    I find this limitation rather artificial and annoying

    It is not artificial. This is how Windows’ native font API works,
    and for a good reason - many fonts are manually hinted to
    raster grid, so trying to show them up at arbitrary size (especially
    by small sizes) - you’ll just get some blurry crappy
    quality. Of course this depends on rasterizer, but it seems Scintilla
    is dependent on Windows’ APIs. Manually hinted fonts
    (e.g. Times New Roman, Verdana) give significantly better quality so this makes sense.

    especially with raster- and raster-based fonts, which work only at certain sizes.

    This is quite self-contradictive: raster fonts are by nature non-scalable and are created initially in specific fixed sizes - each size is a separate
    image stack.

    @Suanne-Minden

    being able to make text bold would be great. These files need to be in .txt format not html.

    There is no such thing as basic formatting (e.g. bold) in .txt !

    to be able to pin most used files so they are readily available

    You might try the Explorer plugin as it gives you a Favorites panel which I use as a “pinning” mechanism.

    @Sam-Drost

    I think this is a more direct link to what you are referring to.

    I also think that you are correct, although probably a lot of Regular expression search mode users ignore the . matches newline checkbox and use instead (?s) or (?-s) at the start of their regular expression. Doing this makes unnecessary the need to know the 1024 mask value for the lParam of the 1702 message.

    BTW:

    (?s) at the start of Find what means effectively . matches newline checkbox ticked
    (?-s) at the start of Find what means effectively . matches newline checkbox cleared

    and:

    . matches newline checkbox ticked means the 1024 mask value is used
    . matches newline checkbox cleared means the 1024 mask value is not used

    @Arthur-Schwarez ,

    For example, if we have a directory with lhsrhs and “lhs rhs” then a command such as “for i *;; do echo $i; done” will return “lhsrhs”, “lsh”, “rhs”, yielding three files instead of two.

    You’re right, some scripts / syntax won’t work well on linux when there’s spaces in the name [see below for caveat]

    Then again, the same is true on Windows: for example, the wrong C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe %1 as your “open” file association in the registry, vs the right "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "%1".

    Your linux example is in a slightly different syntax than I’m used to; which shell is it? On some linux systems I have access to: in an ancient (c. 2004) GNU bash 3.00.15(1), or in my old but more recent (c. 2011) GNU bash 4.2.37(1), the syntax for i in * ; do echo $i ; done worked as expected from the command line when it ran across a filename with a space: it printed that spaced filename on one line.

    But even if you’re on a shell that doesn’t behave the same as my bashes, and really did split the filename over two lines, there should be a way around the problem. And in fact, it’s the same solution as you use in Windows: add quotes. I am betting that for i *;; do echo "$i"; done would work in that circumstance.

    But, as @Scott-Sumner pointed out, if the spaces in the themes really bother you, then just rename them. Their name isn’t critical to their functionality.

    Feature requests have a better chance of being noticed in the official Notepad++ Issues on the GitHub project; the maintainer occasionally reads some threads on these Community Forums, but it’s not guaranteed that a feature request in the Forums will be noticed or followed up on. Requests on GitHub aren’t guaranteed to be implemented, either (it’s a volunteer coding effort, after all), but the chances are better.

    You can search the existing issues for your idea: for example, I just did a quick search for “virtual desktop” there, and found issue#2755: ‘’[Feature Request] Option for one Notepad++ "mono-instance" per virtual desktop’’ looks like it’s asking for what you want, so you could upvote it (and maybe add additional comments, such as your link to the MSDN “Remarks” section, to help give ideas how to implement it).

    In addition to Peters useful tips,
    could it be that the sql files are sql dumps containing non-ascii chars and
    could it be that DSpellCheck is active aka Plugins->DSpellCheck->Spellcheck Document Automatically is checked? If so, I would give it a try with deactivated DSpellCheck.

    Yeah, that’s not what I need. This mode I had been switched, as suggested to me by Google. But in new Windows only those files that are opened by double-clicking on the file are opened. And I would like the files to be opened in new Windows from the context menu of the program.

    Find what : \)\R = find literal parenthesis followed by newline sequence
    Replace with : \)\x20 = replace with literal parenthesis followed by a space (character 0x20)
    Search Mode : ☑ Regular Expression

    P.S. :
    (paraphrasing @guy038, the forum’s regex guru, who compiled these great regex resources, but hasn’t shared them in this thread yet):

    Here is a good starting point for NPP users unfamiliar with regular expression concepts and syntax:

    http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Regular_Expressions

    Modern Notepad++ (since v6.0) uses the Boost C++ Regex library, v1.55.0 (similar to the Perl Regular Common Expressions (PRCE), v5.8):

    search syntax: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html replace syntax: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/format/boost_format_syntax.html

    Other sites with valuable regular expression information include:
