Hi guys!
Whether there is somebody who tried the new version of uVision4 based on the Scintilla editor? Such *** I yet did not see! Where illumination of labels? Where put illumination of keywords? Why memory windows and assembly do not change a font? What for a hogwash with Russian fonts why are not displayed in a memory window? Words are not present...

CodeWright or Coderight or Codewright. I now see why I so often mis-spell their name. My question. Is there a new release since Borland bought and killed Codewright?
Notepad++ has many features.

Is there a new release since Borland bought and killed Codewright?
Not to my knowledge. 7.5 seems to be the end.
I have a suspicion that someone with a BIG say at Borland is an inferior editor maker. Borland first killed Brief, then CodeWright.
Some like to hide their own lack of abilities by attacking those of others.

Not so far as I know.
Last time I asked, there was no support and no development - yet they still thought it reasonable to charge full price if you wanted a copy!
"Notepad++ has many features"
Quantity != Quality
Althought I have recently been using Notepad++ and found it pretty good.
How much time can the perfect editor save me in reality?
nothing, if you do not care.
lots if you do.
e.g. if you 'steal' some of your code to use in a modified fashion elsewhere. a REAL editor is a fantastic timesaver getting formatting etc to be right after deleting and inserting the needed modifications.
also a REAL editor, has far better search abilities than a "compiler maker provided" one which can be a timesaver during debugging.
also, if you use some manufacturer supplied code (as a base), with a REAL editor it is a breeze to change the formatting to your standard, with a "compiler maker provided" one you almost may as well retype.
the $300 or so for CodeWright are recaptured in a month or two.
Absolutely.
Having the ability to move about files quickly and efficiently with a minimum amount of keypresses can be such a major timesaver. Also, using the decent one editor in this way means you don't have to keep hitting the slight differences that inevitably exist between different IDEs.
I started with Brief (when it was owned by underware, well before Borland got their mitts on it) and have now standardised on SlickEdit. I can now even go between different platforms with that same efficiency. Really nice.
I've just found that an updated version of Brief is still available at http://www.briefeditor.com/
