    If I copy the .txt file with different extensions, the browsers are enabled and start for .cmd , .html , .xml , .c , but disabled for .txt , .zzz, .log , no extension.
    I don’t see what is the sense of this.
    I think if a file is open and npp can work with it, the view should work.
    The same issue exists on my wife’s Windows 8 machine.

    One more comment about that opening a file using the full path to notepad++ works.

    If you run

    notepad one

    then Windows executes the following:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" -notepadStyleCmdline -z notepad one

    You can experiment with removing the command line arguments which is how I found the problem is caused by the -notepadStyleCmdline parameter. The -z notepad parameter is also not documented but it appears the word notepad comes from Windows and the preceding -z is used to ignore the word “notepad” that Windows added to the command line.

    default font

    To quote myself from earlier today:

    The wonderful thing about tiggers… er, I mean, Notepad++, is that it’s highly configurable.

    If you don’t like a default, change the setting yourself. Style Configurator is your friend.

    Why was this chosen

    “Courier New” was probably chosen because it’s nearly universal on Windows machines, dating back as far as I can remember(*) in my font-based computing, and can be counted on to be there. And maybe there are people who prefer Courier New over Lucida Console, or whatever other “default” you might want to suggest.

    In the end, no default setting will make everyone happy for a given application, so the author picked some default and gave users the ability to change it. Since it’s configurable, the chances are pretty slim that the default will change.

    update: * “as far back”: a quick search found that Courier New was introduced as the system font in Windows 3.1 back in 1992. The first reference I can find to Lucida Console was Win 2000.

    welcome to the notepad++ community, @jhframe

    unfortunately the explorer plugin author has apparently made changes to the older 1.8.5 download, which is in the 7.6.6 plugins admin list.
    it’s possible this has happend as he released 1.8.6.

    currently, you have to install it manually, by downloading Explorer.zip from here:
    https://github.com/oviradoi/npp-explorer-plugin/releases and extract it.

    go to the notepad++ menu plugins > open plugins folder to open it in windows explorer. create a folder called Explorer. copy the extracted Explorer.dll into the Explorer folder. restart notepad++

    best regards.

    Thank you for the quick response.
    Yes, copy udl file to the mentioned folder (userDefineLangs -> without “d”) works. The fonts are shown correctly.
    Also yes, the mentioned Issue reflects my experience as well. I use the latest npp version.

    I would appreciate your work arround with copy job in a newer version.

    Obviously this requirements come from our browser experience.
    Browser made us used to split interactions into normal (like page down) and jumps (mostly hyperlinks) and it maintains history for jumps that allow us to perform back.

    So the basic analogy is to split Notepad++ caret movements and file switching transitions into normal and jumps and keep history of jumps in order to implement back. We would still argue if GoTo line is normal or jump.

    One major difference is that browsing is read-only. It is easy to go back to a page that does not change. It doesn’t work as well if the jumps history refers to text I just heavily modified. Nevertheless code developers spend so much time browsing lots of code in order to make very few modifications that even less then perfect solution could still be useful.

    As of version 7.7, Scintilla API version 4.1.4 is integrated into Notepad++.

    This is what the community wanted and @donho did not disappoint.

    On behalf of the whole community, thank you @donho.

    I don’t use VS2017. Only to create a SLN / VCXPROJ file and maybe update the SDK. I generally use Notepad++ to develop and then an NppExec script that helps me compile with ‘msbuild’. I don’t do much development in C/C++, mainly scripting with Perl, Python and other text doc manipulation.

    Sorry no help :-(
