Mailing List Guidelines


      WinEdt Mailing List Guidelines
      ==============================

   These guidelines are sent to the WinEdt Mailing List once a month.
   Please keep them in mind when posting to the list.

   ---------------------------------------------------------------------

* What To Post

   The WinEdt Mailing List is for questions about the WinEdt editor. You
   should  not post questions concerning LaTeX, MiKTeX, BibTeX et al. to
   the mailing list. WinEdt is a shell/editor for  LaTeX  etc.  and  the
   list  is  intended  to  answer questions concerning WinEdt, not LaTeX
   etc.
   (Sometimes it might be difficult  to  decide  whether  a  problem  is
   related to WinEdt or to MiKTeX, LaTeX etc. A rule of thumb is: If you
   are having the same  problems  when  running  the  program  from  the
   command line, it is NOT related to WinEdt.)

   A lot of questions are being asked over and over  again.  Check  that
   your question isn't already answered in the WinEdt FAQ at
      <http://www.winedt.org/Doc/FAQ>
   or in the mailing list archives at
      <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WinEdt>.

   When sending a question to the mailing list, try to be specific.
   Include (at least)
     + the Build number of your WinEdt (see "Help | About WinEdt...")

I cant confirm this at least when switching modes from the status line.

It never did by default - it generated a DVI, and spawned yap.

Options -> Configuration Wizard | Options: You can choose what
you want the Insert key to do. I don't like switching Insert/
Overwrite because working on different laptops for testing
purposes I often accidentally press the Insert Key on a
keyboard that is not familiar to me (no two are the same). My
personal preference accidentally ended up in the default
settings and this will be corrected: it is just a matter of
choosing an option in the Wizard...

And of course, nothing like this is hard coded: Shortcuts can
be customized though the Menu Setup Dialog to do anything one's
heart might desire:-)

Nothing has changed here except for the layout and contents of
the default toolbar (as described in What's New). By default
TeXify calls texify.exe (without --pdf switch) and as such it
usually produces dvi file (just like before). PDFTeXify
produces pdf and by default the "universal" Compile command
(the first TeX Button in the toolbar) is also configured to

Thanks, Alex!

 > Beta version of WinEdt 5.6 is now available for testing.

One little thing I noticed: If I use my mouse's scroll wheel in the new 
Winedt console, it does not scroll the displayed output but instead 
strangely moves the text around: If scrolling the wheel upwards, the 
text is slowly shifted upwards (instead of line-by-line downwards), the 
resulting gap at the lower edge of the console being filled with white 
space.

This is Winedt 5.6 running on Windows XP (SP3) with a simple USB 
Logitech mouse using Microsoft's standard mouse driver.

If you need more information about the problem, I a glad to help.

Regards! Ferdinand

I dusted off my old Logitech USB mouse and tried to scroll in the
console. You are right, the custom scroll wheel response does not
work properly. This has now been fixed for the next version (easy
once it is reproduced).

If you disable the option "Custom Wheel Response" in the
Preferences| Shell Dialog the problem with scrolling inside the
console will go away but you will likely lose the ability to
use the wheel in the edit window. Thus this is not really a
solution but just in case it would help if you can confirm...

Best regards,

alex
