%CURDAY% inserts the day of the month as a number between 1 and 31. Those insert the number with a leading zero if it is less than 10. Many existing placeholders for date and time parts have new counterparts with an extra Z.
This format allows a numeric sort to sort the dates correctly. %CURYMD% and %CLIPYMD% insert the current date and the clip’s date in YYYYMMDD format.
AceText follows the ISO 8601 standard which sees Monday as the first day of the week and up to the first 3 days of the week as part of the previous year if January 1st is on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. So if the clip’s date is January 1st, 2022, which was on a Saturday, then %CLIPWEEK%/%CLIPYEAR% is substituted with 52/2021. If these are followed by %CURYEAR% or %CLIPYEAR% then those represent the year that the week started in. %CURWEEK% and %CLIPWEEK% insert the number of the week of the current year and of the clip’s year. A number of built-in parameters were added. When you tick the Parameters checkbox, AceText substitutes parameters in the form of %PARAM% when it send a clip to another application. You can still turn off Automatic Capture to stop the icon from flashing. AceText now flashes the Lock icon in the notification area when this happens, reminding you to unlock the collection. This allows you to immediately replace the search term by entering a new search term.Įven when Automatic Capture is enabled, AceText cannot capture clips if the ClipHistory is locked with a password. Pressing Ctrl+F to move keyboard focus to the Search box now selects the existing search term, as it did in AceText 3. It leaves more space on the Collection toolbar on the AceText Editor for editing commands, even when the AceText editor is tucked into a corner to leave space for another application. You’ll be using those buttons while selecting clips in the clip tree anyway. But, if you use both the AceText Tower and the AceText Editor then the buttons for duplicating, moving, and deleting clips are now only available on the AceText Tower, above the clip tree. That button is now back by popular demand. We omitted the Delete Clip button to try to keep the number of buttons manageable.
The Collection toolbar has many more buttons in AceText 4 than in AceText 3. Turning the option back on again no longer positions the main menu incorrectly. It no longer hides the main menu or the Search toolbar. Turning off the “show toolbars” option now only hides the main toolbar and the collection toolbar. Use the Line Numbers item in the Options menu to toggle whether line numbers are shown at all. Turn it off to show line numbers for all lines. This way line numbers do not change when lines are broken up by Word Wrap. Turn on “ show line numbers on physical lines only” to only show a line number on a line if the previous line ended with a line break. If checked, the editor increases or decreases its font size, effectively zooming its contents. This lets you scroll rapidly through long clips. If unchecked, the editor scrolls its contents up or down by as many lines as fit in the editor’s height. The checkbox labeled “ Control+Wheel changes the font size instead of scrolling one page” lets you choose what happens when you rotate the mouse wheel while holding down the Control key with the mouse hovering over an edit control. Two options were added to the Appearance Preferences.
