    @SamuelCalifornia Personally I wouldn’t cater to such stupidity, and yes that is stupidity. People who think childrens’ minds are so fragile they’ll just come apart at the mention of the word beer shouldn’t even be allowed in teaching. I cannot stand the sort of people who will try at great lengths to shield kids from the realities of life and pretend we live in a Disney cartoon. What, people drink beer?? Women have breasts?? Oh no, the humanity!!

    I created this tool so that I could have an editor independent popup with the snippets I use in any software.

    There is a ‘Zoom Disabler’ plugin. Did not try it by myself.

    Settings->Preferences->Backup
    Check the related boxes under Session snapshot and periodic backup.

    I had this problem. Restarting notepad++ seemed to fix it. Maybe it is related to having notepad++ open for many days.

    although Don and other devs do visit(and reply to) the forum from time to time
    it might be a good idea to open an issue here.

    @David-McCallum

    I have no trouble deleting the directory/folder in such a case, with Win7 64bit and Notepad++ 7.3.3 32bit at least. Maybe the way I tried it is different from your use-case where you see an issue–can you post more detail about what you do to see this happen? Maybe that sounds dumb, but bear with me–people often leave out a crucial step that seems so obvious to them, but isn’t at all to others.

    What error do you get when trying to delete the directory? A “Folder In Use” box with “Try Again” and “Cancel” buttons?

    If you want to interactively edit some string values, I think you should consider to use an XML Editor, e.g. XML Notepad. See: Comparison of XML editors

    I can fix it using beach-dix’s method, but I do the followings to save my settings:

    Close NP++ Go to NP++ directory Rename config.xml to config_backup.xml Copy config.model.xml to config.xml Start NP++ Check if it’s fixed. Close NP++ Delete config.xml Rename config_backup.xml to config.xml Start NP++

    So the config file isn’t changed in the end, but when I started NP++ with a new config.xml something got reset, then I could copy back my configs.

    Nowadays, it’s a common practice to auto-check for updates on startup, and prompt the user to visit the website to manually download and install the newer version, if any. A silent auto-updater would not be a good idea here because the Npp website would receive much less visitors, and the developers surely don’t want that.

    Thank you for the ideas, but ideally I would like to not have extra steps. Updating the .ini could be an idea if I make it run a xcopy of a preconfigured config file as part of the notepad++ install. As for the make a model installation, I’m not sure I have ever done that or know how lol. Is there really zero info on Notepad++ side on whether or not the next installer will just include the updated plug-in manager? To me it seems like a bad update if after you install you must update another component of the program that you just “updated” should the .exe not include all components?

    Hello, @alanrew,

    Starting with the 7.3.1 version of N++, you can change the default word characters list ( any character matched by the regex \w )

    Select the menu option Settings > Preferences… > Delimiter > Word character List

    Click on the choice : Add your character as part of word

    Type in the $ character, in the field

    Close the Preferences dialog

    Et voilà !

    Remarks :

    Strangely, the regex \w, still, does NOT match the $ symbol !?. Therefore, a PHP variable name should be matched with the regex \$\w+

    A double-click on words , containing the $ symbol or ending with it will, also, select them !

    Best Regards

    guy038
