Cell Selection Mode
TheCell Selection Mode was added, and CSV editing was greatly enhanced. If theCell Selection Mode was selected after a CSV document is opened, the CSV delimiters will be hidden, and you canselect cell(s) by the mouse or keyboard like a spreadsheet program (Excel). During the Cell Selection Mode, pressing theRIGHT orLEFT key moves the cell right or left. Double-clicking on a cell, pressing the ENTER key, or selecting theEdit Cell command will allow you to edit the selected cell. Selecting theEdit Cell while selecting multiple cells will allow you to edit multiple cells simultaneously. Syntax check after a cell is edited and confirmed.
In theCell Selection Mode,TAB moves to the next cell,SHIFT + TAB moves to the previous cell. These commands as well asOpen Line Above andOpen Line Below commands insert delimiters automatically if not already exist.
The Balloon Tip on Cell Selection Button on the CSV/Sort toolbar was added by default.
Security Improvements
Previously usedSHA-1 digital signatures were replaced by newSHA-1/SHA-256 double digital signatures.
For security improvements, EmEditor no longer uses theshared section in the executable files. In addition,address space layout randomization (ASLR) was enabled.
The installer’s security was enhanced as well. For more details, please read:Mitigations for the installer’s DLL hijacking vulnerability.
