EDTplus

EDTplus is a handy package that brings some cool features to your EDT mode in WinEdt. It adds dynamic highlighting and word completion, making it way easier to write your macros. How does it work? Well, it gathers all your user-defined Local Registers from the current file or even all the opened files or the tree. This means you can quickly see and use them for word completion!

Easy Updates for Your Local Registers

The best part? The list of Local Registers updates automatically whenever you assign a new one! If you want to refresh things manually, just head over to Tools | Update Dynamic Keywords. It’s super simple!

Installing Dynamic Highlighting Made Simple

If you're ready to install dynamic highlighting for EDT Mode, here's what you need to do: first, extract the zip file into this folder: %b\\Config\\EDT\\. Just so you know, %b is WinEdt's user configuration directory. An example would be: C:\\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\\WinEdt.

Executing the Installation Macro

Next up, you'll need to run the macro called _install_EDT.edt. You can find it under Macro | Execute Macro.... After running that, don’t forget to restart WinEdt! This step is key for all those changes to take effect.

Highlighting Local Registers

Once you've restarted WinEdt, feel free to open any macro file you like. Then just go back to Tools | Update Dynamic Keywords, and watch as all your local registers get highlighted! It's pretty neat! And if you're upgrading from an old version of this package, no worries—you can simply install the new one right over it.
