texstudio | fully featured LaTeX editor | Editor library

I need to find a string, a dash -, between other characters of the alphabet [A-Za-z]:

1. if there are more than 5 other characters on the right OR (inclusive OR) the left side of the -
2. AND if there are at least 2 other characters on both sides.

I need to use this regex in TexStudio, but I don't which regex implementation is used.

What I've tried so far:

I am trying to create a codebook-style environment in an Rmarkdown document, as shown below:

I'm using TeXstudio to edit my *.tex files. Is there any way to add vim shortcuts to TeXstudio?

The website of Texstudio advertises block selection or multiple cursor functionality, but I could not figure out which key combination to use for this feature reading their horribly cryptic user-manual.

I am familiar with how text selection with multiple cursors works in Sublime Text, for instance. Those key combinations don't work here.

Would someone be kind enough to please tell me how to do this in Texstudio? Thanks.

I would like to use the owl color theme (https://github.com/rchurchley/beamercolortheme-owl) in my LaTeX beamer presentation. I am new to both LaTeX and beamer and have a new Miktex installation. I am on Windows 7.

I am trying to follow the instructions here: https://github.com/rchurchley/beamercolortheme-owl/blob/master/README.md

When I try to compile beamercolorthemeowl.ins in TexStudio, I get an error: Could not start Default Complier:PdfLaTeX: pdflatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode "beamercolorthemeowl".tex.

I can compile other files in TexStudio. That is my beamer presentation compiles with the default theme.

When I try to compile beamercolorthemeowl.ins in TeXworks, I get a message in the 'Console output' that says:

)

Generating file(s) ./beamercolorthemeowl.sty ! Cannot find file beamercolorthemeowl.dtx. \readsource ...ot find file \uptospace #1 \qStop } \else \processedLines \z@ ... l.41 } ?

and the program is just busy for ages and ages and nothing happens.

The file beamercolorthemeowl.dtx is sitting in the same directory as beamercolorthemeowl.ins, so I don't understand why it cannot find it.

Any suggestions on what to do next?

I have a few macros in TexStudio that work more or less as expected except for one that gives me some problems. I have it setup such that when I press mm it inserts inline math $|$ and places the cursor beterrn the $ signs. All is well unless I need to write a word like communications because as I write it I get co$unications$. This is because the macro triggers and I have no idea how to make it to only trigger if the cursor is next to a space character because I don't know many words in the English language that start with mm.

So the question is: how to I trigger the macro only if the cursor is next to a character?

Cheers

The most part of the LaTEX IDE (I use texStudio) allow to use !TEX codes to change the behavior of the compilation. E.g.:

TexStudio autogenerates .cwl File for every used package. These Files are used for autocompletion, but they seem to be broken.

The autogenerated Files contain commands like the following:

I have data that looks like this, df1:
