  I took a look at the Defined Language Collection repository. Alas, apparently no one has added an entry for Julia. I’m not an experienced user of Julia, so I’d be a poor candidate to produce an entry for Julia. Surely some NotePad++ users must be using it for Julia code. What language are they specifying?

  Copying the userDefineLangs to %ProgramData% does not work. And installing the whole application to %ProgramData% is a really bad idea security wise and will be blocked by AppLocker anyway.

  @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.

  Had the same issue. Started about 2 weeks ago. Cause: Config file “DockingManager” BottomHeight is set to “0”. and should be “200” I tried updating it and restarting but the change would get reverted automatically. I Was able to get it working doing the following: Go to ~/Appdata/Roaming/Notepad++ 2, Rename the Config file to Config.old Restart Notepadd++ The Config file will be recreated an Search will start working. Hope this helps.

  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).

  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

  @Paul-Spark If you truly want the whole line highlighted, you can do a marking operation similar to what Peter shows, but do it in regular expression search mode and use a Find what field of: (?-s)^.*?(?=word1|word2|word3).*$ where word1, etc is your text of interest. There are some limitations: won’t save/restore with restarts of N++, new text added to the file after the marking operation won’t automagically get the highlighting…probably some other issues as well.

  There are cases where Project save wrong path: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/6184 @donho It would be worth exploring it because I can see that the more people noticed this :)

  When changing text layout to right to left with Ctrl+Alt+R, the left and right arrow keys are inverted and need to be fixed as that the left arrow should go left in the text and the right arrow should go right in text.

  @John-Smith-2 , This sounds like a feature request. This forum is for discussion. Our Feature Request FAQ explains where to go for actual feature requests.

  @Lyoid-Fussell said in XML Duplicates: Is there an easy way to search an xml file for duplicate entries? Hard to say without example data. However one method could be to work on a copy of the file as this would be a destructive test. First remove all lines of code except the one you want to test on, assuming it contains lines rather than just lots of code all bunched together.Sort the lines so duplicates are together. A regular expression could easily spot duplicates. Note this is just a high level description. To provide an actual process requires you provide actual example data. To insert examples, first insert them into the posting window, then highlight them and press the </> button above. This puts a black box around the examples preventing the website from potentially mangling the data. Terry

  Can't print with notepad++

  @Jack-shankle-0 , Further to what I said earlier: I just confirmed that Notepad++ and Windows Notepad both use the same dialog, both presenting the same printer options. If I pick the same printer on either and hit Print, it will work the same. Notepad++'s Settings > Preferences > Print has some options that will influence how the text is seen. The Preferences > Print section of the official Notepad++ User Manual describes those options. There is the possibility that you have a light (or white) foreground and dark background, with print options saying “no background colour”, which would then print light (or white) on paper (white), which would be invisible. So if you really are having problems based on colour, trying “Black on White” should give you the best indication of that.
