Thanks for the feedback, Joe.
Let me make sure you are using the latest EdSharp, since it increased
support for Unicode (press F11 to elevate to the latest version). If a
file contains characters with Unicode code points above 255, EdSharp
saves it as UTF-8 (with a byte order mark at the beginning). Otherwise,
EdSharp saves with the default character encoding of the computer, which
is usually Latin1. If you have an example that is not saving as you
would like, please send it to me as an attachment with an explanation of
where the character is not what you expect.
The keys to move to the start or end tag of HTML or XML are
Control+Shift+, and Control+Shift+. (think of the < and > signs around
tag names).
To paste an HTML snippet, press Control+Shift+F5 and choose HTML Tidy as
the language compiler. Then Alt+V invokes a list of snippets for that
language. You can save a snippet with Alt+S or view it without invoking
it with Alt+Shift+V.
Let me make sure you are aware of the help options built into EdSharp.
F1 opens the HTML documentation in your web browser. Alt+Shift+H opens
a list of hotkeys in an EdSharp window. Alt+F10 presents an Alternate
Menu of all commands in a standard listbox. You can press Control+J to
jump to an item based on text it contains, or Alt+J to jump to the next
match.
