@Jorge-Carlos ,

I WOULD LIKE THE ZPL LANGUAGE TO BE ADDED FOR THE VIEWING OF THOSE TYPES OF FILES.

Notepad++ has about 80 languages built-in – but that’s a drop in the bucket compared to the uncountable number of coding languages possible in the world. It will never be able to have all the languages that someone might want.

Because the Developers know this, they provided the User Defined Language (UDL) system, whereby you can define as many custom languages as you want for Notepad++ using lists of keywords. So feel free to follow the UDL overview in the Online User Manual, plus the offsite UDL 2.1 guide that’s linked from the Languages > User Defined Language > Define Your Language… dialog, and add your language’s keywords and operators.

The Community even has a Collection of User-submitted UDL where users can submit your UDL definition after you’ve finished creating it, and where you can check before you create the UDL for the language, to see if someone else has already created one.

Looking through the list at the Collection, I see there’s a “Zebra Printing Language” which will show up in the Language menu as “ZPL”, so if you download that XML file and save it in %AppData%\Notepad++\userDefineLangs\ then restart Notepad++, you should see Language > ZPL in the bottom section of Notepad++'s Language menu – and that may or may not be the right language for you, depending on what you mean by “ZPL”.

@Andi-Kiissel If “WindowFrame” isn’t in the reg address I mentioned, it might be possible to just add that reg key and make it work if it keeps giving you issues.

@PeterJones Thank you for this. I used the “reg” command shown in that discussion and it worked. What surprised me was that I did not have to be admin to do it.

Hello, @michael-levy, @peterjones and All,

Some other characters are not %-encoded when using the The Plugins > MIME Tools > URL Encode option

So, here is a simple regex S/R which will encode the remaining ASCII characters !

SEARCH (!)|(\$)|(')|(\()|(\))|(\*)|(\+)|(,)|(-)|(\.)|(_)

REPLACE (?1%21)(?2%24)(?3%27)(?4%28)(?5%29)(?6%2A)(?7%2B)(?8%2C)(?9%2D)(?10%2E)(?11%5F)

If you do NOT want to encode the _ char, use this S/R :

SEARCH (!)|(\$)|(')|(\()|(\))|(\*)|(\+)|(,)|(-)|(\.)

REPLACE (?1%21)(?2%24)(?3%27)(?4%28)(?5%29)(?6%2A)(?7%2B)(?8%2C)(?9%2D)(?10%2E)

Best Regards,

@Alan-Kilborn said in NPP 8.6 multi-edit preference not shown?:

Or is it just a matter of getting used to a new and potentially better capability, if you keep an open mind about new and better things?

We pounded rocks the same way for about 1.5 million years. About 50,000 years ago was the start of an explosion of developing and accepting new techniques. I have long been fascinated by this as I suspect that early humans from even a million years ago were about as intelligent as today’s humans but they seemed to either not try or to not accept variations in how rocks should be pounded. See https://www.history.com/news/hunter-gatherer-tools-breakthroughs for a timeline that lead to Notepad++.

I’m still in my cave, resisting Notepad++ v8.6’s automatic multi-carets…

@Manu-el ,

Sorry, I misunderstood your question originally (because I didn’t remember that the sync functions had buttons on the toolbar, so my mind immediately went to the CustomizeToolbar plugin, instead of thinking of the built-in toolbarIcons feature).

In v8.4.2-v8.4.9, Notepad++ was not correctly tracking whether horizontal/vertical synchronization was possible, so it wasn’t changing those icons, and thus, it always used your custom sync-vertical.ico and sync-horizontal.ico

However, in v8.5, Notepad++ fixed that tracking and started using an enabled and disabled version of the builtin icon, but the developer apparently didn’t think about adding the ability to have sync-vertical_disabled.ico and sync-horizontal_disabled.ico – so when the sync are enabled, they use your custom icon, but when sync is disabled, it defaults to using the builtin icon.

In order for it to be implemented to look for sync-vertical_disabled.ico and sync-horizontal_disabled.ico when the sync is disabled, someone would have to create an official feature request (as described in our FAQ), and then the developer or one of the other volunteers would have to implement that feature. If you do submit such a request, please paste a link to the request in a reply here, so that other interested people can follow the status of the request.

@rdipardo
Thanks, this solution helped

This happened to me as well. It’s not an infinite loop, though. While Ctrl+Shift+A is bound to “Save As” in many applications, it’s bound to “Save All” in Notepad++, which causes this surprising behaviour that can seem like an infinite loop, if you have very many files open. To solve it, I simply rebound Ctrl+Shift+A to “Save As”.

@Enrico-Fiorini
This feels to me more like a question about XSD (which I know nothing about, just linked the best-seeming link I could find) than about Notepad++.

On the other hand, if you found an example of where XMLTools (or whatever plugin you’re using, IDK) was giving an error where it shouldn’t be, that is more of a Notepad++ - related question.

@mkupper thanks for the suggestion )
Unfortunately, not every instance has to be replaced. Depends on whether the phrase is said by other personage

This is a real necropost at roughly 6.5 years later, but I wanted to post an updated version of the earlier script made by @Scott-Sumner ; one that just feels a bit less hackish (sorry).

I call this variation SearchResultPanelGetText.py:

@ImSpecial said in Can font size be changed to be smaller in newer version of notepad++?:

If this is a bug, could someone who knows more about what’s going on look into this?

What you are noticing is the effect of these changes and these changes, introduced in version 8.5.4 (see "14. Several GUI Enhancements ").

As N++'s maintainer remarked at the time:

The reduced tab font size is a little bit larger than before.
Let’s see the reaction of users in the next release.

Obviously, he accepted the larger sizes into the source tree anyway.

If you disagree with these design choices, you can post your criticism to the GitHub issue tracker. Be sure to mention these items for context:

There is a text file it looks like this Macintosh encoding
mortification
honey
micropattern
cash

This text was copied from another text file which has normal Russian language without ¤ symbols

I take it and replace ¤ with I Encode the text in UTF 8 and then save it in ensi, restart the text file and again the same words with the symbols ¤ and Macintosh encoding

Hello, @dj.michael-beil.-de-omt24-corp, @coises, @mkupper and All,

Yes,… Indeed, just a typo :-((

So, regarding my first regex search expression, the right syntax is the @mkupper’s one !

The new NppShell is cleverly designed to work in both the new Win11 menu and at the same time in the old classic one. Implementation details:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/nppShell/commit/8f26080a71594f4f24de43d06ee1c906a8bc0b1d

I can use both in my Win11 after the usual installation. No need for additional Registry hacks.

I created a new issue on github as the tab bar should not have appeared like that.

@Dave-D said in Notepad++ 8.6 Bug???:

19ce7d1b-907a-4e64-b7d5-f077c321c1ae-image.png

Versions of HTML Tag before 1.2.3 have trouble detecting “point zero” (.0) release numbers like 8.6: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/76001

You just need to upgrade the plugin. The installer at Plugins > Plugins Admin should be offering 1.4.1. After that, open the About menu and click on “Bugs” if you have more to report.

Wow that was it thanks a lot
I didn’t expect this to have such a simple solution
