@Mester-Perfect said in ERROR Notepad++:

I use a nvda screen reader

I see that nvda appears to be free. Also, there appears to be an addon for NVDA to make Notepad++ more accessible; are you using that addon? If so, does the error go away if you disable that addon? If not, does using that addon make the error go away?

Given that it’s free, maybe someone will be able to try experiments with it. (I cannot on my work machine, sorry.)

Well, I found out where the error was
This error is caused by an nvda add-on that makes it easy to use Notepad ++ with an nvda screen reader
Because I can only take advantage of the auto-complete feature by using this add-on
Because the suggested word list shown by the code auto-complete feature is not accessible
When I disabled the add-on, the error disappeared

@Matthias-Steiner

Delimiter work best if they are defined with start/end tags.
If other parts are within a delimiter try playing with nesting (available via styler button) to see if this solves your issues.

@Daniel-Gonçalves-Jr ,

Please note that this forum is a forum of users of Notepad++. Feature requests are not effective here; but we have a FAQ explaining where and how to make feature requests.

I am not 100% sure what you mean by “screen activation functionality”.

From a general “dark mode” sense: Please note that there have been multiple requests for a truer “dark mode”, both here and in the correct issues tracker mentioned in the FAQ, with nothing happening on it. A likely reason is that the codebase was created when “dark mode” wasn’t such a thing, so the right hooks weren’t made in the code to make it easy to implement; at this point, it’s probably a huge effort, and the developers have not prioritized such an extreme effort.

However, if you search other recent “dark mode” threads, you will see that there are Windows settings that can be changed which will influence the color of the UI portions of Notepad++, which may or may not give you what you want.

It seems they finally added this option in settings! Nice!!!

@Anderwriter said in Parentheses/brackets/braces turn bold on current line? Intentional?:

How to obtain this “debug info” you’re referring to

Nine days ago @ArkadiuszMichalski told you how to do this:

(select in Menu bar ? >> Debug Info…).

Isn’t NPP designed to run on current monitors?

Not particularly.
Notepad++ is a very old codebase.
High DPI support is one of its weaknesses because it is difficult to adapt a legacy application to it.
Not impossible, it just takes a lot of effort.
And since Notepad++ is supported purely by donated time and basically zero funding, it hasn’t been able to keep pace with certain things (fancy Windows theming is another).

[because settng the Default Style is usually sufficient for defining the normal plaintext color.]
Thanks

Bug exist, you don’t need open new.

The mistake I made was copying just the icon to the desktop for ease of use. Wrong thing to do.
I am running it from the original folder where it was installed and it is fine now. File Associations were set up correctly. This issue can be closed.

@2zesky said in Bug with autodetecting codepage:

But autodetect still need to fix

Autodetect is a bit of a guessing game.
It isn’t likely to get “fixed”.

@Michel-Dessaintes ,

printing double sided

Notepad++ (and most other apps) have no notion of “double sided”; that’s a feature of your specific printer driver. Most likely, your solution will be found in printer-specific settings, rather than in Notepad++ itself.

Thanks to all three of you. I understand the reasoning now.

@woodrow-smith said in Default Directory Issue:

Notepad++ > Settings > Preferences > Default Directory > Follow Current Document

I’ve always found this choice to be the most reliable and (thus luckily) the one that makes the most sense to want to use.

Maybe there is a “disconnect” about how you think this is supposed to work? Maybe walk us through an example? Otherwise, I think it is working fine for the vast majority of users, so I don’t think there’s anything else anyone can do to help.

Hello,@guy038
Follow this steps,To Sorting with a “column mode” selection

Step 1:- Line Up Columns using the TextFX Plugin

Step 1 :- Select the pipe (|) character that separates the “columns” and copy it to the clipboard:
Step 2 :- Select all the text and use Line up multiple lines by (Clipboard Character):
Step 3 :- We have now lined up the text using the pipe (|) character to make it look like a table with columns

Step 2:- Move and Sort Columns

Step 4:- Use Alt+Mouse Dragging or Alt+Shift+Arrows to select the “colums” you want to move.

Step 5:- Drag the columns to the start of the first line. You can also Cut (CTRL+X) the selected columns, move the caret to the start of the first line, then Paste (CTRL+V) the columns there.

Step 6:- Select all the text and use Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending:

Step 7:- We have now sorted the text alphabetically by the first “columns”:

I hope this information will be usefull for you.
Thank you.

@Pierre-de-la-Verre said in 7.8.8 does not show the update to 7.8.9:

bug or feature?

feature, and also a FAQ

There’s a delay in time before that gets turned on.
This is to prevent mass early adoption in case a huge flaw is discovered in a new release.
This has been somewhat mitigated by the “release candidate” approach that has been taken lately, but I suspect only a very small fraction of even those that follow Notepad++ closely even try the “RC”.

@Tony-Guy-Parker In settings for this plugin you can check:

[]Persist clipboard list across sessions

and all clipboard will be save to NPP\plugins\Config\MultiClipboardSession.dat. You can manually copy/restore this file if necessary (by hand or other tools).

@Hans-v-Buitenen Bug for this https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/7931.

You should try this plugin https://github.com/funap/npp-explorer-plugin, it has some alert for such case:

Hi, you can restore the deleted word files for the backup folder, but if the files not there then try a free utility program like recuva, stellar data recovery free edition, tesdisk. These utility programs are able to recover deleted files efficiently. Thanks
