edit %AppData%\Notepad++\langs.xml

Specifically, change this line:

to this:

Removing tab from the list of extensions for nncrontab files.

Yes it is: E.g. commit 0aafe91be9f49fdb3dedae2b0ba5b4317480b9f5 clearly mentiones an easteregg:
Fixed Typos in quote eastereggs

@PeterJones said:

nothing … would prevent you from putting in an official feature request. See our FAQ section, which links to where feature requests go.

@PeterJones Right, I should look better at what I’m copying and pasting… ;)

@datatraveller1 @PeterJones

If we’re switching over to font recommendation, I like Fira Code Retina. :-)

@pnedev ,
Thanks !!! Wow, what a difference. I had no idea there was a ComparePlus. It works great. I teach a coding class, and it makes grading and correcting students assignments a whole lot easier. Notepad ++ is an awesome product.
Thanks again,
Mark

@do-kim ,

Thank you for considering this request.

You have made what appears to be a feature request. Please see our Feature Request FAQ

As a fellow user of Notepad++, I would say: I have never had a need for such a complicated search. But if you were to submit an official feature request and it were implemented, it would be fine with me.

Truly agree rust is really a far better language

Thank you for sharing this informative trick[.]Hope next time we are not going to face this problem again.

@datatraveller1 Thanks, I forgot to look in that obvious place!!

@Mark-Olson And now I have to look up “amphophilic”

Neat

Hi @PeterJones,
Thank you very much for your comments;
Hi @dinkumoil,
Thank you very much for clarifying and the great plugin!

@Hereturbie ,

There’s an option to change how many characters you have to type before the autocompletion appears: Settings > Preferences > Auto-completion > From Nth character. So if you want to not autocomplete on X characters or less, then set that initial typing to X+1.

(If you want it to only show you length>X words, but start when you’ve only typed a couple characters, sorry, that feature doesn’t exist. We have a FAQ on where to make feature requests.)

@PeterJones Doh. Right. Worked once I found the one from 2022. :D Thx.

@PeterJones said in startfunc tip (autocomplete):

I had just finished confirming

Thank you for actually testing my conjecture. Proof that it works and why is certainly more valuable than speculation.

Cheers.

@Paul-Wormer said in Windows side by side:

There are several ways, but an easy one is: drag by your mouse (keep left button pressed) an Npp tab to somewhere on your screen. You will see the following pop-up

To obtain the two-item menu you show, it is important that “…to somewhere on your screen…” is limited to the confines of the N++ window. If you drag outside the N++ window and release the left-click, you’ll start another N++ instance (if so configured).

@PeterJones TYVM…sounds like the “code” is sending the Highlight instead of just the text. Git Ext/Desktop had this same problem but was ideal with color printers, not so with B/W printing.

Also, for B/W printing the “Print” setting will most likely need to be “Black on White” otherwise the text colors will be interpreted to the Grayscale.

Hi @Alan-Kilborn,
I use this “Search Result window: show only one entry per found line” setting and like it very much because all these duplicate superfluous lines which bothered me are gone :-). I think this setting was introduced only a few months ago. I haven’t encountered any issues yet but of course this does not mean there aren’t any.
