### Configuration Tips ###
######################
Here are a few tips for a basic “ideal” configuration of Akelpad for XYplorer:
• Setup:
1) Copy "xys.coder" in folder "AkelPad\AkelFiles\Plugs\Coder"
2) Copy your favorite font (e.g. LiberationMono-Regular.ttf / -Bold / -Italic) in "AkelPad\AkelFiles\Plugs\Fonts"
3) Run Akelpad
4) In Options | Settings… | Registry > Check "INI file" to make it portable
5) In Options | Plugins… > Check those entries:
------------------------------------
— Coder::AutoComplete
— Coder::CodeFold
— Coder::Highlight
— …
— ContextMenu::Main
— …
— Fonts::Main
— …
— LineBoard::Main
— …
— QSearch::QSearch (which I assigned to Alt+F3)
— …
— ToolBar::Main
— …
— XBrackets::Main
------------------------------------
6) Restart Akelpad
• Optional:
#) Adjust your plugin settings in Menu Plugins
#) Adjust your color theme (Toolbar: 2nd row, 5th button)
#) To add an XYS entry to the list of Syntax Themes (and/or edit the list):
— Click on the Syntax Themes button (2nd row, 4th button), which opens a dropdown menu
— CTRL+Click on "XML", which opens a "ContextMenu plugin" window
— Insert the following line below the (currently selected) XML entry:
"XY Script" Call("Coder::Settings", 1, "xys")
#) To add an XYplorer toolbar button that runs the current (saved) script directly from Akelpad:
— Copy the following line after editing your XYplorer path (change "XYPath\" to the relative path e.g. "..\XYplorer\", or absolute e.g. "C:\XYplorer\")
"XYplorer..." Exec('"%a\XYPath\XYplorer.exe" /flg=2 /script="%f"') Icon("%a\XYPath\XYplorer.exe")
— Right-Click on the toolbar, which opens a "ToolBar plugin" window
— Paste the copied line at the end of the menu
