@Scott-Sumner said: @Mikhail-V said: …read the current keyboard layout. This will require some WinAPI calls to the system. Probably it is possible, but I don’t know how to do it from Pythonscript. For purely educational purposes, here’s a way: import ctypes buff = ctypes.create_unicode_buffer(1024) ctypes.windll.user32.GetKeyboardLayoutNameW(buff) console.write(buff.value) This sort of works, but on windows 10 there is same issue as with AHK - it detects the layout only once when the application starts, but when I switch the layout and repeat the script - it returns same code value regardless of current layout.

@Wynford-Junior-Thomas My font size has changed somehow Just theorizing on what might have happened: Perhaps you had the Ctrl key held down (accidentally) while you scrolled the mouse wheel? In case you didn’t know, this changes the “zoom” level that @Claudia-Frank mentioned…

@George-Elam Settings->StyleConfigurator->Global Styles->Inactive tabs->change foreground color Cheers Claudia

@Pierre-Panissod do you have additional infos like where those files are stored, which npp version do you use (debug-info from ? menu)? Does it mean that two html files, saved in the same directory, behave different when on contains the line you mentioned but identical otherwise? Cheers Claudia

@Robert-Hays Sure? Because the reason why it isn’t working is the elevation level Microsoft introduced some time ago. If you run your npp as administrator but the explorer process runs as normal or different user then it shouldn’t work - in both versions. If both explorer and npp run under on the same level, e.g. both started as administrator, then it should work -> 32 as well as on 64 bit Cheers Claudia

I adhere to the safety criterion: Do not press what you do not know. Before you press make a copy (always) Allow yourself to test for things that do not have value

@scottsealanddesign said: a way to dismiss it would be helpful Have you tried pressing Esc in this situation? +1 for being a “scott” :-D

Thank you! That provides the needed functionality.

@Fred-Mah it is set within Settings->Preferences->Auto-Completion Cheers Claudia

That fixed it, thanks!!

@Pavel-Levdik personally I would post a feature request here and a more detailed description about how it actually should work. If I had to think about the request and have already some questions in mind, like should it preserve on npp shutdown, configurable in number, based on access time or how often a file has been opened …, I probably would not spent time coding it if I don’t think it is useful to me too. Can’t say for sure that this helps to get it implemented but certainly can’t hurt. Cheers Claudia

@Daniel-Crichton if I understand correctly then you do have set a global font, if this is the case, then yes, it is expected behavior as this is what the setting should do. Cheers Claudia

Have you tried the document switcher (Strg+Tab), similar to windows switching applications.

@Juan-Jose-Vazquez-Perez Maybe https://sourceforge.net/projects/analyseplugin/ is the right thing for your needs for log file analysis.

@Murray-Sobol it has been reported that if the file is big and automatic backup is used that it might happen that you see random carriage returns every now and then. Maybe that is what happened to you as well. Cheers Claudia

The NppMenuSearch plugin was indeed the culprit. Once uninstalled the problem went away. I’ll keep an eye out just in case but the matter seems resolved. Thank you for the quick replies.

@Stanislav-Mihálik which version are you using, as Notepad++ v7.5.1 doesn’t seem to have this issue. In addition, could it be that you use a customized (translated) language and someone has incorrectly translated the words? Cheers Claudia
