Hello,@SusiKette
Please try this code, To shortcuts.xml <Action> tag.

In Windows 7|8|10 C:\Users%username%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml

Code:

<NotepadPlus> <InternalCommands /> <Macros> <Macro name="Trim Trailing and save" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="83"> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42024" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="41006" lParam="0" sParam="" /> </Macro> <Macro name="abc" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0"> <Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="a" /> <Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="b" /> <Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="c" /> </Macro> </Macros> <UserDefinedCommands>....

I hope this code will be useful to you.
Thank you.

The style configuration depends on the lexer you are using.
So, to be able to give you some advice, may I ask you which lexer (aka language) you are using. HTML, Java, C# … ??

@Andreas-Neff

As a workaround, try printing to a PDF-file instead. This way you have a WYSIWYG level of control, printing the generated PDF should give you the output result you are looking for.

Thank you Alan
I didn’t ever used it because it is a “popup” that has to be closed every choices. And it has some bugs: did not refresh well if there are more windows than the area contains (if there is the scrollbar, the sort doesn’t refresh well). Except this, I will learn to use windows window more and more. Assigned to a shortcut. Thank you.

@apantzar said in SRS Document:

because I want to write SRS for a project that does not have one.

That’s not what you said in your first post. But if that’s really the case, good for you.

As I said, I don’t think such a document exists for Notepad++. Sorry

@Ruud-Schmeitz said in Selected text:

So I’ve decided to go for this option :
editor.setWhitespaceSize(1)
editor.setWhitespaceFore(1,( 64, 64, 64))
editor.setWhitespaceBack(1,(255,255,255))

I hope that makes me happy .
😀

Actually it did not !

Selecting the 8 lines of code results in :
code - selected 01.png

Because that’s not what I want , I deleted editor.setWhitespaceBack(1,(255,255,255)) in the startup.py file .

The remaining PythonScript commands :
editor.setWhitespaceSize(1)
editor.setWhitespaceFore(1,( 64, 64, 64))

make the selected lines of code look like :
code - selected 02.png

Now I’m happy .
😄

@Alan-Kilborn

Thanks Alan. I have created a new one. Thanks again.

@PeterJones yes , thank you , the replace should have been “$1”\r\n at least , or i should have taken the \R into brackets in the search string , and added it into “$1”$2 . but i missed the concept that the whole search string gets replaced , if i dont instruct a rebuilding in replace . oops , my mind wasnt working .
i am sorry @Aswin-Hadinata

@sj-bt

Just to save you from further disappointment, this forum is for discussion of how Npp can be used and whether there may be workarounds for known limitations. It is better to make a feature request as described here.

@guy038 said in How to find duplicate words in two files?:

Lexocographically Descending

Yes, dammit.
These type of typos are the death of me LATELY. :-(
I actually realized the typo while I was napping and came back to my PC to fix it, and found you already had.

@PeterJones said in Replace dialog problem:

“It works for me”. And I supply proof:

Back to the “In Selection” being greyed out inappropriately: in this newer topic, a sequence was found that didn’t behave as expected. So there may actually be independent confirmation of this bug – three regulars to the forum can make this sequence give the odd behavior (greyed out inappropriately) reliably now.

Hello,@Harry-Goldhagen
In Windows, the macros are saved at %AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.XML

Or

In Windows < 7 the macros are saved at C:\Documents and Settings%username%\Application Data\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml
In Windows 7|8|10 C:\Users%username%\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml
Note: You will need to close Notepad++ if you have any new macros you want to ‘export’.

I hope this information will be useful to you.
Thank you.

@Alan-Kilborn one work-around is to define in language that it is C code.

thanks for your help.

@Larry-Mars

Probably not, but perhaps be a bit more specific about which “sidebar menu” you are talking about?

@Terry-R Yes!! Thats is thanks mate

@Maxitrol-Mat said in Open files tabs - auto-sorted how?:

As you can see nothing has happened

Developers have their priorities.
They concentrate on bug fixes and new features that they feel will be useful to a majority of users.
If they have time, and they feel a request is a nice addition, if maybe not useful to many, they will implement it.

Your choices are to continue to whine…

It appears the choice has been made!

And really, you didn’t have to break this into ANOTHER thread; serves no purpose except to have any related comments be disjointed.

@pickmax-deals said in Notepad++ for mac is working or not:

can any one tell me the perfect working way?

VirtualBox + Windows + Notepad++ - The most stable way.
:) I believe that on Mac editors are inferior to Notepad ++
