@SoCu said in Full line selection and keyboard shortcut:

you can see that with each update you have to reconfigure everything that has been changed, I think this would not have to be changing with each update.

No, that’s not true.
However, if the author of Notepad++ “adjusts” keycombos for a new release (there’s been some mumbo jumbo with Ctrl+c lately), then you might have to.

Fixed in https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/76cfc5945ecf1bebabb52a032572ec7f6b7b6029

@Somnath-Shinde Please follow the debug steps outlined by @PeterJones at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/21450/windows-11/11

@PeterJones Legit, you the man.

There were many styles I was missing so I’ve updated my styles.xml with them all now.

Thanks.

@PiotrMP006

I don’t believe it can be done by Notepad++ itself.

If by “next to” you mean “to the right of”, then the following PythonScript script can do it:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from Npp import * curr_view = notepad.getCurrentView() total_tabs_in_view = 0 for (pathname, buffer_id, index, view) in notepad.getFiles(): if view == curr_view: total_tabs_in_view += 1 curr_tab_index = notepad.getCurrentDocIndex(curr_view) notepad.new() for __ in range(total_tabs_in_view - curr_tab_index - 1): notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.VIEW_TAB_MOVEBACKWARD)

@Merci-chao

It’s somewhat of a frequently-requested feature; see HERE for one such request, with some links to others.

@Diego-Raguindin This worked perfectly ¡Gracias!

A similar issue was reported recently that turned out to be a faulty graphics driver (or a lemon PC, as suggested by the closing comment): https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/14581

@Terry-R said in Can't report bug on Github:

it might be a plug-in.

@gerdb42’s observation applies to plugins as well. A Windows DLL does not execute in kernel mode (as drivers do). Unless the plugin is directly interfacing with a driver, it would not be able to crash the OS.

@Ron-Tarrant-1
It’s okay. I found the answer on Stackoverflow. In case someone else comes looking for this, here’s the entire script (note the ‘-u’ arg after ‘py’):

NPP_SAVE cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" cmd.exe /c py -u "$(FILE_NAME)"

Thanks again for all the help.

@Stefan-Ozminski said in Hazardous blank operations operate on whole file when no selected text, need to evolve safer approach:

think the most unusual thing needed to make this last approach work would be to leave the menu open when “Require selected text for operation” or “Allow operation without selected text” is clicked

Hmm, that is a good point and I’d need think about if it’s possible without a lot of code within Notepad++. One of the things Windows offers to all applications is the availability to define menus. The part where the user can pull down a menu, select sub-menus, etc. is handled by Windows. When a menu option is selected Windows closes the menu, parent menu, etc. and then tells the application that someone has selected a menu item and which one it was. Menus and sub-menus are handled as separate “windows” that are layered on top of the application.

It’s possible for applications to to define what they call window message handlers. Custom window message handlers for the menu “windows” are not very common meaning there will be few good examples to use, particularly for something unusual such as keeping a holding a menu open while flags get enabled/disabled.

I renew my thanks to all you : my last request !
My file at the end seem like this ;
( usually is 10 or 11 rows total ,and I want to save only the 8th row from the end )

thank you

@Alan-Kilborn Yes, you are right: I meant “drag copy”. Thank you very much for the info!

Not that the OP wants this, but, in addition to the macro approach, it can be done with a PythonScript that is tied to a shortcut keycombo.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from __future__ import print_function # refs: # https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/25408/keyboard-shortcut-to-select-current-line-to-complement-triple-click # for newbie info on PythonScripts, see https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/23039/faq-desk-how-to-install-and-run-a-script-in-pythonscript from Npp import * def select_line(line_number=None): if line_number is None: line_number = editor.lineFromPosition(editor.getCurrentPos()) p1 = editor.positionFromLine(line_number) p2 = editor.positionAfter(editor.getLineEndPosition(line_number)) editor.setSel(p1, p2) select_line()

Select text Drag the selected text to the position you want to drop Press Ctrl and release mouse button Done

The Columns++ approach is a good one, and if your file isn’t several megabytes or larger, I would just stick with that and ignore the rest of this post.

That said, you could get better performance on very large files using PythonScript, with the following script:

import re x = [0] def on_match(m): x[0] += 1 return m.group(1) + str(x[0]) editor.setText(re.sub('(abc_)1', on_match, editor.getText()))

Note that there’s a superficially similar script you could write with PythonScript that uses editor.rereplace instead of re.sub, but editor.rereplace will be much slower than re.sub for very large files.

@tebiodl ,

That is not currently an option, sorry. (You could put in a feature request, as described in our FAQ section, but I wouldn’t expect it to be changed)

(Are you the same person as @supsm, and just thought you could “speed up” an answer to this earlier question by asking again from a new account? Or did the dice just roll really weirdly today that two completely random users happened to have the same complaint today?)

@mkupper Thanks for magical settings “noColumnToMultiSelect.xml”.

@AndersWa said in Slow to open large files...:

N++ without Plugins is painfully slow editing large XML files.

Which is why Notepad++ has Settings > Preferences > Performance, where you can define a threshold to stop doing things like syntax highlighting if a file is large enough that it slows down your editing.
