    Let’s say I have this text:

    a
    b
    c

    Now to select the whole thing, I need to drag the mouse all the way to to the top, is there a shortcut to do that?

    @Andrey-Ws

    TextFX can format empty spaces ?

    the best thing is, if you test everything yourself, by downloading the portable notepad++ 7.6.4. 32 bit from here:
    https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.6.4/npp.7.6.4.bin.zip
    (the portable version will work completely isolated from your installed version and is perfect for any testing. any settings or plugin installation you do at the portable version, will not modify anything at your installed version. that’s why many of us use this version for testing)

    extract npp.7.6.4.bin.zip to your desktop.
    start it by double clicking on notepad++.exe inside the npp.7.6.4.bin folder.
    use the built in plugins admin to download textfx, or any other available plugins you would like to try.

    happy testing.

    It’s the paragon of function over form dialog box

    Maybe I’m a right-brainer, but I don’t see the TextFX Find/Replace as so great. It’s OK, and of course there are some good ideas there, but maybe the primary benefit is that it is narrow in width.

    Me? I write down the things that I want to work on,
    Then, later, usually on the weekends (because I work on weekdays)
    I work on them and I get somewhere.
    Small steps, eventually get you to places. But, it will never be perfect.

    Glad I decided to log in on a Saturday.

    Thanks for getting that released, @vor0nwe. Much appreciated.

    It means I’ll probably finally get around to upgrading to 64-bit at home.

    @Shawn-Holderfield

    I assume you overwrote default style font size, correct?
    If so, overwrite line number margin in global styles with a smaller size.

    @KyferEz , Welcome to the Notepad++ Community.

    Hello, @gipadm , and welcome to the Notepad++ Community Forum.

    That’s an interesting idea.

    Since this it the Community Forum, and not the issues-tracking page, the developer is more likely to notice your request if you follow the instructions in our FAQ for making a feature request.

    Once you do, please post a link of that issue# to this forum topic.

    Good luck

    @Meta-Chuh

    or what some programs do - create documentation from source like doxygen, sphinx etc…
    Would have the benefit that the program is more readable/understandable itself
    but requires to be consequent.

    @PeterJones

    Looks like this works if the number of selected rows are equal to the the number of selections from the editor. Tested with LibreOffice Calc.

    import ctypes def custom_paste(): if ctypes.windll.user32.OpenClipboard(None): try: clipboard_handle = ctypes.windll.user32.GetClipboardData(1) if clipboard_handle: pointer_to_content = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GlobalLock(clipboard_handle) clipboard_data = ctypes.c_char_p(pointer_to_content).value ctypes.windll.kernel32.GlobalUnlock(clipboard_handle) else: raise ValueError('Invalid clipboard handle') except Exception as e: print('Error', e.message) return finally: # ensures that clipboard will be closed even in case of an exception ctypes.windll.user32.CloseClipboard() # there was no exception - start replacing targets lines = clipboard_data.splitlines() if len(lines) == editor.getSelections(): for i, line in enumerate(lines): editor.setTarget(editor.getSelectionNStart(i), editor.getSelectionNEnd(i)) editor.replaceTarget(line) else: print('Unable to open the clipboard - try again later') custom_paste()
