P.S. but with the cpp.xml using in C source, function defines like BOOL WINAPI CtrlHandler(DWORD CtrlType) are not show :(

@Birger-Sørensen ,

Can one of you that’s having difficulty with saving files see if the problem persists when using v8.1.2-RC?

Thank you for this information Peter!

@Rodrigo-Hernandez-0 said in Edit file but keeping modified date:

I usually view files as historical records of my notes, meetings, etc.

I could only suggest sorting by “modified time” or adding a date to the file name.
That would be much easier, as for me.

Great! This is good for me.
Thank you.

Well, there are lots of approaches to debugging.
If it were me, I might start by commenting out (use # before the line to eliminate) that closes a file.
That way you can see that the proper files are getting opened (because they will remain open when the script finishes).

Now I understand, thx for the clarification.
Yes, agree, I would say when you press a key combination to activate a tab, it should be activated AND visible, no matter if it is already active.

@mere-human said in How to get file paths from all open tabs:

I have another idea. We could make the text from Window > Windows copyable.
It already supports multi-select. The only thing missing is Ctrl+C and put a list of of file paths to clipboard.

Or how about making it even more explicit and having an additional button in the UI: Copy Pathnames. It could operate on all if nothing is selected, or only what is selected.

The Ctrl+c idea as the only way of doing it is fine, but someone will come along and want just the “name” part of the files to be copied. Thus I’d suggest a dedicated UI element for paths and second UI button Copy Names.

@Verdadeiro-Perene said in Search is not working anymore for Notepad++:

Even if I search for this it will not find, so no results.

Very doubtful there is an issue with the search function, as no-one else has questioned it. It’s most likely you have an issue with your setup. When using the search function, do you already have some text highlighted. If so then the search may keep within that area (is the “in selection” box ticked?). If that’s not the problem then please advise the version of your Notepad++ installation by supplying the info available under ? main menu, then Debug Info, followed by clicking on the blue text (copy … into clipboard). Then paste that in your next post here.

@Terry-R
That’s great and I did not notice it at once.

Thank you very much.

I’m curious. Why do you (@v-s-rawat) think this is a Notepad++ issue? I think of it as a combination of the user and the OS issue. It’s the operating system’s responsibility to deal with the changes in peripherals and the users job to inform the OS (if needed) that the device most related to desktop size (the monitor’s HxV resolution) has been changed.

You may need to inform the OS that the screen resolution has changed (it most certainly doesn’t care how physically big the screen is). After that you may also need to resize the window of any application you used under the old resolution settings.

@PeterJones Thanks for all your assistance, man. I was NOT using global overrides for foreground and background color on the original installation but something caused everything the language styling not to work.

However, I did remember this incorrectly when I used the standalone install and mistakenly turned those both on.

On the standalone installation, when I turned these two options off (even with my original customized stylers.xml file) the language syntax highlighting works again.

As a test, I opened my old install again and it doesn’t have the global foreground and background on, yet the syntax highlighting still does not function.

So while the original VDI shared install still does not work, you have given me a solution that does work. Thank you for your help!!

@Sergey-Titkov

I’m not sure you or any of the previous posters have answered the question posed by the OP.
But, since the OP hasn’t returned to post and clarify, we don’t know (and it doesn’t matter since OP was the one asking for help).

Can’t edit, so reply.

OK, I found it, it is not under Settings > Style Configurator, but under Settings > Preferences > Dark Mode.
Finally Notepad++ got it!

There’s some nice stuff on how to do that HERE.

@Helix751 ,

Couldn’t find a more suitable section to request a syntax highlighting for .ovpn files

This forum is for discussion, not for feature requests. If you explore the Forum, you will easily find the FAQ section of this Forum, which has an entry called “FAQ Desk: Feature Request or Bug Report”: that FAQ entry tells you how to make a Feature Request.

That said, Notepad++'s built-in syntax highlighting (like the C++, HTML, Python, etc) are inherited from the Scintilla project (Notepad++ uses some Scintilla IP under the hood); Scintilla long ago stopped adding new built-in syntax highlighters, so Notepad++ hasn’t added new built-in highlighters in quite some time.

At this point, the Notepad++ developers encourage users to make use of one of two existing features of Notepad++ to get more syntax highlighting:

Notepad++ comes bundled with the User Defined Language (UDL) system, where you can define your own simple keywords and comment syntax for syntax highlighting, code-folding, and the like. This is the most-commonly used feature for defining your own syntax highlighting Notepad++ has the capability to accept plugins, and it’s possible to develop a lexer / syntax highlighter plugin – fewer have made use of this, but you can see at least one in the Plugins Admin called “GEDCOM Lexer”

My guess, since it’s a config-file syntax, is that UDL will serve your needs. It’s not really that hard to get started writing your own UDL.

@David-Mc said in User Defined Language Different Number Styles:

is there a way to say close a delimiter on the last number digit before another character type?

Not that I know of.

@Frank-Helk

While you can’t restrict line-length, you can set something up to get a visual indication for problem lines; an example setup:

43a97056-b81c-4011-975c-c1cd8083b954-image.png

Produces a look like this:

8830f27d-bf23-411f-9481-8c9db3c10d5a-image.png

which clearly identifies long lines in cyan color. The color can of course be changed to whatever you like.

If you’d like something that will explicitly inform you of long lines, I can assist you in writing a script to do so. Post back if you’d like to try this approach. Here’s an existing script that might help: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/35567
