SynEdit now has annotated Scrollbars. In this screenshot you can see in the scrollbar: the position of the multiple carets (full blueish line) lines with errors (full red line) the position of the bookmarks (mini bluish marks on the left) line modification info (on the right side) alpha-blended slider This feature is on the multicaret branch. Zoom In/Out/Reset functionality has also been implemented. You can still vote on this poll to influence future development. See the technical details. See also SynEdit now supports mulit-caret, multi-selection editing - I made this - Delphi-PRAXiS [en].

Please see the blog post and watch the videos! Although the videos show PyScripter, the underlying editor control is SynEdit. Note: Development of SynEdit has moved back to pyscripter/SynEdit: SynEdit is a syntax highlighting edit control, not based on the Windows common controls. (github.com) for the reasons explained here. The multi-caret developments are in the multicaret branch, which will be merged to master after a period of testing. It is quite solid, but if you would like to try and help iron out bugs, that would be much appreciated.

Development of SynEdit at PyScripter has been moved to and merged with TurboPack SynEdit. The focus of the development is to modernize the code base and enhance the functionality (sometimes at the expense of backward compatibility). In addition to the earlier enhancements and fixes two more features have been recently added: Per-monitor DPI awareness Support for Font Ligatures (new option eoShowLigatures) Fonts like Cascadia Code and Fira Code contain ligatures relevant to programming. See this article for details. Are you using font ligatures? Do you like them? See sample. Thanks to vhanla for contributing the ligature support.

Firstly, let me say that my work on SynEdit has moved back to pyscripter/SynEdit for reasons explained here. The newest enhancement to SynEdit is accessibility support. Now, SynEdit fully supports screen readers such as Windows Narrator and NVDA. The support is much better than, for instance, in Visual Studio Code. The implementation is not based on the older Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA), but on the newer Microsoft UI Automation. Microsoft UI Automation has been around since 2005 and is available to all Windows versions, since Windows XP. In addition to making applications accessible, it can also be used by automated UI testing tools. Despite been available for almost 20 years, Delphi does not provide the relevant header translations (See RSP-41898), which complicated the implementation. I also could not find any other complete Delphi implementation of UI automation. So, the SynEdit implementation may serve as a guide to how to implement UI Automation in other controls. Further details can be found here.

Hi all, I've already used Themes, with satisfaction, on some little applications. In a big application, I haven't used the TStyleManager.Engine because too hard to re-design the entire application, but I would like to have a way to style only the scrollbars colors of a TSynEdit component. It is, in some way, possible to add ONLY the TScrollingStyleHook behavior in a program without the Style engine running? Thank you for your suggenstions!
