I don’t save each tab in a separate file

DUMB…DUMB…DUMB…

@benevolent-deity said in Search/Replace with REGEX capturing groups:

How can I use the content of a Regex capturing group in my replacement string when doing a search and replace with Notepad++?

To use capture group 1, put \1 or $1 or ${1} in your replacement string. Similar for other numbered capture groups.

Try a black theme made from a white theme. The colors are softer than the original ones, the color contrast is not as strong.

@gittyup2018 said in Disable auto-updater?:

So I want to know how can I disable this check and/or what domain do you use to check if the version is compatible so I can block it from “phoning home” ?

Did you consider it might be in the online manual?
Start here and scroll down a couple of pages

Thank you, I think I have now configured that section,

@madtomt said in AutoComplete stopped working.:

Ahh… sorry I will make sure I read them in future.

In the grand scheme of things, ‘not reading the release notes’ is a pretty minor sin. You just happened to be the umpteen-millionth person to ask the same thing in the forum since the v8.2.1 release.

I did appreciate that you were willing to entertain the idea that you were “doing something wrong”, instead of just yelling at us for breaking Notepad++. So ++kudos for that. :-)

@tomas-b said in Style with highlighting stopped working with multiple word selection:

Was not aware about new menu with changed default behavior.

People seem to have trouble when behavior changes.
Immediately “it’s a bug”.

@gstavi Sure I be the web developer!

@gitrick00 said in Auto complete over multiple tabs:

Is it possible to expand the index of the autocomplete function over more than one tab?

Not natively as you’ve heard already. But there are ctags plugins that help with code navigation as well as providing autocomplete across a “project” of files. Have a look at NppGTags

Cheers.

I would like to see onlie doc https://npp-user-manual.org/doc but not working

That hasn’t been the documentation URL for years, and there shouldn’t be anything left that links to that. The ? links you to npp-user-manual.org, which is the official online user manual.

Can I ask you the same thing for force for all user not update

The manual doesn’t delve into the nitty gritty mapping of each preference to which attribute in the config.xml it refers to. The expectation when Don tasked me and others to implement the modern user manual was to make it focused on “normal” users – and “normal” users only want to use the GUI. For people who want to manually edit the config.xml instead of use the GUI, they are expected to experiment with the GUI, see how it influences the config.xml, and then make the changes.

As someone who is trying to deploy, I understand your need to get deeper into the details. But really, since you have to unpack the default installer to be able to get at the config files that you need to configure anyway, I would think it would be easiest to unpack, go into the GUI and make the settings the way you want, then go grab the GUI-edited config files.

But the update setting is controlled by

<GUIConfig name="noUpdate" intervalDays="15" nextUpdateDate="20220223">yes</GUIConfig>

Note that the value yes means “no update”, and no means “do the automatic update”. So what I’ve shown you will disable the automatic updater.

@alan-kilborn Thank you! I’ve succeeded. It works fine!
Great job!

@michael-vincent
Ok.

FEATURE trumps BUG !

@clyfton-in FYI I created a new issue for this problem, since I don’t use tabs (not enough screen space to display them!) and I’ve not seen a one-shot sort function used in a column header in any app before so I found the behaviour rather confusing until I stumbled upon your post which identified the issue (so thanks!).
