Themes in v8.8.9

With the release of v8.8.9, there is a new feature which automatically updates the active Theme if it is missing Style Configurator settings for any GUI elements, or missing any Languages or any Style entries in existing Languages. This is a long-needed feature, so that as Notepad++ adds new styles for the Style Configurator, you’ll be able to set them, even if your theme hasn’t been updated since before those styles were added. (Before now, if you switched to a theme years ago and set any custom color or user keyword or custom file extensions for a built-in language, it would never update the theme, no matter how many times you update Notepad++ in the meanwhile. This v8.8.9 feature is able to correct that issue, and you will be able to use the Style Configurator to set the colors of any new styles going forward, as soon as you upgrade to a Notepad++ executable that supports the new style.)

Unfortunately, the v8.8.9 implementation included some annoying growing pains: the procedure always uses the same colors that those styles have in the stylers.model.xml file (ie, the default “light mode” colors), even if you are using a dark theme, which can make for glaring color issues: on Languages that get new styles added, the text that should be that new style can end up as black-on-white text, even if the rest of the text has a dark background; and if the theme was old enough, some GUI elements (like the Bookmark margin and Change History margin, between the line numbers and the text being edited) may clash with the surrounding GUI elements.

In the future v8.9 this issue will be fixed, so people who had an older theme and use v8.9 will see new styles show up using the default foreground and background colors of that theme, so they won’t clash: it might not highlight the new keywords, for example, but at least it won’t look worse than it used to.

But unfortunately, once you run it in v8.8.9, your theme will no longer have those entries “missing”, and the glaring white background will be saved. The instructions below will help you with that:

Instructions

These instructions are only needed if you ran Notepad++ v8.8.9. If you upgraded from something earlier to v8.9-or-later, you do not need these instructions.

Download the updated theme file(s) from the Source (see Download Source below) Depending on circumstances, decide whether you need to update the installation-directory theme, the user-config-directory theme, or both If you have a portable version of Notepad++, without using the Cloud directory or -settingsDir, then you need to just follow the instructions to Update Theme(s) in User Config Directory If you are not using a portable version of Notepad++, then it is recommended to follow Update Theme(s) in Installation Directory first, and then decide based on the next item whether to continue or not If you have any theme file(s) in the user-configuration directory (whether it’s %AppData%\Notepad++\themes\ or the Cloud directory’s .\themes subdirectory or the -settingsDir’s .\themes subdirectory, then you should follow the Update Theme(s) in User Config Directory for those.

Please note: when correctly following step 2, you may need to follow multiple sets of instructions. Please read and understand each point under step 2 to make the right changes.

Download Source

The installer themes in the source code have been updated to have all the styles needed (to be able to fix the problems from v8.8.9). You can go here to grab the theme file(s) you want: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/tree/master/PowerEditor/installer/themes.

Update Theme(s) in Installation Directory

Except when you have a portable version of Notepad++, you will generally need to follow this set of instructions for the themes that come in the installation directory. In a normal installation of Notepad++, the installation will be in c:\program files\Notepad++ directory or equivalent, and the installation-directory themes will thus be in c:\program files\Notepad++\themes. (See the Instructions section above for the decision process to know for sure whether to use this section.)

Exit Notepad++ Go to the URL mentioned in the Download Source section (above), and download the raw version of your Theme file(s) Use Explorer to go to c:\program files\Notepad++\themes\ directory Copy the downloaded Theme(s) into that directory, overwriting what’s there When you run Notepad++ next time, it will use the updated theme, and the glaring color issues should be gone.

If you have customized your theme with user-keywords or user-extensions, then this won’t be sufficient, because Notepad++ gives priority to the copy from the user-settings directory. (See the Instructions section above for the decision process to know for sure whether this section is sufficient for your needs.)

Update Theme(s) in User Config Directory

If you have your Theme file in the user-settings directory (AppData hierarchy or Cloud directory or -settingsDir directory) for any reason – whether you customized it by changing the font or color or added user-defined keywords or user-defined extensions using the Style Configurator, or whether you intentionally copied or downloaded a Theme into the user-settings directory, or whether it’s there and you don’t know how or why it got there: under any of those circumstances, then just replacing the theme in the installation directory won’t be sufficient. (See the Instructions section above for the decision process to know for sure whether to use this section.)

Exit Notepad++ If you haven’t already, go to the URL mentioned in the Download Source section (above), and download the raw version of your Theme file(s) Use Explorer to go to %AppData%\Notepad++\ (🛈) or to wherever your Cloud Directory or -settingsDir option point to There should be a themes subdiretory in that directory, if you have customized your Theme. Rename your old custom theme to <themeName>_OLD.xml (like khaki.xml becomes khaki_OLD.xml) Copy the downloaded version of the Theme into that directory (for example, khaki.xml) Start Notepad++. It will use the updated version of the theme, but your customizations will be temporarily missing. Open %AppData%\Notepad++\themes\<themeName>.xml and %AppData%\Notepad++\themes\<themeName>_OLD.xml In the _OLD copy, search for ext="(?!") in Regular Expression mode. The value between the quotes will be the user-extensions for that language. Copy any that you find in the OLD file to the language’s equivalent entry in <themeName>.xml In the _OLD copy, search for (?<!>)</WordsStyle> in Regular Expression mode. Any values between the > and the </WordsStyle> should be copied to the equivalent location in the <themeName>.xml file. If <themeName>.xml just has <WordsStyle name="..." ... /> without having a </WordsStyle> closer, you can replace the /> with a > and the list of keywords, then the closing </WordsStyle> Save <themeName>.xml Exit Notepad++ When you run Notepad++ again, it should now include your customizations again. Native Feature compared to ConfigUpdater plugin

The ConfigUpdater plugin was introduced as a testbed for some of the ideas that made it into the v8.8.9 native implementation. As such, if you are in v8.8.9 or newer, you no longer need the ConfigUpdater plugin. But if you are before v8.8.9, and waiting for the v8.9 fix to the Notepad++ feature before upgrading, then using ConfigUpdater while in v8.8.8-or-older will help you get to a point where if you did change your mind and upgrade to v8.8.9, it wouldn’t make the glaring UI clash and black-on-white text in dark themes.

JavaScript in v8.9 Themes

In v8.8.8 and earlier, Notepad++ would magically use the embedded javascript (JS-in-HTML) styler settings if the javascript.js (*.js) language didn’t have defined styles in a given theme, making it appear to JavaScript users that their theme had the standalone JavaScript colors defined. The v8.9 fix, which filled in default FG/BG colors for all javascript.js styles for themes that were missing javascript.js made it appear to the JavaScript users that v8.9 broke their theme, when it really meant that their already-broken theme was just being “fixed” in a different way. Updated themes are being submitted to the Notepad++ codebase, so that javascript.js will use similar colors to embedded javascript, so they won’t get the surprise color change if they upgrade from v8.8.8-or-older to v8.9.1-or-newer.

If you already updaded to v8.9, and JavaScript *.js files look like they have stopped syntax highlighting then you will need to follow instructions similar to the Update Theme(s) in Installation Directory and/or Update Theme(s) in User Config Directory

The PR has been merged, so you can just use https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/tree/master/PowerEditor/installer/themes as the source for the updated themes (the same link as mentioned above) You can just copy the entire <LexerType name="javascript.js" desc="JavaScript" ext="">...</LexerType> section from the downloaded theme(s) and paste it overtop that same section in your Config Directory and/or Installation Directory theme file(s), then save and restart to get it to take effect.

@MHindujaDheerajSudan said in Meenu Hinduja Dheeraj Sudan - Best Plugins for Improving Productivity in Notepad++:

code formatting,

Depends on what language your code is in. For example, for formatting XML, I recommend XMLTools; for formatting JSON, I recomment JsonTools.

For most programming languges, there are standard executable-based formatters that are considered “best practice” for that language. Instead of having a dedicated plugin for each language you write in, my recommendation is to use a plugin to route the files through that external formatter.

The “Pork to Sausage” (P2S) plugin is actually good for that: you can define “transformations”, where it passes the content of the file thru an executable, and replaces the contents with the output of that executable (unfortunately, you have to do a Ctrl+A to select the whole text first, before running hte P2S. this post my @Michael-Vincent, and the follow-on a couple posts down, give an example script for the NppExec plugin that routes various filetypes to their appropriate formatter/pretty-printer executables.

Also, our compile/convert FAQ shows examples of how to do that sort of thing with both P2S or using NppExec to drive it – both are common solutions among the power-users here.

comparison tools

ComparePlus plugin. Hands down. No reason to consider anything else. It’s awesome.

session management.

The only session management plugin I can think of is Session Manager. I don’t use it, but I seem to remember people like it.

Which plugins do you personally rely on, and are there any compatibility concerns with recent versions?

Rely On: NppExec and ComparePlus are in my standard workflow for code development. And I use PythonScript for scripting tasks inside Notepad++ (like macros, but on steroids, because it has the full power of Python behind it), but that doesn’t fall within the types of tasks you were look for plugins for.

Compatibility: Pork2Sausage, NppExec, and ComparePlus are all actively maintained, and definitely don’t have any compatibility issues. I don’t know how Session Manager is doing for maintenance.

Hello, @peterjones,

First, read this post to @coises, where I discuss the Unicode concept of identifiers, particularly in Perl !

Thus, as explained at the end of that post, I created a second version of my perl.xml file parser which should work correctly without significant delay !

In short :

I do NOT use any atomic structure !

In mainExpr of the class range, I do NOT use a named group but, simply, use the part ^ (?: package | class ) \b, twice !

I changed your prototype / signature syntax (?:$[^()]*+$\s*+)?+ to (?: $ [\x20-\x7E\w]* $ \s* )?

I changed your attributes syntax (?:\:[^{]+)?+ to (?: : [\x20-\x7A\x7C-\x7E\w]+ \s* )?

In the two syntaxes above, I simply added \w within each character class

Note that, from this article https://www.effectiveperlprogramming.com/2015/04/use-v5-20-subroutine-signatures/, the following syntax seems possible :

sub animals ( $cat, $auto_id = get_id() ) { say "$auto_id: The cat is $cat"; }

Thus, for prototype / signature syntax, I’ve allowed parentheses within the outer parentheses. If this example seems not pertinent, use the alternate syntax :

(?: $ [\x20-\x27\x2A\x7E\w]* $ \s* )?

Finally, I changed the regex class name (?x)\s\K[^;{]+ to (?x) \s+ \K .+? (?= \x20* [;{] )

BTW, my parser presently contains 13 strings \s. May be, the \h or even the [\t\x20] syntax should be more appropriate, in some parts ?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>  <NotepadPlus> <functionList>   <parser displayName="Perl" id="perl_syntax" commentExpr="(?x) # 'Free-spacing' mode (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) (?m-s: # 'Multi-lines' mode ( ^ and $ match at line-breaks ) / 'Dot' char does NOT match line-breaks \x23 .* # Single Line Comment ( #................ ) ) # | # OR (?s: # 'Single line' mode (letter s optional as mode set by DEFAULT) __ (?: END | DATA ) __ # String '__END__' or '__DATA__' .* # ANY character(s), including line-breaks, till... \Z # Last line-break, included ) " > <classRange mainExpr="(?x) # 'Free-spacing' mode (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) (?m-i) # 'Multi-lines' mode (^ and $ match at line-breaks) / 'Sensitive case' mode ^ # NO leading white-space at start of line (?: package | class ) \b # Header : word 'package' or 'clas', in LOWER case (?s: # 'Single line' mode (letter s optional as mode set by DEFAULT) .+? # ANY character(s), including line-breaks, till... ) # Section below, excluded (?= # Start of look-ahead \s* # Optional leading white-space of ^ # NO leading white-space at start of line (?: package | class ) \b # Next header : word 'package' or 'clas', in LOWER case | # OR \Z # last line-break ) # End of look-ahead " > <className> <nameExpr expr="(?x) # 'Free-spacing' mode (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) \s+ # Leading white-space(s) \K # Discard text matched so far .+? # ANY character(s) till...

In the https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/a91b22bd8337465e04c1afa30cb71f7909340293/PowerEditor/Test/FunctionList/perl/unitTest file, I added text at various locations :

Before the line ############### Start ############### ################ Added by guy038 to test Notepad++'s FunctionList sub animals ( $cat, $autoid = get_id() ) { say "$auto_id: the cat is $cat"; } sub _function_été { return 1 } Before the line package NameSpace::Block { ################ Added by guy038 to test Notepad++'s FunctionList sub grâce::Hôte { return 'running' } sub grâce::Son_ø { return 'stopped' } ################################################################# At the very end of file : ################ Added by guy038 to test Notepad++'s FunctionList class NewClassSyntax { method inBlock { return 1 } method inBlockProto($) { return $_[0] } method inBlockAttrib :prototype($) { return $_[0] } } class Chaîne{ method inBlock { return 1 } method Dûment($) { return $_[0] } method ƒ_Hameçon :prototype($) { return $_[0] } } #################################################################

In terms of speed, the Function List panel seems quickly displayed. I also did a test copying UniTest.txt twice, and then adding, by regex, _1, _2 and _3 at end of the different names, the Function List panel still appeared without delay !

Best Regards,

guy038

Hello, @coises, @thomas-knoefel, @peterjones and All,

@coises, many thanks for your additional info. But, please, don’t be too upset by these regex oddities ! Of course, some class definitions seems different but, in all cases, Columns++ gives more accurate results than native N++ search, anyway !

In fact, I did all these researches on the Unicode world as I wanted to clarify the status about identifiers, particularly with Perl, in order to find out a simplified formulation for the Function List Perl parser created by @peterjones and improved with your help, by using atomic structures !

My first attempt was clearly insufficient because I only took ASCII characters into account. Peter adviced me to refer to the article, below :

https://perldoc.perl.org/perldata#Identifier-parsing

which explains that, when using UTF-8, the Perl identifier syntax should be :

/ (?[ ( \p{Word} & \p{XID_Start} ) + [_] ]) (?[ ( \p{Word} & \p{XID_Continue} ) ]) * /x or in a SINGLE line (?[ ( \p{Word} & \p{XID_Start} ) + [_] ])(?[ ( \p{Word} & \p{XID_Continue} ) ]) *

Although the properties \p{XID_Start} and \p{XID_Continue} are NOT part of the General Category list and are not functional with the Boost regex engine, this Perl syntax could be expressed, in theory, with our Boost regex engine as :

(?:(?=\p{XID_Start})\w|_)(?=\p{XID_Continue})\w*

Now, with the v17.0 release of BabelMap software, I was able to get the complete and exact list of these properties : \p{WORD}, \p{ID_Start}, \p{ID_Continue}, \p{XID_Start}, \p{XID_Continue},

Then, from these lists, I could deduce the Unicode characters count of the regexes (?:(?=\p{XID_Start})\w|_) and (?=\p{XID_Continue})\w. Refer below :

However, the last two results (?:(?=\p{XID_Start})\w|_) and (?=\p{XID_Continue})\w, above, are true ONLY IF the regex engine would respect all Unicode properties. Unfortunately, from a Boost point of view, which :

Only considers that word characters are all in the BMP

Generally considers that word characters are those defined prior to the Unicode 5.3 release !

I verified that, presently, only 47,681 characters can begin an PERL identifier and only 48,011 characters can continue a PERL identifier !

So, @Peterjones, in all cases, the regex rules, used in Function List for Perl, are a rough approximation of what they should be !

Now, Peter, the goal is to get a Perl parser using the approximative BOOST \w definition, without the help of atomic structures.

@harmansinghdeepkandhari:

When you install through Plugins Admin, Notepad++ verifies that the hash of the downloaded zip file containing the plugin matches the hash that was supplied when the plugin was added to or updated in the plugins list.

That is all that is done. Aside from the three plugins included with Notepad++ (MIME Tools, Converter and NppExport), the author/maintainer of Notepad++ does not vet plugins.

Realistically, he could not do that comprehensively. And — in my opinion, wisely — he does not make a halfway, superficial attempt (like running them through a “virus checker”) which would only give a false sense of security and open up the project to claims that it didn’t do “enough.”

Further, it should be understood that plugins in Notepad++ are fully capable of doing anything Notepad++ itself can do. They are C++ programs (or the equivalent) running in the same security context as Notepad++. The architecture is very flexible, but it presumes one only installs plugins worthy of trust.

The user (or system administrator, in a managed system) is completely responsible for establishing the suitability of Notepad++ plugins (just as the same responsibility applies regarding Notepad++ itself). Nearly all are open source; you can examine the code, the issues, and so on. You cannot assume that inclusion in the plugins list means any plugin is “safe”; your own due diligence is required.

@Uwo222777 said in Localization problem:

I use my own version of localization (but not the one that comes “bundled” with the Notepad++ release).
…
But, after restarting Notepad++, two languages are consistently present in the search window. And this effect is repeated very steadily.

Not for me. It probably has something to do with your custom localization. Are you sure that your localization has all the fields that the most recent official localizations do? Because if any of those are missing, then it will default to the English terms for those fields. (The Find in Projects entries are in another location of the file, not in the <ProjectManager> section, so I’d look for those values, to make sure your localization has those defined.)

@Mister-Smitt ,

As you are just here to whine and complain and curse, I will move this “topic” to “Boycott Notepad++”, where such belongs.

And then, since I have that Category set so that I never see new posts there, I can hopefully just ignore anything else you post.

Good luck with your whining, ad hominem attacks, and anti-social behavior. <sarcasm> It will serve you well in life. </sarcasm>

Talking about “the game of the summer,” it’s always interesting to see how different communities interpret “fun” — for some that’s about building an in‑game world, for others it’s just kicking back and enjoying downtime.
