@MJKlodt747 said in h1's in function list for navigation:

How can I update it so that the function list displays with indentations, similar to a table of contents?

Get rid of the \K in the mainExpr=..., and the Function List display will show any prefixed spaces (after you save, exit Notepad++, and re-run Notepad++, obviously).

@PeterJones ,
I have this love/hate thing when using auto correct systems (Android for example) versus autocompletion and it types a completely different word than I intended because fat fingers hit the wrong key on the mini screen keypad. :-(

I’ve experienced something similar - Notepad++ will begin to occasionally corrupt files when I try to save them to a network drive. I can tell when it’s going to happen because it will not respond “not responding” for about 5-10 seconds, then display that error message. And it corrupts the file!!! When I’m heavily coding, this happens constantly. I have to make back-up copies constantly since it WILL corrupt the files! Extremely frustrating. This has only started being a problem within the past 2 ? updates.

@Alan-Kilborn nice one, yes, it can be done just to read, and to have the line number of the original file. I guess, it is the only way, but not a very convenient one, because links are lost, and it becomes absolutly manual… Thank you for answering!!!

@Vitalii-Dovgan ,

PR 16928 will remove that forced fontSize, and fix other fontSize consistency problems in the model and themes.

@Walter-Cook said in Using Notepad++ Together with ChatGPT for a Faster Workflow:

Is there a preferred “Language” to use before pasting into Notepad++?

If the Generative AI nonsense is pretending to be C++, then use Language > C > C++; if it’s pretending to be Python, then use Language > P > Python; if it’s pretending to be markdown, use Language > Markdown (preinstalled). If it’s pretending to be plain text, use Language > None (Normal Text)

Remember, Generative AI is not thinking, and is not actually generating anything with meaning. It is just picking a long list of likely “next token” (effectively, “next word”, but not technically) based on the prompt and what it’s generated so far.

Copying from ChatGPT or any of the AI’s interfaces seems to be pretty messy!

Then find a better UI? There are various frontends to those “tools” which can help. (I know that Google’s AI Studio interface, for example, has a button to allow copying the underlying Markdown that their LLM produces, so something like that might be better formatted than the rendered stuff directly from the browser.)

Admin Note: as @Alan-Kilborn said, this conversation really shouldn’t be under the “Help Wanted” category, so I am moving it to the “General Discussion”

@Walter-Cook

If you have a few favorites of the “Line Operations”, you could add them individually using the “Customize Toolbar” plugin.

@rdipardo

That’s what I thought too, I was just surprised that the port didn’t have it, hence the question.

There’s a hard-coded limit of 100 characters for property names; the property inside “hello3” has 101. It’s a known issue.

I’m very certain that I’ve attempted, unsuccessfully, to paste multi-line text into FIND/REPLACE/MARK etc. string input zones many times, going back 10 years or more, though I always assumed that any line ending sequence was disallowed (I pretty much always use CRLF, myself). Of course, at least with the appropriate setting (I forget specifically, but think offhand that there is a setting for it), if you have text selected before you open the FIND/REPLACE/MARK dialog, that text then populates the FIND WHAT field, line endings and all. I just wish I could see them when they’re in there.

@PeterJones Thanks! 🙂

@PeterJones Thank you. As far as I can see, the function has not been removed. Before concluding this, I downloaded the versions one by one and checked the settings to see if it was still there. I was only able to find an option under “Default Directory.” My issue is now resolved. Thank you.

@PeterKee said in Undo/Redo (CTRL+Z/CTRL+Y) behaves unexpectedly after a few hours (NppFTP, NPP 64-bit, Win11):

Has anyone else experienced this?

Sounds similar as the infamous GitHub issue #9426.

This never happened with the 32-bit version,

Oldest report there is for Notepad++ v7.9 (32-bit), so some users had it even for the 32-bit N++.

I fixed one such problem but users still report occasionally occurrences of it, so it’s clear that there should be more code to fix. Unfortunately, so far I could not reproduce (so cannot fix it…) and the users have not been able to describe 100% reproducible steps. So if you find such a STR, it will be great.

@PeterJones said in Applying Diff patches?:

I commented on that Issue to request that apply patch be considered alongside create patch.

as mentioned here, as of ComparePlus v2.0.0, the plugin can generate and apply standard patch files; see also the release notes. Thanks to @pnedev for the update.

(Until it makes it into the Plugins Admin, the new version can be manually installed from the zipfiles found on the v2.0.0 release page)

@Coises Thanks, it was the smart highlighting. Problem solved.

To expand on the explanation, for a small number of lines, put the caret in column 1 of line 1. Press Shift+Alt+DownArrow multiple times, enough so that a “skinny but tall caret” appears before the column 1 data in all lines, to wit:

Then press Space two times, to obtain:

ConfigUpdater Plugin v2.2.1

ConfigUpdater Plugin has released v2.2.1, available thru GitHub release page, with bugfix improvements, mostly to Validation Dialog:

Error handling for null handle ⇒ to prevent potential crashes Disable logfile Monitoring Mode ⇒ it triggers callbacks for many file-changed events, which can bog down setups that use plugins/scripts that add many callbacks Fix progress bar on ConfigUpdater dialog ⇒ makes more-visible progress as each file is processed ValidationDialog: say Line#123 instead of #123 in the Validation dialog error list ⇒ Makes it more clear to the user that the number is the line number, not just some internal tracking number ValidationDialog: Rename Done -> Close ValidationDialog: Rename Go to Model -> Open/Align Model in Other View ValidationDialog: Disabled Validate button when no file selected ValidationDialog: Add ephemeral “Please select a file to validate” choice as initially-selected “file” for validation, which will go away once you’ve made a choice ValidationDialog: Open/Align Model now allows opening the model even when there are no validation errors (or when you haven’t even validated yet) it was previously not allowed because the vector it was looking at to find which line number in model-file was 0-length if there were no errors (or no validation done yet); I was able to update the logic to choose line 0 if there was no selection or no validation errors Update langs.xsd to check for duplicate <Keyword name="xyz"> entries NOTE: if you want this feature, you have to delete the old ...\plugins\config\ConfigUpdater\langs.xsd before launching the ConfigUpdater or ValidateConfigFiles dialogs (only need to delete the file once; after it is regenerated, the new error checking will be available in the future) Only allow one Validator dialog ⇒ It could cause problems if more than one dialog were trying to validate at the same time, and there is no compelling reason for allowing multiple instances of that dialog

Well, I submitted a feature request. It is here:

Any feedback or suggested edits or improvements would be greatly appreciated!
