    I would install xml tools plugin and use pretty print (formatting).

    The number of style is hard coded in scintilla. So we can’t modify it. Sorry.

    To be honest, I was unaware of it as well until I saw this post and went to read tail’s man page to see if it can support it.
    My point is that however this feature is implemented we don’t want it to do active polling.
    When the file is present I hope that there is a way for a thread to block on it until it is modified.
    When there is no file we need a mechanism to find out that it was created.

    Nothing builtin.
    I think you need to have a copy of your original files or use tools like svn, git etc… and do a compare afterwards.

    I totally agree about the first two items on your list - particularly the second one.

    Every time I need to search backwards, or perform a case sensitive search (etc), I have to remind myself to turn the switch off again before I perform an unrelated search and get the wrong result! When I am searching for a string, my mind is on the subject matter - not on the quirks of the search box.

    Probably the simplest answer would be to add a few extra search buttons with no history - ‘Search forwards’, ‘Search backwards’, ‘Search for whole word’ etc. However anyone who really wants to configure the search box with different defaults, should have to take some special action.

    I also wish the search box would echo any shortcut keys it does not explicitly use back to the active window. As it is, when the search box has focus, the shortcuts do not work.

    It is a shame the search box is as it is, because otherwise it is so powerful.

    by unchecking the new style save dialog you get the default extension
    for the language in question.

    @Gillian-Wallace

    could it be that you saved the file as UTF-8 with BOM?
    This could explain the additional chars at the beginning.

    maybe this was used in the past but current lexer defines

    } else if (state == SCE_LISP_MULTI_COMMENT) { if (ch == '|' && chNext == '#') { i++; chNext = styler.SafeGetCharAt(i + 1); styler.ColourTo(i, state); state = SCE_LISP_DEFAULT; }

    @Gilberto-SC

    you can use procmon in order to find out which dll gets loaded, from where and when.
    Run procmon, define a filter for npp and then start npp.
    It needs a bit of training but if you are really interested in finding out what does what
    check out the sysinternals tools as well as everything Mark Russinovich has posted/blogged.

    Once you are at the level to understand how process, threads, libraries, drivers … work together
    download hxd and start investigating memory.

    Other useful tools can be found at nirsoft.

    @Alex-Woolf,

    As @Claudia-Frank said, “Same applies to UDL”, and she said earlier that the custom syntax highlighting settings, which are known UDLs (User Defined Languages: Language > Define Your Language) are stored in userDefineLang.xml. You could either copy that single file to the new PC, or you could use the UDL window’s interface:

    Original PC: Language > Define Your Language Use the pulldown to select the User Language: ____ you want to transfer, and click the Export... button Copy that file on the new PC New PC: Language > Define Your Language: click the Import... button, and select that file Repeat for every UDL (syntax highlighting definition) that you want to transfer.

    If you’ve got more than one, it’s probably simplest to just copy the whole file, but if you only have one, or you don’t want to duplicate them all, you can do it using the UDL window.

    BTW: Since it wasn’t mentioned, those files are by default in %AppData%\Notepad++\, though if you’ve got a portable version of NPP, or if you chose to not use %AppData% when installing, they will be in the same folder as your notepad++.exe.

    @mkupper: Thanks for taking the time to write up this guide. It seems to cover all my requirements and then some. I am definitely going to give that a go.

    As for Alt-F4, I dislike having to kill a program to make it do what I want, but I should get over that here.

    Too bad sessions don’t have assigned file extensions. It would be easier to just double click on a session and having NPP open all the files for you.

    But, the title of this thread has “feature request?” in it. Maybe a workflow like yours will make it to a plugin or an extension to NPP. That would be very nice!

    @Scott-Sumner is correct and mapping alt-backspace to a different function prevents the BEEP. Probably NPP capture it and fully handle it before it reaches the BEEPING control.

    I got curious enough to actually open the code. This exist in NPP shortcut table:
    {TEXT("SCI_UNDO"), SCI_UNDO, true, false, false, VK_Z, IDM_EDIT_UNDO},
    {TEXT(""), SCI_UNDO, false, true, false, VK_BACK, 0},

    Initially I thought that maybe NPP is at fault after all because ctrl-z has IDM_EDIT_UNDO which is missing from alt-backspace.
    But after commenting out the alt-backspace line and compiling I had a version of NPP where alt-backspace no longer UNDO but still BEEPS.
    Since ALT-xxx shortcuts are often associated with menus I guess that this is the beeping component.
