EDTplus

EDTplus is a cool tool that adds some awesome features to the EDT mode in WinEdt. It brings dynamic highlighting and word completion right when you’re writing your macros. So, what does this mean for you? Well, it gathers all the Local Registers you've set up in your current file or even across all opened files, and makes them super easy to access!

Dynamic Highlighting Features

The best part? The list of Local Registers updates automatically when you assign a new one! You can also go to Tools | Update Dynamic Keywords anytime to refresh it.

How to Install EDTplus

If you’re wondering how to install this dynamic highlighting feature for EDT Mode, it’s pretty straightforward! Just extract the zip file into the folder %b\\Config\\EDT\\. Here, %b is where WinEdt keeps its user configuration files. For example, on many computers, it looks something like this: C:\\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\\WinEdt.

Executing the Installation Macro

Next up, you’ll need to run the macro _install_EDT.edt. You can do this by clicking on Macro | Execute Macro.... This step is super important because it gets everything set up just right.

Restart WinEdt for Changes to Take Effect

After installation, don’t forget to restart WinEdt! This step is key for all your changes to kick in. Once you're back in action, open any macro file you want. Go over to Tools | Update Dynamic Keywords, and just like that, watch as all your local registers light up with highlights!

Upgrading Made Easy

If you're already using an older version of this package, no need to worry! Just install the new one over the old version without any hassle.
