#687 Umlauts in search requesters
NEdit is restricted to Latin-1 encoded text files. Ok.
I have a system with UTF-8 as system default encoding.
Thus I must start NEdit via
$ LANG=de_DE nedit
Ok.
This way I can edit text with umlauts etc.
But I cannot enter umlauts in search requesters.
I can search a string containing umlauts using CTRL+H.
I can cycle back to the searched string in the requester and it misses the umlauts.
Alternatively I can search using regular expressions and substitute 'ü' by '\xfc'. Not nice.
Any chance to be able to enter umlauts in a search&replace requester?
Is there a particular reason you do not want to switch to a version of nedit actually supporting utf-8? I do not see a fix coming for this version in any future.
Which version supports UTF-8? And does it still support Latin-1?
The fork XNEdit supports UTF-8, UTF-16 LE/BE, UTF-32 LE/BE, and all ISO-8859 encodings (not only latin-1). I use it as my default text editor in my arch linux installation.
