    It’s great that your problem is solved, but if you’d provide more detail on the “special characters” in your macro that caused it to crash, we could think about it further, and maybe learn something we didn’t already know.

    shortcuts.xml can be edited with Notepad++ as long as you don’t use the Shortcut Mapper functionality to change a shortcut key assignment at the same time (during the same run) as you make other (manual) edits to the file. If you make manual edits AND also use the Shortcut Mapper to make a change during the same run, Notepad++ will (in order to update the key-combo change), write out a new complete copy of shortcuts.xml from what is currently in memory–which will not include any manual edits to the file.

    I would suggest you to double-check that you are selecting the proper file. Are you manually opening it from the File menu, or using any other method?

    Thanks.

    @Andrés-Zsögön

    In the Shortcut Mapper, highlight what you want to remove the assignment from.
    Press Modify.
    In the dropdown box the top entry is “None”; choose that.
    Press Apply
    Press OK

    Kinda clunky but it works (not saying the aren’t bugs at play here, just providing a workaround).

    unfastening the symbol from errand bar, reviving, and sticking once more, tackled the issue.

    Agreed - I never liked the fact that the tab bars would rearrange on their own when dragging a tab to another location and this is a minor price to pay to get that issue addressed. Thanks for the reply.

    “Expected” behaviour since a long time.

    One part of the code for the visual representation is here in a n++ specific scintilla lexer:
    https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/scintilla/lexers/LexSearchResult.cxx

    and the search itsself is done in somewhere in the n++ code itself and then transfered to the search result window. In this protocol as far as I remember there is just one marker start/end per line.

    @PikalaxALT ,

    Sorry, another set of questions: was the pinned shortcut in the “recently added” section of the START menu, or the more permanent “pinned” area on the right of the START menu, or in the alphabetized N > Notepad++ > Notepad++? If you look in those other sections of the START menu, are there shortcuts there – and were they the correct shortcut or the one with change.log included.

    The purpose of these questions is to try to figure out whether it’s just Windows 10 that’s auto-creating one shortcut with the change.log, but there’s the official installer-created shortcut (which would go in N > Notepad++ > Notepad++, IIRC) without the change.log, or whether the installer is incorrectly creating the “main” shortcut.

    @dail, I’m tagging you because it was your comment that helped point to a workaround-closure to issue #2896, and now every new user who adds an issue is pointed to that closed #2896. But if it’s the installer that’s creating the bad shortcut, I am hoping you can use your influence to re-open that issue. And even if it’s Win10 that’s creating an additional “pin” (probably in the “recently added” or “recently used” or “frequently used” section) that includes the change.log – it might be helpful to see if there’s a way during install to convince Win10 to auto-pin the correct version of the shortcut rather than the change.log shortcut. It seems rather inconvenient (dare I say “rude”) to ask every Win10 user NPP x64 user to manually fix auto-generated shortcuts when the evidence is pointing to it being either the installer directly, or Win10’s auto-pin behavior, that’s causing the “bad” shortcut, and not anything the user has control over.

    As a thought for fixing it if it’s a Win10 auto-pin issue: I am assuming it’s when the installer auto-opens NPP with change.log that’s creating the incorrect auto-pin. I’ve never written an installer, but could the installer be made to open a “raw” copy of NPP first, then send a message to NPP to additionally open change.log – that way, the instantiation-command wouldn’t include change.log, so the Win10 auto-pin won’t include it either. I don’t know if that would work, but it makes sense to me.

    @V-S-Rawat @Darío-Cristhian-Cabral It’s already fixed in yet-to-be-released 7.3.4. You can grab binaries here to test it.

    Looks like Settings > Style Configurator… is the way to do it. In the Global Styles box, change the Font name and/or Font size and tick all the ‘font’ related Enable boxes. I’ve tested this by printing to a PDF.

    You may also get some more lines printed without wrapping if you print portrait; File > Print … > [Printer] > Preferences > Layout > Orientation

    HTH!

    Regards, Mike
