut key assigned to it. The default key assignment for Repeat
  Last Command is F10.


. Open Program at Cursor: File|Open|Program at Cursor can be used to
  open the program, file or folder at the text cursor, in its associated
  application. For example, if a filepath to a PDF file appears at the
  text cursor, issue this command to open the file in Acrobat Reader.

. Persistent Macro Variables: Macro variables can now persist from run
  to run, and even from edit session to edit session. A macro can also
  use the value of a variable computed and stored by another macro. Two
  new macro functions make this possible: WriteValue() and ReadValue()
  can be used to store and recall macro variables. EraseValue() can be
  used to delete a macro variable from storage.
