    You could likely script it to run on N++ startup with a scripting plugin, or perhaps NppExec…

    I don’t see the nesting in your examples

    Seriously?

    "did you hear, John asked 'why did you say "the end is nigh"?'"

    Seems pretty clear to me the the end is nigh 's quoting is nested inside the quoting of the whole thing.

    The rest of your posting doesn’t make much sense to me either; guess I just don’t “get it”.

    Since I have NEVER in almost 30 years of computing used a 3-button mouse (or a touchpad with that)…do you have to be pointing at the tab to close it, or will it close if your mouse cursor is anywhere within the editing area of a tab’s window?

    I believe I had one at one point, but could be wrong. I currently have a two-button-plus-scroll-wheel, and the wheel is clickable. If I middle-click (ie, click the scroll wheel) in the main editor, nothing happens, so that’s good. If I middle click anywhere on that file’s tab in the tabbar, it will close that tab – it does, however, ask me to save any changes first, and I can cancel at that point; if the file was already saved, then it will close without a prompt, so I can confirm similar behavior to the OP.

    If @Brian-Bowers has a saved file that accidentally gets closed, he can re-open it quite quickly using File > Restore Recent Closed File (which either has a keyboard shortcut, or can be assigned one in the Shortcut Mapper)

    I think N++ offers a decently-sized choice of plugins, but as I’m not familiar with vim, maybe I’m miscalibrated. :-~

    If I am not mistaken, then all settings are stored in the config.xml file which is located in the Notepad++ directory.

    To rename multiple files, use this command syntax and press Enter:

    ren .ext1 ???-new_filename_part.

    Command syntax example:

    ren .jpg ???-hikingTrip.

    …zoom…

    But if it is really a factor for you, you could put it in a zoom-notify :

    try: zoom_notify_installed except NameError: def callback_sci_ZOOM(_): editor.setMarginWidthN(0, editor.textWidth(33, "12345678")) editor.callback(callback_sci_ZOOM, [SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.ZOOM]) zoom_notify_installed = True editor.setMarginWidthN(0, editor.textWidth(33, "12345678"))

    (for Pythonscript; I don’t know the Luascript way of doing that)

    Do you have the Notepad++ view narrow?

    I ran a quick experiment: yes, if you shrink the window width too far, you can cut off part of the “lines: ####” display.

    That’s likely the OP’s problem
