@rinku-singh it’s been long & i forgot for what exact reason I asked. Thanks, anyway.

@Bernard-Schleich-0

I currently use

https://github.com/Tatsu-syo/noMeiryoUI

in Windows > 7 removed settings to adjust fonts in Notepad++ and other programs . In Preferences, General -> Reduce may need to be unchecked for OS settings to be used.

Size of fonts changed should be modest as larger sizes may not fit in the area allocated in the GUI.

Microsoft appears to want users to use Scaling instead of the legacy of WindowMetrics.

@mkupper said in Question(s):

I verified that at least for my current setup that the zoom level seems to have no affect on the printed results.

Same here. Perhaps I was unclear.

If I leave the zoom at default and adjust the font size for Default Style to be large enough for me to read easily on my monitor, I would set a font size of 14 or 16 points with Liberation Mono. (14 is bit smaller than I like, 16 is too big, 15 isn’t an option.) Those are too large for printing, though.

If I set Default Style to 12 points, printing is reasonable. If I then zoom in 3 steps, I’m just about where I want to be to read easily on the screen — without affecting printing.

The question I was answering was, “Why not just change your default font size?” Because that does affect printing (and, though I hadn’t remembered until I tried just now, also isn’t as fine-grained as zoom).

@Farhan-Yazid said in How to highlight text?:

Hi, any shotcut button to assign the highlight funtion?

By default, the Style One Token / Style All Occurrences of Token commands do not have keyboard shortcuts.

But if you use Settings > Shortcut Mapper, set Filter = style, you can choose any of them and use Modify to set a keyboard shortcut for that token-highlight style.

(In case it’s not clear: Style all using Nth style in that dialog corresponds to Search > Style All Occurrences of Token > Using Nth Style [or the right-click context menu equivalent]; Style one using Nth style corresponds to Search > Style One Token > Using Nth Style [or the right-click context menu equivalent]. And for further clarification: the Search > Mark All that @Alan-Kilborn mentioned 6 years ago is the same as what’s now known as Search > Style All Occurrences of Token)

Yo sólo utilizo versiones portables, es decir, versiones que no necesitan ser instaladas, sino que simplemente se copian en un directorio.
Para instalar un paquete de instalación sin entrada, hay que pasar el parámetro /S a setup.exe. https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/command-prompt/#installer-options.

@PeterJones said in TranslateID (FolderName) in UserDefinedCommands (shortcuts.xml):

If you look again at the reference you linked, the TranslateID attribute is defined for the contextMenu.xml; however, the <Command> tags in the shortcuts.xml do not have that attribute listed as being available.

Thus, I do not believe what you are looking for is currently possible. Thus, I think you would have to follow the instructions in our FAQ to put in a feature request to ask the developer to add TranslateID to the shortcuts.xml <Command> tag.

Hello, @PeterJones.

I truly appreciate your quick response and such a clear explanation!

Indeed, upon rereading the documentation I referenced, I realized I misunderstood the use of the TranslateID attribute. It applies to contextMenu.xml, not shortcuts.xml, as I had mistakenly assumed. That was an oversight on my part, and I appreciate you pointing it out so objectively.

In my case, this was just curiosity based on that mistaken understanding. It’s not something essential for daily use of the application. I’m glad to have learned the actual scope of this functionality.

Thanks again for your kindness and clarification.

There is an issue about this:

Search function impracticality #10438

@Coises

As I read it, it seems that the OP wants their Preference to be updated if they use the Edit, Blank Operations, TAB to Space (or Space to TAB).

Of course, I too could be confused. The lack of detail does make the OP open to interpretation.

I’m with @PeterJones on this.

One is a “Preference”, the other a “one-shot function”. This function should not be making changes to a Preference. And at the moment it isn’t, which I believe to be the correct decision.

@Alan-Kilborn Hehe, “for in much wisdom is much grief”.

I see that a GitHub user @paulm31 is submitting a AutoHotKey_V2.udl.xml to the User Defined Languages Collection in PR #324 – I have to assume that’s related to this post, even if it’s not you, given the timing.

That PR is merged, and CollectionInterface shows the AutoHotKey_V2.udl entry for me.

@guy038 Excellent! Thanks for the lists…

By the way, after months of trying all sorts of tricks to successfully encode the ÿ character to Hex in a UTF-8 encoded page, I realized that I had to initiate a Windows-1252 page first. And then it successfully converted the PNG to Hex. lol.
The NUL bytes (\x00) were problematic as well because unless they get loaded into a raw binary state, they usually get converted to spaces (20) . So I get it now. ITS A TEXT EDITOR! … but at least Windows-1252 gives me a work-around for bytes 0x00–0xFF
And then of course there’s Base64 to save the day!

Lastly, I copy and paste a lot of binary content , so thanks for IDM_EDIT_COPY_BINARY 42048

@Alexander-Huckel ,

Sorry, I am not sure about the automatic translation of your question: do you mean auto-correction, where it fixes spelling? Or auto-completion, where it helps you type programming keywords or other terms already found in your document?

The latter is native to the app, described https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/auto-completion/ in the manual , and controlled by the settings described https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#auto-completion

Spelling correction is not implemented natively in Notepad++, but the DSpellCheck plugin is highly recommended for doing spell check and suggesting corrections.

@Sergio-Bonfiglio ,
Sorry, don’t have the time to research and provide an answer that is obvious after reading the documentation.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Insert sequential numbers at start of lines:

editor.replaceLine(line_nbr, '{n}) {c}'.format(n=chr(96+running_line_nbr), c=line_content))

Thank you! I had tried editing that line myself but I didn’t quite get it right. It’s all good now thanks to you 😁

@PeterJones
Thanks for your repply

@Hugo-Martinez-Jara said in Notepad++ cloud:

Hi,
Is there a Notepad++ cloud service?
I’d love to save notes, ideas, or logs in .txt from different devices.
No one, as far as I know, has this solution.
As long as the current Notepad++ UX (in my opinion, the best) is respected.
I’m willing to collaborate in any way, whether by contributing work or financially.
Of course, I don’t speak English.

Hugo,

Si tienes algo como Google Drive, puedes configurar tu propio sistema en la nube, y Notepad++ se adapta a eso, permitiéndote configurar una configuración en la nube que copiará tus archivos a esa unidad.

¿Para qué gastar dinero si no es necesario?

Si no es compatible con tu versión de Notepad++, simplemente lee y traduce el manual en línea para aprender cómo.

Hugo,

As long as you have something like GoogleDrive, you can setup your own cloud system, and Notepad++ accomodates that, by allowing you to setup a cloud setup, that will copy your files to that cloud drive.

Why create a cost for yourself if you don’t have to?

Just read and translate the online manual if it’s not native in your Notepad++ version to learn how.

@Estevao-Jordao ,

Did you really need to come 4 years later to give a URL to a random website when the problem is solved with Notepad++ and the JSToolNpp plugin mentioned then (or the JsonTools plugin which also exists now).

(your link was de-linkified, to avoid this forum becoming a honeypot for posting URLs to random sites unrelated to Notepad++)

“default style” is working fine for my purposes.

I will propagate these configuration changes to any other old installations I may have.

Thanks to all for the very effective help!

@Molly-Harris-0 Have you tried the Window Manager plug-in?
With the tab bar disabled and using the Window Manager, I think you will have something akin to what you are looking for.
