@guy038 Excellent! Thanks for the lists…

By the way, after months of trying all sorts of tricks to successfully encode the ÿ character to Hex in a UTF-8 encoded page, I realized that I had to initiate a Windows-1252 page first. And then it successfully converted the PNG to Hex. lol.
The NUL bytes (\x00) were problematic as well because unless they get loaded into a raw binary state, they usually get converted to spaces (20) . So I get it now. ITS A TEXT EDITOR! … but at least Windows-1252 gives me a work-around for bytes 0x00–0xFF
And then of course there’s Base64 to save the day!

Lastly, I copy and paste a lot of binary content , so thanks for IDM_EDIT_COPY_BINARY 42048

Cheers
Lance

@Alexander-Huckel ,

Sorry, I am not sure about the automatic translation of your question: do you mean auto-correction, where it fixes spelling? Or auto-completion, where it helps you type programming keywords or other terms already found in your document?

The latter is native to the app, described https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/auto-completion/ in the manual , and controlled by the settings described https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#auto-completion

Spelling correction is not implemented natively in Notepad++, but the DSpellCheck plugin is highly recommended for doing spell check and suggesting corrections.

@Sergio-Bonfiglio ,
Sorry, don’t have the time to research and provide an answer that is obvious after reading the documentation.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Insert sequential numbers at start of lines:

editor.replaceLine(line_nbr, '{n}) {c}'.format(n=chr(96+running_line_nbr), c=line_content))

Thank you! I had tried editing that line myself but I didn’t quite get it right. It’s all good now thanks to you 😁

ConfigUpdater v1.99_beta1 – Plugin Version

Initial Beta Testing Wanted

I have what I believe to be a working ConfigUpdater Plugin which implements the same functionality as the ConfigUpdater.py script, but without requiring the PythonScript plugin (which is a huge overhead for many normal users).

For the next few days, you can download the ConfigUpdater.dll from the Artifacts listed in this GitHub build of v1.99_beta1

If, like @Alan-Kilborn, you like having a copy of the “intermediate sorted” files (which don’t include any of the “updates” that the plugin grabs from the model files, but are sorted in the same order as will be in the final version of each config file, for easier comparison of what changed), then create ...\plugins\Config\ConfigUpdaterSettings.xml before running this plugin, with the contents:

<ConfigUpdaterSettings> <Setting name="DEBUG" isIntermediateSorted="1"/> </ConfigUpdaterSettings>

If it needs Elevated UAC permissions, it will ask you, and restart Notepad++: if it restarts, you will have to run the plugin command again after Notepad++ is ready. (It will also ask, once done, if you want to go back to non-Elevated mode, because running AsAdmin is a bad idea. ;-) )

For beta testing, it’s probably a good idea to keep a copy of your original langs.xml/stylers.xml/theme files

Everything else should hopefully be self-explanatory.

Please let me know if you have problems (or if everything works great).

@PeterJones
Thanks for your repply
I will atach a sreenshot

@W-D-Smith said in NotePad++ preview plugin? I can't find it.:

I’m told I have to have a preview plug in so I can open my page in NotePad++ to see how it looks. I absolutely cannot find this plugin. I just downloaded NotePad, and I’m completely lost. I had tried to use CoffeeCupHTML but it was complete rip-off.

If you are trying to write an HTML page in Notepad++, you can use one of the options in View | View Current File In to see how it renders in your browser.

If you are looking for a rendering within Notepad++, you can get Preview HTML from the built-in Plugins Admin:

Save any open files you want to keep. Select Plugins | Plugins Admin… from the main menu. Scroll down to Preview HTML and check the box to the left of that entry. Click the Install button near the top right of the dialog. Once Notepad++ restarts, open an HTML file and then access the menu for the plugin at Plugins | Preview HTML. (Check the first menu item to turn it on.)

I don’t use that plugin myself, so I can’t tell you much more about it, but no doubt others here can. It looks as if it exclusively uses Internet Explorer rendering, which is a bit out-of-date these days.

If you are looking for something that will let you edit directly in the rendered page, so that you edit how you want it to look and don’t concern yourself with HTML code/tags (what-you-see-is-what-you-get), that is not possible in Notepad++.

@Hugo-Martinez-Jara said in Notepad++ cloud:

Hi,
Is there a Notepad++ cloud service?
I’d love to save notes, ideas, or logs in .txt from different devices.
No one, as far as I know, has this solution.
As long as the current Notepad++ UX (in my opinion, the best) is respected.
I’m willing to collaborate in any way, whether by contributing work or financially.
Of course, I don’t speak English.
Writing in English is no problem (ChatGpt)
Thanks

Hugo,

Si tienes algo como Google Drive, puedes configurar tu propio sistema en la nube, y Notepad++ se adapta a eso, permitiéndote configurar una configuración en la nube que copiará tus archivos a esa unidad.

¿Para qué gastar dinero si no es necesario?

Si no es compatible con tu versión de Notepad++, simplemente lee y traduce el manual en línea para aprender cómo.

Traducción de Google Translate

English -
Hugo,

As long as you have something like GoogleDrive, you can setup your own cloud system, and Notepad++ accomodates that, by allowing you to setup a cloud setup, that will copy your files to that cloud drive.

Why create a cost for yourself if you don’t have to?

Just read and translate the online manual if it’s not native in your Notepad++ version to learn how.

@Coises

I see that the layout changes (randomly?) when I refresh the page, but it always shows something like that.

@donho : This cannot be intended, right?

No, it’s not intended. I keep blocking such Ads, but they keep coming.
From the interface of Adesense, I can (and I just did) block manually the coming ADs with “Download”, “Start” & “Continue”… etc. But there’s no way to filters these malicious ADs automatically.

I’ll see what I can do for solving this issue.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

@Estevao-Jordao ,

Did you really need to come 4 years later to give a URL to a random website when the problem is solved with Notepad++ and the JSToolNpp plugin mentioned then (or the JsonTools plugin which also exists now).

(your link was de-linkified, to avoid this forum becoming a honeypot for posting URLs to random sites unrelated to Notepad++)

“default style” is working fine for my purposes.

I will propagate these configuration changes to any other old installations I may have.

Thanks to all for the very effective help!

It sort of makes sense… shortcuts.xml is really just a bunch of overrides… so it isn’t really necessary to be there.

For keycombos, all of the defaults are still there, even without a shortcuts.xml file.

so I think this is expected/designed behavior

Or probably, “just never considered” behavior. :-)

@Molly-Harris-0 Have you tried the Window Manager plug-in?
With the tab bar disabled and using the Window Manager, I think you will have something akin to what you are looking for.

Hello, All,

Just a point of clarification : if you download the 3 parts of this list and want to test some other sorts , remember to add a space char in front of any code-point coded with 4 hexadecimal digits !

Indeed, for a correct empty rectangular selection, the characters must be aligned, like below :

2CE1 ⳡ 2CE2 Ⳣ 2CE3 ⳣ 102E1 𐋡 102E2 𐋢 102E3 𐋣

and NOT like below :

2CE1 ⳡ 2CE2 Ⳣ 2CE3 ⳣ 102E1 𐋡 102E2 𐋢 102E3 𐋣

If you forget to do so, you may see the message : Sorting multiple selections is not supported !

Best Regards,

@PeterJones said in Linux desktop version of notepad-plus-plus native. (crossplatform):

Besides, with Wine on Linux, I have heard that, except for edge cases, some people can have a reasonably-good Notepad++ experience on Linux.

This is very true, as one of the users of dBASE who specifically requested and encouraged me to work on the UDL for dBASE in Notepad++ is because at the time, his eyes were really bad, and the native IDE editor was not very customizable. He has adapted the dBASE Plus UDL I made so it works with dBASE 5.0 DOS/Windows via a WINE emulator on his servers…where he runs virtual machines for all dBASE versions. Because I was able to make that UDL, he was able to be productive again while getting help with his eyes and is doing much better now, but the point is…Notepad++ works just fine on Linux and Wine. I believe he uses Ubuntu for it, and as @PeterJones has said, only edge cases cause a problem for him, so it shouldn’t be a problem for you running it that way.

@ryangray01,

Again, your only contribution in this topic was to reiterate phrases that had already been used in other posts. Please try to include your own unique perspective in posts. You now have two “could be AI nonsense” strikes against you. You are on very thin ice at this point.

This was tested on Notepad++ v7.8 (32-bit) on Windows 10 (64-bit)

Why would anybody still be using v7.8 (32-bit) on Windows 10 (64-bit) – in 2019, when the original discussion was started, that was reasonable. But 6 years later, when Notepad++ is to v8.8.1, and Windows 10 is at the cusp of end-of-support from Microsoft, I cannot believe you are actually still using that setup, or that there is any benefit today to trying to replicate that 6-year-old setup.

@ryangray01 ,

note from moderator: please reply to the original topic, rather than creating a new topic, otherwise readers lose all context. I have fixed this post (and one other), but it’s really better if you just keep the reply in the same topic to begin with.

update: two of your three posts so far seemed like AI nonsense; two of your three posts so far have replied into a separate topic from the post being replied to; it is really looking like you are just here to disrupt communication, rather than participate in community. If your next post is as meaningless as two of yours, or if it requires extra moderator effort to re-connect it to context, I am going to conclude that you are an AI, and thus react according to our forum’s policy on AI nonsense.
