@PeterJones The Files I’ve been working with are definitely large. They are CCDs (Continuity of Care Documents) so I will disable/remove the features you mentioned and see if that helps. Thanks again for the tip.

@David-Fernandes ,

It depends on what you mean by “markers”. If you mean a bookmarked line (clicking in the bookmark margin, or Ctrl+F2 to toggle bookmarks), then one way, if you’ve got two bookmarked lines:

F2 (Search > Bookmark > Next Bookmark) to go to one of the two bookmarks Ctrl+Shift+B (Edit > Begin/End Select) to start the selection F2 (Search > Bookmark > Next Bookmark) to go to other bookmark Ctrl+Shift+B (Edit > Begin/End Select) to end the selection → it will be selected from the start of the upper line to the start of the lower line (so it will not include the full lower line)

If you just have two locations, and can get to them in some other way, you can use the same Begin/End Select.

For example, if I have used the Search > Mark dialog to mark the 9 instances of morbi in my Lorem ipsum text, I could then use F3 (Search > Find Next) to get to the desired morbi mark, then Ctrl+Shift+B to start the selection, then F3 one or more times to get to another morbi, then Ctrl+Shift+B to select that region:

Either of these give some sort of “marker” and then select the text in between. To “isolate”, I assume you could copy/paste the selection to some other document or to some other section of your current document.

If this isn’t sufficient, you will have to explain more about what you want.

, did my last post get deleted

You actually put two replies in one post in this other thread. I just quoted from that (with the link) here, so people in this topic could see it was resolved

@Mark-Olson Thank you Mark! I haven’t had to manually set these options since I first started using Notepad++ years ago.

@randomguyingithub You should try signing off/on first before wasting time with a reboot.

I’ve done a little experimenting. I tried moving the &, like this:

Edit with Notepad&++

But the underline didn’t move and + didn’t work as the shortcut.

I noticed, however, that e worked as the shortcut. Sometimes. See, a lot of menus already have an entry that says simply Edit. It has the E underlined. But that entry launches Notepad (yuck). But some menus don’t have an entry for Edit. On those menus, e does open the file in Notepad++ even though its E is not underlined. I did try doing this:

&Edit with Notepad++

But that did not cause the E to be underlined. It also did not stealth-add e as a second occurrence of the e shortcut on menus that also contained Edit. The underlines are regularly not unique on menus. You just have to type the shortcut again then hit Enter, instead of just typing the shortcut & that’s enough to activate that menu entry.

So I guess I have half a solution, a workaround that works sometimes. I suppose that’s better than nothing.

@PeterJones I did not notice the tabs

@PeterJones said in Remove Parameters from Functions List?:

<nameExpr expr="(?:\x26\s*)?[A-Za-z_

That worked, thank you very much. I’ve had some very minimal experience with these files in the past though a while ago and not enough to claim to be familiar.

Your feature, go ahead and open a request if you’d like.

Not mine! See the linked posting.

@PeterJones Thanks! Good to know!

@Brigham-Narins

Bug report opened HERE; you probably want to go back into it and supply the requested Debug Info. Issues get rejected when people don’t supply that.

Sure you can. Try this

Settings > Preferences > New Document > Defaoult language and set COBOL there.

@mkupper said in Hi, looking for a regex that calculates distance between 2 numbers, then adjust the 2nd number to a minimum of 30.:

Is it possible to run a PythonScript on all open tabs?

No. What you would do is, in a single run of a single script, iterate over the open file tabs:

for (filename, bufferID, index, view) in notepad.getFiles(): notepad.activateFile(filename) ....

After a file is “activated”, then the editor object can manipulate the data of the activated tab, e.g., perhaps do an editor.replace(), etc.

@William-Nevil said in Where is the option for session snapshot?:

@Alan-Kilborn Odd. When I try to update it says there are no updates. I’ll have to redownload the package and install fresh. Thanks yall

Excellent.

Thank you, both! That’s very helpful.

Yes it does

I have reported this in the Announcement topic where @Snabel42 had reported about the captcha affecting Notepad++ Update, as well as I just created issue #13685. We’ll see if Don can get his ISP to turn that off for those URLs.

@timendum ,

update: fixed.
