files. Most any language can easily be added.
Easy to use key reassignments.
You can now reassign command hotkeys from an interactive dialog
in WinEdit. Menus are automatically updated to reflect the new
hotkeys. You can also define more than one hotkey for a command,
such as <Ctrl+Y> and <keypad -> to delete a line.
Improved compiler support
Choosing a compiler from the Project dialog's dropdown combo box
automatically configures WinEdit's error parsing logic for that
compiler. Supports Microsoft, Zortech, Watcom, Borland C++, Turbo
Pascal, Borland TASM, and Clipper. User-configurable for any other
compiler.
Improved macro recording
In the Pro version, the Macro Recorder now records all commands as
WIL scripts. When recording is concluded, the recorded script is
loaded into a document window for easy editing. Pre-configured
to automatically add the newly recorded script to the Macro Menu,
or fine tune your macro with any of over 400 WIL and WinEdit macro
functions.
Other new features:
Backup file creation, location, and name are configurable.
Changed (unsaved) files indicated on screen.
Improved support for read only files.
Improved network support.
Captured compiler output file location configurable.

We have also corrected dozens of minor bugs that have been reported in
earlier versions of WinEdit.
