I am new to Dreamweaver (and Mac). I am used to using notepad++. I am in the habit of highlighting a term, and having identical terms highlighted everywhere in the current document. Can this be done with Dreamweaver? If it is not possible to do this with Dreamweaver, then what code editor will do this on a Mac?
Try http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/.
Or maybe try using eclipse, it might be a bit of overkill, but then again I have no idea what are doing in the dreamweaver.

In the red range, the font is different from the system font. The system font is Microsoft YaHei UI, but these parts of the font is SimSun.
Is there a way to change these parts of the font?
Or is there a way to beautify the VBA editor? VBA editor is not pretty.
Check out [Tools] -> [Options] -> [Editor Format] - in there you can set the fonts used for various elements of the VBE.
I have an alternative solution.
VBA editor is ugly and doesn't have good intellisense. In addition, VBA is not fast.
These are reasons to prompt me to use Python+xlwings.
When I can use Python, beautiful editor UI and good intellisense I can get easily.
The most important, Excel operations will be faster.(numpy, pandas, etc can be used)
I am using xlwings to make Python operating Excel.
From the pictures, do the same operation to Excel, Python+xlwings only need 4s, but VBA needs 31s.
So if someone can use a little Python, I recommend using Python+xlwings to operate excel.
The VBA editor UI is based on Windows system fonts. You need to edit the windows registry keys to make the required changes, see How to change the default font in Windows® 8.1
I wanted to make Intellij IDEA on windows look like the one on OS X Because in
my opinion it looks much better, so I installed MacType, I was able to get the
editor font render correctly, but when I change the UI font to match OS X's UI
font, The text gets cut off in some places. The font I am trying to use is
Lucida Grande size 15. You can see it for yourself in the picture
below:
Intellij UI Text getting cut: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4jnda.png
But if I remove disable MacType rendering, everything works fine, but it looks bad.
Intellij UI Text without MacType rendering: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AJEUl.png
I've tried changing MacType's settings, but nothing works!
I am on Windows 10 Creators Update with Intellij IDEA 2017.2
Any help would be appreciated.
I found the answer myself! Apparently if you open the mactype profile you are using with notepad, and paste the following text at the end of the file:
[Experimental#idea64.exe]
ClipBoxFix=1
Then all the fonts will render correctly. Note, this does not only work for Intellij IDEA, but also all other java applications and a few others. To achieve this, all you have to do is replace "idea64.exe" with the name of the app executable. An example is for the 32-bit version of Intellij, you would replace "idea64.exe" with "idea.exe".

Is there a text editor that will let me shade certain code blocks with specific colors so I can easily find them later? Bookmarks are great, but I also wanted to shade with the same color all code blocks which are somehow related to each other.
and
When my current text editors autocreate curly braces or parentheses for me and I type what I want in between them, are there any that let me either jump to the end of the line to put a semicolon there, or "return" to type the next line, or do I always have to use the arrow key to get out of the curly braces? Perhaps there is a shortcut I'm missing?
I think about every code editor, including Notepad++, has bookmarks. If you're looking for a more complete IDE, it probably depends on the language you're using. For .NET languages that is Visual Studio, but you probably would have known that. For PHP, Javascript and HTML/CSS, you can use Netbeans for PHP. Netbeans is also available for Java. It is a rich editor, and I think one of the best free general purpose IDE's available.
Marking pieces of code in colors is unknown to me. I've never seen an editor that supports this. You would also need a project in which to store the start and end points of these blocks, unless you would save them as comments or so in the file itself.
Visual Studio knows regions which you can define by a start tag and an end tag. You can collapse and unfold an entire region at once, making it quite easy to navigate through larger files.
But these regions are actually part of the code file, so you cannot use this for any file, because those region markers will probably make the file invalid.
I'm still wondering why any other shortcut key would be easier or more convenient than 'arrow down'..
For some time now, when i hit cmd-/ (mac) in .php files it prints the comments for html,
and not for php.
so it does instead of //
the format is set to PHP, and it shows 'php' on the bottom right of the editor,
also all the syntax highlighting is fine.
any idea?
thanks :)

Sublime is decent, I prefer notepad++ and brackets for development. For your issue, uninstall than install Sublime in default, see if it works. If it does work, and you have custom plugins for it, add one at a time and test. To see what is causing the problem. If nothing is causing the problem and you have everything set to how you had it prior. I am guessing that some form of data corruption occured or the shortcut for a comment in php is mixed up with the comment in html. The text editor shouldn't be treating a completely different language as another. I hope this helped.
What commenting is done is based on the scoping rules. I'm not a PHP programmer so I might get some of the details wrong, but you should get the general idea. If I understand correctly, PHP files consist of a mix of HTML elements and PHP code blocks. ST allows for languages to be "embedded" within another file type (in this case, embedding HTML in the PHP syntax). If the cursor is in an html region, it will use HTML commenting. If it is a PHP region, it will use PHP commenting. I know there are some issues with edge cases, but try moving the cursor into the actual PHP code block, then using the comment command. You could probably find a modified language file that will just treat everything as PHP if you want.
To check the scopes begin applied, you can use the ScopeHunter plugin. Alternatively, you can use the ctrl+alt+shift+p in windows and linux or cmd+alt+p in osx to display the scope in the status bar.
I hope that helps clarify how commenting works. How you choose to actually "solve" this is up to you though, as it's more of a personal preference thing.
How do you copy VBA code into a Word document and retain the VBA editor color scheme?
You can use Notepad++ to accomplish this in three ways. Just so you know, Notepad++ is a more advanced version of Notepad, which supports syntax highlighting of different code files "out of the box" - Visual Basic included!
Download & install it, fire it up, and load up your VBA code. You should automatically see it beautifully coloured (if not, because the file extension is something other than .vb, go to Language -> VB or Language -> V -> VB).
If you need to change any of the colours, you can easily do so - just go to Settings -> Styler Configurator. From that menu, you can change the various highlighting and font options, to suit your needs - although the default usually suffices for most.
Then, go to Plugins -> NppExport. From there, you have three options you can consider:
Directly print from Notepad++
Copy all formats to clipboard
Export to RTF
Export to HTML
The first is self explanatory. The second one - "Copy all formats to clipboard" - will copy the entire file with the highlighted syntax to the clipboard. Once you click it, then open Microsoft Word or your other favourite document editor, and just hit paste! You should see the beautifully syntax-highlighted code. If something goes wrong, then you can try one of the other options (export to RTF/HTML), although I've never had a problem with the clipboard method.
There are two programs on cnet downloads, which are free to try. In case you did not try them, here are the links:
VB-VBA Code Formatter & Printer 2.2
VBAcodePrint 6.13.110
Smart Indenter could be what you're looking for? You'd load the result into Notepad++, set language to VB and save as .rtf/.doc (or print to file, can't remember off the top of my head).
For a more modern approach, Sublime Text users can install ExportHTML from Package Control. This has the added benefit of being able to include the line numbers, and changing the code coloration.
HTML files can be opened directly within Word.
Highlight supports a wide range of Operating Systems and 150+ languages including Visual Basic, although I'm not sure about VBA.
I would recommend this one: planetB
It works well with Internet Explorer (didn't work wit Firefox for me, not sure abt Chrome).
Plus it's online, so no need to install anything (the case of Company/University PC's)

The following works with Visual Studio Code:
Start VS Code.
New file.
Copy & Paste the VBA code into the VS Code window.
In the lower right-hand corner, click on "Plain Text" and select "Visual Basic" instead. Note that the code is now syntax-highlighted.
Copy & Paste the formatted code into Word.
