The regex you provided works great. Many thanks for your assistance. ChEEr!!!

Best Regards

Thanks for the lucid explanation, Guy!

In case anyone is interested, we’re using this in a project to add embedded audio players to the pages at the Web site here.

The regular expression helps us find the pages which still need to be updated.

@Leandro-Casal said in Show document list panel option missing:

Well, that info didnt help at all

Hmm, well it has clearly helped @Peter-Brawley and everyone else who has happened to read this thread for over a year.

Maybe @PeterJones 's answer was TL;DR for some limited set of folks and a picture illustrates better:

oh yes, work great.

thank you so much

@Reo-Chatwin ,

The macro recorder will store the actions you take when recording the macro: since you recorded hitting Paste (or equivalently the action Edit > Paste), that is the action that will be recorded. If you want the macro to type text, then you will have to type the text instead of pasting it… then the macro will type the exact text that you typed.

If you’ve got a lot of text to type for the macro: instead of recording that long text, just type an indicator. Then save the macro, exit Notepad++, and reload Notepad++. Edit the shortcuts.xml in your AppData Notepad++ and put in the longer string(s) into the places held by the placeholder (the macro will record one typed character per action, but you can actually put longer strings there). Save shortcuts.xml and restart Notepad++, and now your macro will have the longer string rather than the shorter.

?1$2\x20$1

Your superb effort is much appreciated. Many thanks.

Complete user customization capability (like the editor window right-click context menu) is underway; see issue 12170.

@Esmee-Lohgynn said in Find & Replace, except the one selected:

I didn’t realize I had “match case” and “match whole word” selected

Match case wouldn’t matter here. Match whole word only would matter; from the user manual:

If the left and right characters of your search string are both non-word characters (so not letters, numbers, underscore, and optionally additional characters set by your preferences), then the text to the left and right of your match must be word characters, spaces, and/or beginning or ending of the line.

So, even though the OP was very light on detail, this behavior was what he was a victim of.

Note also that the OP’s problem would have been solved MUCH quicker if he had provided sufficient level of detail, not just complaining that it doesn’t work and that “I have literally been doing this for years, I don’t need instructions on how to do it.”

@Alan-Kilborn Thank you.

And yet one more…

Also on the right-click context menu of all tabs:

@Alan-Kilborn said in W11 toolbar buttons and some dialog text is really small:

The icons maybe make a lot more sense in a dark mode themed Notepad++

Yes I can see that they would. But I love knowing that I can create my own custom ‘default’ icons.

@PeterJones ,
Yes, clever approach, thanks!
Unfortunately it’s impossible to set Light mode through Dark mode :-)
Now I know that #99B4D1 is ActiveCaption system color in some themes since Windows Vista.

Thanks for the tip William Algie :
I also went to the plugins - Plugins-Admin, and looked at the Updates Tab, and ColumnTools 1.4.4.1 was avalable, so I updated it, and now the problem seems to be solved.

@PeterJones said in Feature Request: Pin frequent searches:

In fact, you already had one of the previous official issue requests.

Thus making this thread entirely a waste of everyone’s time.
