Directory fails on 64 bit windows; and 4k displays about efte HOT 8 OPEN

Screen shot - 6x8 font, 597 characters.

Thank you for reporting these problems. I'll have a look at the HANDLE issue as soon as possible.

the fix for width was pretty easy; but there's issues still with opening files..
I would expect the configuration for EFTE to be relative to the efte.exe exeutable itself, so a good path to add to check would be GetModuleName( NULL, buf, bufSize ); which is the full path to the exeutable, and chop the last slash...

it also doesn't do a good job of outputting unicode characters. It outputs '?'
I don't know if it's a limitation in the console font maybe?

This is a sample of some code..

# in EFTE (shouldn't be showing utf8-character parts
	if ( ( typeof (maker_key) !== "string" ) && ( "Λ" in maker_key ) ) real_key = keyTracker.keys.get(maker_key.Λ)

# in another console editor (correct)
        if ( ( typeof (maker_key) !== "string" ) && ( "Λ" in maker_key ) ) real_key = keyTracker.keys.get(maker_key.Λ);

eFTE doesn't unfortunately support Unicode. Would be nice if it did, but it's a huge task to make the code Unicode-aware.

I haven't fully looked, but efte and utf-8 on linux through slang works pretty good as a model....

Hmm. I looked more. Yes, I understand, no unicode. And in implementing unicode, I'd want to implement it with like UCS-32 internally; but that doesn't even account for clusters and stuff...

I also thought tab-completion worked in the directory screen? (does on my older fte build)
maybe I have a keymap wrong...

I have a dirty branch that has the fix for handle - that works when NT is not defined.
Forked the h_c.cpp to h_js.cpp to start a js syntax highlighter.... originally I just added the config, but back-tick strings

const string = `format ${"something"}` 

So then I can strip out some c-centric things and improve object highlighting (maybe)

I say my branch is 'dirty' because I've included Wordstar keyboard, but mangled it - I should just copy that to a myfte.config thing...
