What's New in Version 14.0

Introducing 010 Editor v14 with a new caret which is easier to see. The caret is now a flashing vertical line in insert mode and an underscore in overwrite mode. The size and shape of the caret can be adjusted in the Editor Options dialog and block carets can be used as well.

The Template Results has a new style and the Type information has been moved to a separate column. Right-click on the header of the Template Results to adjust the Column Display Format. Shortcut key support has also been improved.

Styles can now be applied to template variables using the syntax <style=???> after a variable. Styles provide a more consistent way to apply colors to variables that work better on different themes. Use the Theme/Colors Options dialog to modify the built-in style colors.

Placing the mouse cursor over the hex editor now shows an outline around the struct the mouse is over. This is called struct outlining and can be turned off with the Hex Editor Options dialog.

A custom application scale factor can now be set in the General Options dialog. Scaling can be adjusted per monitor.

Auto-indent is supported in the text editor. Turn off auto-indent using View > Code Intelligence > Auto-Indent.
