    Vibrant Ink with some minor adjustments is close to what I want out of the box.

    Updating themes during updates…
    Pro: Updates fix issues with themes and maybe adjusts to match UI changes.
    (?? Con: User customization replaced with defaults? ??)

    The UI is affected by other things like windows theme, windows color hacks (since w10 infringes upon customization). UI tools like Windowblinds can enhance but also cause display issues. Microsoft could design a more consistent and intelligent UI framework… nvm.

    Style requires much fiddling with all the different formats available. This requires excessive clicking. I sometimes edit the XML to mass replace specific colors. But my plate is full, and when I stacked NPP dev, my bbq ribs pushed into the mashed potatoes, toppling the outer wall, and gravy spilled over and spread under the butter dish, which someone grabbed and… we had gravy circles all over the place, and sticky wet elbows. But my NPP was perfect :)

    Is that what we come to since Scintilla in mainstream N++ is so out of date?

    welcome to the notepad++ community, @copenhaus

    to avoid automatic .txt extension, for files without extensions, e.g. hosts, when saving:

    please go to settings > preferences > default directory and activate use new style dialog, as seen at the screenshot below.

    after that you can save any extension-less file, as well as saving any file with full manual file extension control.

    Thx to Simon Liddington, NPP might not annoying you.
    But it’s not fixed yet? NPP is the only app which appears on all Virtual Desktops in Windows 10.
    It does whatever mode (multi- or mono-) you set.

    welcome to the notepad++ community, @KryptykHermit

    this has almost always been like that (except faulty versioning versions 7.6.1 to 7.6.3)
    file version will be 7.x.x.x
    product version will be 7.xx

    this product version scheme M.mm is also what the auto updater and the notepad++ update servers expect.

    if you have written your script based on 7.6.1 to 7.6.3, you will have to modify them accordingly.

    Thank you now it works as expected…interesting that the setting is called new behavior when it is actually old behavior, but whatever happy it works, I would have never found that so thanks again!

    welcome to the notepad++ community, @Alex-C

    rainbow brackets (colour coded nested brackets) will currently not be implemented in notepad++, due to limitations of the scintilla component, which it depends on.

    rainbow brackets could be done with external plugins, overriding the internal lexer, but as far as i know of, no plugin that is capable to add rainbow brackets to notepad++ exists at the moment.

    note: rainbow brackets could also be done with scripting plugins, like pythonscript, to some extent, but i’ve not been able to find any existing, working scripts yet either.

    my apologies and best regards.

    I found the same issue with NP++ 64 bit. TextFX, which I use a lot, is not available on 64 bit.
    My solution was to go back to the 32 bit version which still has TextFX in the admin list as an available addon.

    @Alan-Kilborn

    from what i’ve found out so far, this @ prefix highlighting as decorator “would” be fixed since scintilla 3.7.3.
    but notepad++ uses a scintilla base version 3.5.6. with custom modifications.

    How to find two or more non-consecutive tabs in a line?

    Hi, @glossar, @alan-kilborn, @meta-chuh, @peterjones and All,

    Fundamentally, the new Alan’s solution and mine give the same right results, i.e. to match any non-empty line which does not contain a tabulation character !

    By the way, we, both, forget to add the leading in-line-modifier (?-s) to be sure that, even you previously ticked the . matches newline option, the regex engine will suppose that any . char does match a single standard character, only !

    So, our two solutions should be :

    Alan : (?-s)^((?!\t).)+$

    Guy : (?-s)(?!.*\t)^.+

    However, note that the logic, underlying these 2 regular expressions, is a bit different :

    In the Alan’s regex, from beginning of line ( ^ ), the regex engine matches for one or more standard characters, till the end of line ( $ ), ONLY IF each standard character encountered is not a tabulation character, due to the negative look-ahead (?!\t), located right before the . regex character

    In the Guy’s regex, the regex engine matches for all the standard characters of a line, ( ^.+ ), ONLY IF ( implicitly at beginning of line ) it cannot find a tabulation character further on, at any position of current line, due to the negative look-ahead (?!.*\t)

    I did a test with a file of 2,500,000 lines, half of which contained 1 tabulation character and, clearly, the Alan’s version is faster ! ( 2 mn 15 s for Alan instead of 5mn for my version )

    BR
