  @Adnan-Arshad said, Wine was working with the previous version of MacOS. Since it updated to Catalina, it Wine is not supported anymore. According to this stackexchange question/answers, you can get Wine to compile 64bit for Catalina. Since Notepad++ comes in a 64bit version, you should be golden. Hopefully that works for you. If it doesn’t, you said, I couldn’t find any single code editor for macbook where I can do same https://www.google.com/search?q=mac+os+text+editor+syntax+highlighting doesn’t find any that actually do syntax highlighting? The first page of results looks promising to me, but I am not a MacOS user, so I don’t know.

  @Makwana-Prahlad said, The font tag was … I hope this information will be usefull for you. What in the world does that have to do with Notepad++ or @Jerome-Red’s question? Jerome was asking, when using Notepad++ syntax highlighter for HTML, why the contents of the style tag in the HTML file he was editing were not syntax-highlighted as CSS. It had nothing to do with how to change the font or color of the rendered HTML, which would be an HTML/CSS question and asked in a different forum.

  Semi-related info: Part of this current thread is about how to copy text that one has marked via Marking that requires use of a PythonScript. In a POST in another thread, I provide a script that will select text given conditions specified by user input. That selected text can then be copied. Similar results thru some different methods; enough to warrant a cross-link, I guess.

  @Alan-Kilborn To be honest I do those changes via Notepad++, but when I have to guide another user I prefer to play it safe.

  @Tayou said in It's time for UI update!: and for devs to get some idea for what to do. Perhaps the devs already know where they want to focus their efforts for their product, and don’t need big thinkers. Probably what would help is big doers. but I have other more important things to do as of now. Well, good thing you could stop by for a few minutes to lay out some future design work for Notepad++. This post is made in jest, but there is some truth in it as well.

  Thank you for the explanation - I do get it now, while Alt-Shift to select text, it works exactly as I expect it would. I just didn’t understand that’s what I needed to do. This will help with adding file exclusions in FSRM. Thank you!

  @overstop said in Mindmap like system in Np++ |feature request|: Maybe for Np++ v8. No, if anything, this is the best example I’ve ever heard that is crying out to be embedded in a plugin.

  @J-N npp has a callback FILEBEFORELOAD maybe this can/should be used by npp internally in order to clear any new update notification received at this point. Do you by any chance use PythonScript plugin??

  Technically every application can be embedded in another application as long as this other application supports embedding a window. Legally allowed? I don’t know.

  @Johannes-Lorenz , Sorry, I’m not quite sure what you’re asking. If you have One Drive or Google Drive installed and running on your computer, then you can use Notepad++ to edit the file in whatever directory the cloud software puts your files. If you’re saying that you want to edit a file from One Drive or Google Drive when you aren’t running the cloud application on your computer, then you have to have some way of downloading from the cloud service, putting the file on your local drive, and saving it back to the cloud service; without that, you cannot reasonably expect to use any text editing software that resides on your computer to be able to edit the file. I’ll get only some HTML-Code I’m really not sure what you mean by that. My guess is that you’ve looked at the cloud file through your web browser in some mode that wraps the file in HTML, and tried to do a “view source” or similar action. I think in such cases, the cloud service web interfaces generally have a “download” button or “view raw text” button. From there, you could save the file to your local computer, edit it with Notepad++, then use the web-based interface to upload the new copy back to the cloud.

  @Alan-Kilborn said in Search and filter IP address results: Preferences -> Editing Good catch, thank you. Concerning the further instructions plea, I know you were kidding, but that’s what I get for not knowing how to shut up my big mouth in time, ha ha. We’ll see, if there’s interest, it’s a simple thing to accomplish.

  @Vincent-Duvernet said in MIB file (SNMP) syntax highlighting [User Defined Language]: wonderful :) I was looking for MIB/SNMP compatibility today :) You may also want it in the function list. I’ve added in my $(NPP_INSTALL_DIR)/functionList.xml file: <association id="asn1_syntax" langID="65" /> […] then down in the parsers section: <!-- ============== [ ASN.1 ] --> <parser displayName="ASN.1" id ="asn1_syntax" commentExpr="(?x) (?m-s:\-\-.*$) # Single Line Comment " > <classRange mainExpr="(?:^\s*\w+\s+::=\s+[\w-]+\s*)"> <className> <nameExpr expr="(?:\s*)\K[\w]+"/> </className> <function mainExpr="(?:^\s*\w+\s+)"> <functionName> <funcNameExpr expr="(?:\s*)\K[\w]+"/> </functionName> </function> </classRange> <function mainExpr="(?:^\s*\w+\s+OBJECT-\w+[\n\s]*)"> <functionName> <nameExpr expr="(?:\s*)\K[\w]+"/> </functionName> </function> </parser> Cheers.

  @long76 but maybe add flag update anyway? Well, not within MY power. It sounds like a FEATURE REQUEST but probably not one that will gain much traction. Personally, I wouldn’t be so concerned. Can you load/edit/save the text files you work on, with the version of Notepad++ you have? If yes, be glad. :-)

  Autocompletion across all opened files

  @Michael-Vincent I came looking for the same info. I started to use Atom because it picks up on the function names in any open files and offers it in autocomplete. I’m doing PHP. So I start a session by opening my database and helper function files. Then any file I open gets full access to the autocomplete. I prefer N++ but have been using Atom more lately because I’m doing a HUGE site update and the new function names are not in the old code. It’s saving me a TON of typing.

  Code Completion doesn't work in notepad++ . Help!!!!

  That said, other than the wording on the preferences screen, the official Notepad++ v7.8.5 Settings > Preferences > Auto-Completion does have those options: Unfortunately, I’m not sure it will do completely what @Gourav-Das wants. It has function completion for known functions (and word completion for words found elsewhere in your document); and it has Function parameters hint on input for helping you input the arguments/parameters to known functions. But I don’t know if the <installdir>\autoCompletion\java.xml has all (or even any) of the java.util.Scanner methods in the auto-completion list. And the more I think about it, even if it did, Notepad++ doesn’t have the necessary language-awareness to be able to see that you’ve declared scan as a Scanner instance, and to thus later be able to tell “if the user wants to autocomplete on methods available to scan, I can remember that scan is a Scanner and supply only Scanner methods”. I know there are editors out there that can do such – but from the ones I’ve seen(*), it’s generally only for one or a limited set of languages; Notepad++ has syntax highlighters for dozens of languages, and the development team cannot be expected to be expert enough in all of those languages to build in that level of language-awareness. It might be possible to add that level of awareness using a plugin, but I don’t know whether such a plugin exists for Java-awareness or not. (*: For example: the Visual Basic for Applications GUI, and thus the VBA macro-editors for MS Office products, can do that… but it’s for just the one VBA language. And I think Microsoft Visual Studio has some of that… but from what I understand, you have to install each language separately into VS, and you tend to get the whole benefit of the paid MS staff behind such feature sets. There may be custom-purpose Java editors/IDE out there that bring that level of Java-awareness; but I don’t know of any general-purpose editors like Notepad++ that can track a specific variable’s class in whatever programming language you happen to have chosen, and can autocomplete appropriately for that language and class.)

  @David-Coleman said in Split Screen Mode: I know a document can be cloned … introduce a split screen bar which would allow two viewing areas of the same document Confused. Isn’t this precisely what “cloning” provides?? It would be great if the clone could be to the bottom pane rather than the right pane Right click the splitter bar between the views and choose one of the rotate options. Assuming your starting point, you should now have an over/under type view.

  …any custom words they had before would be lost. If the .usr file is in text format (don’t know, don’t use the spell-check plugin), perhaps the Compare plugin or a script to perform an automatic merge is called for. Just sayin.
