I didn’t mean the code could handle any programming language. I meant that the Pythonscript coder could account for it (any programming languages they are interested in) at coding time. :)

And of course I meant any “realistic” programming language with a decent syntax, not necessarily the languages with hellish syntaxes. Thus, not ANY programming language; I should have been clearer.

I’ve done this sort of thing before in MultiEdit’s macro language (CMAC) for the C family of languages, and Perl/Python. That’s what I’m basing my “wouldn’t be too hard” comment on.

The updates works only with “Reload from disk” menu.
It seems that is a common problem for all files.
I tried with 3 files updated by external application (log files)

If you are on Windows you might right-klick it and choose “Restore previous versions”.
(same as r-klick, “Properties”, tab “Previous Versions”).
According to Windows Help, there’s one backup per restore point (haven’t checked if settings influence this).

It can be enabled currently without an need for a code change to Notepad++. See http://superuser.com/questions/401551/notepad-cursor-past-end-of-line-virtual-spaces for a possible procedure (there are others, e.g. with Pythonscript).

Not sure this is the same thing but a colleague of mine recently tried to change fonts in NPP. He changed it for the C language styles but for tab and spaces NPP (or Scintilla) refer only to the Global Styles --> Default Style. So the they were not synchronized to the C code. E.g. 4 spaces where shorter than 4 C chars since spaces where in ‘Global’ font and not the C font.

@Giancarlo-Riccio

Are you by any chance talking about the capability provided by Notepad++'s Incremental Search feature?

See the Search menu -> “Incremental Search”.

If not, please clarify your inquiry…

okay thanks

@Grégory-Roche

I’m not aware of a native builtin function so I would
use a pdf printer driver and use the print function.

@Michael-Schjeldahl-Nielsen

Do a regular expression find-and-replace:

Find what box: \t
Replace with box: ,
Search mode: Regular expression

@nbehrnd

afaik it isn’t. There is a discussion about having plugin manager doing it.
See here.

@Alan-Kilborn

I agree, but, for me, programming is like cooking
you can try as hard as possible but you won’t
meet everyones taste.

@PeterJones

you are right, this is one of npps mantras.
Don’t change customized config files.
Thx for clarification.
