you usually get reputation by someone Rep-ing a post you make. Read your own quote it does say “post” and not “new topic” then you come to complain and have to wait another 1200 seconds. good use of a post lol. Not being a D but total first world problem man, you sound like a little kid not getting his way lol. Have a good one.

It seems that Scintilla support visual rendering of lines with RTL symbols by reversing specific sequences but “forgets” to extend this support to anything beyond the rendering itself. Highlighting adds background color at absolute index ranges.
Not even sure if Scintilla implements this support directly or get it for free from the Win32 APIs it uses.

If you typed the following Logical order:
<RTL sequence A…B> <LTR sequence C…D> < RTL sequence E…F>
Scintilla will display the following Visual order:
<Reversed RTL sequence F…E> <LTR sequence C…D> <Reversed RTL sequence F…E>

Logical: A..B C..D E..F Visual: F..E C..D B..A

Now when you move with with the cursor from index 0 to the right the cursor will traverse the visual order.
But if you select a range of indexes [n:m] the range will refer to the logical order while the highlight will show the visual order.
Double click calculates the index location within the window, selects text at that index from the logical order and highlight the incorrect range within the visual order.

To fix that Scintilla will need to maintain for each line the mapping of logical to visual indexes and consult this mapping for cursor movement and highlighting. This can also lead to broken multiple highlighting if you select, in the example, [B:C].

It took Microsoft many years to make this work correctly. Not sure if all products support it or only Word.
I will not expect a free project that mainly target developers to make such a change anytime soon.
If you need RTL support stick with Word and its likes.

Have you tried the option:

Sorry, *.csv(MS-DOS) files ;-)

Search and replace in multiple .csv files, Search and replace only in active sheet and not in all opened files in 7.4.1 release
in 7.3.3 is ok

Hi guys,

I don’t think N++ is loosing anything. Just on the contrary - recently the code was greatly refactored and that’s a lot of work (unpleasant one).

@David-Bailey, I understand your point and concern - there might be other more useful features / improvements / bug-fixes that need the developers’ attention although it is subjective opinion too. That’s true. And you are right that a discussion on the forum about what to be fixed / improved would provide a good feedback. It would create new problems of course connected to the fact that someone will find a feature useful and another will insist on having something else (which sometimes may lead to endless talking just in the sake of it, but these forums are no chat). Besides, there is already the ‘Feature Requests’ forum that is meant to get feedback from the users. And frankly speaking in the latest versions Don is trying to fix what many users are complaining about - the Multi-line Tab behavior that moves the active tab’s line to the top. He also provides a new feature to the editor - the tab preview. You can disable it. Just because you are not going to be using something doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist. And of course everything new in software creates new bugs that are in turn hunted down and fixed. It’s a normal process you know that. I personally don’t find the new tab preview feature useful and I’m not using it (that’s also the case with the doc preview). But one might find it handy if he / she has many opened files with hard-to-remember names - having a preview (content excerpt / context) might help to find the right doc more easily. Just a thought.

I know Don is stubborn. In the past I’ve felt a bit frustrated when he had rejected some of my pull requests that I (and other users) have found very useful. But N++ is his creation and he has his own perception of what it should look like. He also has the final word, that’s normal. And coding N++ is something he is doing because he likes to do it. Fixing some difficult and messy part of the code is not as inspiring as adding a new feature or realizing a new idea. That’s understandable.

@Parpaluck209 ,
If there weren’t programming addicts you wouldn’t have a free software at all. But you are still asking for a good free text editor.
Those people are doing it for their pleasure and you benefit from that. They are not obliged to do boring and unpleasant work just because you need that. They’ll do (and code) what inspires them. It’s that simple.
If you are not a kid that wants to play with Don’s toy then don’t. Be mature. It’s your choice.
He’ll code for free what he wants - it’s his choice.

Best Regards

@Jozsef-Szasz-Fabian Unusable? In what way? The tabs should be working fine in v7.4.1. What tab behavior are you talking about?

@Scott-Gartner

This was discussed very recently here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/13835/request-yes-to-all-when-open-files-are-changed

Not sure if anyone followed through to check to see if there is already an open issue on that, or made one if there wasn’t…

@Sophist-UK

not sure if you are aware of this but there is already something implemented
which, more or less, does what you want. See Run menu Get php help.
Those entries are stored in shortcuts.xml file and can be modified to your needs.
(file is either available under %APPDATA%\notepad++ directory or
under installation directory - depends on your setup)

In addition there is a plugin called LanguageHelp which offers similar functionality.

Not 100% what you’ve asked for but maybe sufficient.

Cheers
Claudia

Thank you Scott.
