    I have no issue with v8.8.2

    But with v8.8.3 (all RC), installed the cert. (checked in Local Machine & Current User), i have the issue (newly program detected) by Trend Apex One (my company).

    Thanks for your support, Notepad++ is my favorite editor. I’m currenty using portable edition.

    Update

    As of Notepad++ v8.7.6 in January 2025, the Shortcut Mapper should now list the keys based on the keyboard layout that was active when you started Notepad++. You should no longer need this FAQ, unless you are choosing to use an older version of Notepad++.

    @Lycan-Thrope said in Config Files Need Updating, Too:

    became enabled only after selecting and double clicking the error

    I should probably add a single-click handler to enable that button, too. (Without any selection, it wouldn’t know where in the file to go to, so I will probably leave it disabled with no selection)

    @dr-ramaanand said in What makes notepad++ capable of making an html ???:

    @rdipardo Please let us know how to use that.

    Be more specific.

    All of the above-mentioned plugins have documentation in the usual places (like a README file). In addition, HTML Tag has a wiki with illustrations; WebEdit has its own website.

    I would also forget about jn-npp-emmet: the jN plugin already includes Emmet-like features, no extensions necessary. Just install jN, type an abbreviation using Emmet syntax, then press Ctrl+E (or your custom key mapping for the Zen Coding > Expand Abbreviation command):

    @Coises said in POLL / Discussion: taking over a plugin:

    Just my personal opinion, but as I wrote in my other comment, I feel we should default to requiring new names; the “burden of proof” is on the new plugin and its author that it really is an appropriate replacement if they want to use the old name.

    A new plugin name is not ideal if you’re aiming for wide distribution, such as when the new version addresses a breaking change upstream. The Plugins Admin dialog will only suggest an update if the names are the same between the old and newer versions.

    The unfortunate case of Elastic Tabstops is probably too rare to inform a guiding principle. I had early doubts about the new version, but only something like formal acceptance criteria would have found the defects before unsuspecting users did. In one respect, transferring the name with ownership made finding the defects more likely.

    patching older vulnerable versions

    It could be fun, now without the public CA cert available…

    @王阿喵 I’m a new member of the forums. I’m sorry that statement upsets you. It’s a benefit of being a person where you won’t be censored, that you can say what you want. The bananas metaphor may just lead to a worse relationship, right? Open source projects can be copied though, and if you can get a few people to agree, you can start a competing open source product, right? May the peace of Christ be with you, friend.

    @martaisty I agree, this is a pretty awesome idea! I actually forgot there was a war going on.

    I’m a new user of Notepad++ and I already love it very much, both the politics and the software itself.

    It’s nice to see Don Ho has provided several ways I can help stop this damn war.

    As he suggested, I wanted to donate to one of the reliable organizations “Dronators” which is to help Ukraine assemble an army of drones but that project is already over and it’s no longer possible to donate.

    Anyways, I don’t think they will need my $50 as the project has collected $1,443,157,017! Impressive, but the war didn’t stop, what a bummer!

    In the end I chose to donate to the National Bank of Ukraine which is reliable as it is the national bank of Ukraine. Don Ho says this is to “help people suffering” and funding the military always leads wars to stop, eventually.

    As a developer, I often use Notepad++ when I’m traveling or working remotely. Recently, I took a cruise vacation, and it inspired me to jot down thoughts — not just code, but also motivational cruise quotes that help me stay creative.

    Here are a few cruise quotes that spark joy and clarity — just like clean code:

    “You can’t control the wind, but you can adjust the sails.”

    “Cruise life: where work ends and waves begin.”

    “Let your dreams set sail.”

    If you’re a developer who enjoys travel, you might enjoy reading my full list of inspiring cruise quotes here.

    Bonus tip: I used Notepad++ during my trip to take notes, edit scripts offline, and even write some travel logs!

    Let me know — do you code while cruising?
