@Terry-R

The sole reason to come here in this forum was actually this issue.
I guess it is something about some MS standard way to treat it? I’m too ignorant to discuss this.
But, if there is a way to address this, make the scroll bar click+hold to ignore mouse’s left right
movement - it would actually be a good improvement.

Thing is, smoothly scrolling through 2-3 pages using scrollbar (not mouse wheel or pgup/down) - the need for this is so unique for a coding editor. My case, that is. Well, there are other cases/apps and it is solved differently.
(for example musical notation software - with their must have “navigator” thingy)

Interestingly, I can reproduce this in my daily-use N++ v8.5, even with “short” lines.

However, if I extract fresh portable versions (for any of 8.4.9, 8.5, 8.5.1), I cannot reproduce it with those.

:-(

@Johan-Taunajik said in UDL or Language of “Registry”:

It has 8 digits after dword: then is has to show green.
“HeapDeCommitFreeBlockThreshold”=dword:0002215C
If it hasn’t 8 digits after dword:, it has to show orange.
“HeapDeCommitFreeBlockThreshold”=dword:0002215

Afaik you can’t do this natively with UDL, but by installing the EnhanceAnyLexer plugin, caveat, I’m the author, you might get what you want.
Install the plugin via the plugin admin, open a registry file and run Plugins->EnhanceAnyLexer->Enhance current language.
The configuration file will open and replace the registry block with something like this:

[registry] 0x7fff00 = (?<=dword:)[[:xdigit:]]{8}(?=[^[:xdigit:]]|$) 0x009BFF = (?<=dword:)[[:xdigit:]]{1,7}(?=[^[:xdigit:]]|$) ; Note: Style 4 (HEX DIGIT) must be removed here or excluded_styles must be commented out completely. excluded_styles = 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

Maybe THIS?

That did it!

Thanks again,

I found what the problem is:

AppXSVC needs to be running… but why? It is needed to install the new shell menu “Edit with notepad++” as it comes in a *msix package but I’m not installing it, so there should be no reason for the main exe to be requesting AppXSVC to be running despite it isn’t needed anymore.

Am I misunderstanding something?

@Jeb-Swartzentruber said in Windows 10 taskbar grouping:

Greetings. I switched to Windows 10 about a month or so ago and I noticed many apps that I “pin to the taskbar” do not open next to the icon, but instead at the far right of the taskbar. I think this is a new setting, because Firefox used to do the same thing until a recent update. This only happens when “Combine when taskbar is full” is selected. Thank you for a great product!

Yes, it is a great product.

@Mark-Olson Thank you very much. it solved my problem!

oh yes, it work fine.
thank you for reply

Regards

Let’s hope and pray they are printing to a PDF printer. :-P

O hope its worked 🤔

Yes it worked.

oh yes!
and from Setting - Shortcut Mapper i can assign a shortcut to this command

thanks, i hadn’t seen it …!

@Ken-Rich you can check out this video tutorial that I made for DSpellCheck. Hope it helps.

The tab named ‘Comment & Number’ does not show this sentence:

Sorry, I assumed that “did you try changing the Styler for numbers” would lead you to the “Number Style” section to click on the Stylers button.

I did not tried to change anything else, I changed directly what you recommended.

For the first problem – the main text showing up inverted – that makes sense. But when you had a problem with numbers, I would have hoped that you would learn from the first lesson and generalize. I cannot possibly anticipate every problem you might have, and, as my time in this forum is just on a volunteer basis, I cannot spend all my time exploring every possible problem someone might have implementing my advice.

Which Styler button are you referring to: the one in ‘Number style’ ?

Yes.

@Ganesh-Venkat

Update: there is already an existing feature request #8300 that was requested in May 2020, and the developers haven’t implemented it yet. You can feel free to upvote that request at the link I provided, but again, I am doubtful that anything will ever come of it.

@TencentSZ

When you post about a problem, you should always start out with stating what version you are using. Also, if you had posted a screenshot rather than just describing the problem, we’d have gotten you to a solution faster.

Just some points to remember for next time. :-)

@drankinatty said in Feature Request - Toggle Line Numbers:

I installed PythonScript plugin. That really isn’t an efficient solution. Installing a 20M plugin just to toggle line-numbers on/off seem a bit overkill.

I really can’t conversate rationally with someone that is going to complain about a 20MB usage in today’s world.

(not to mention the additional vulnerability from having yet another part of npp automatically pulled from github - and being python - the recent Pypy attack is a reminder that isn’t always a good idea)

Another irrational point – go with Smith Corona, as suggested?

We’re just N++ users here, attempting to point out ways in which you can obtain your desired functionality right this instant. Often these ways involve some sort of compromise on your part. Your alternative is to just go on missing the feature you are missing.

@PeterJones Thank you! apparently my google fu needs work

This discussion has made me realize that I’m guilty of letting the “perfect” be the enemy of the “good” - so, to rectify that, here is my current, combined, unfinished (and likely “perpetually unfinished”) version of @Ekopalypse and @Alan-Kilborn’s keyboard programs. I realize that this program is way longer than it needs to be, both in terms of code and comments, but I took this on as a learning experience; if anyone is interested in suggesting further improvements, I’ll be glad to receive them.

@Terry-R ,

@guy038 and I are the primary FAQ maintainers, though there are a couple others who have permissions to edit the FAQ entries. If you message either of us when you notice something out-of-date in a FAQ, we’ll generally handle it promptly.

(For example, I just changed the links in that FAQ)

Though I don’t have time at this instant, I have also added a TODO to my list searching for other Boost links to see if there are more that should be changed. (I don’t think we have as many volatile Scintilla links, since Scintilla has one single source for documentation, and doesn’t link doc-per-version.)

@dail said in Why Does the app take so long to start?:

No it is not normal. It is possible it may be due to a certain plugin taking a while to load (or lots of plugins). Try starting it with plugins disabled to see if that helps.

Yes It is normal.
