OK guys. Thanks.

Is there a way to be email notified when this post is updated?

Not that I’m aware but maybe someone else knows.

Since I have NEVER in almost 30 years of computing used a 3-button mouse (or a touchpad with that)…do you have to be pointing at the tab to close it, or will it close if your mouse cursor is anywhere within the editing area of a tab’s window?

I believe I had one at one point, but could be wrong. I currently have a two-button-plus-scroll-wheel, and the wheel is clickable. If I middle-click (ie, click the scroll wheel) in the main editor, nothing happens, so that’s good. If I middle click anywhere on that file’s tab in the tabbar, it will close that tab – it does, however, ask me to save any changes first, and I can cancel at that point; if the file was already saved, then it will close without a prompt, so I can confirm similar behavior to the OP.

If @Brian-Bowers has a saved file that accidentally gets closed, he can re-open it quite quickly using File > Restore Recent Closed File (which either has a keyboard shortcut, or can be assigned one in the Shortcut Mapper)

much bigger plugin community

I think N++ offers a decently-sized choice of plugins, but as I’m not familiar with vim, maybe I’m miscalibrated. :-~

Tweak to template due to editing error and not completely checking before posting (did I get it completely right this time? hmmmm):

Bring up the **Find** window (ctrl+f). Bring up the **Replace** window (ctrl+h). Bring up the **Find in Files** window (ctrl+shift+f). Bring up the **Mark** window (*Search* menu > *Mark...*). **Find what** box: `` **Replace with** box: `` **Replace with** box: ***make sure this box is empty!*** **Search mode**: Normal Extended Regular expression **Backward direction**: unticked **Match whole word only**: unticked **Match case**: unticked **Wrap around**: unticked **. matches newline**: unticked **In selection**: unticked **Bookmark line**: unticked **Purge for each search**: unticked Press the **Find Next** button. Press the **Count** button. Press the **Find All in All Opened Documents** button. Press the **Find All in Current Document** button. Press the **Replace** button. Press the **Replace All** button. Press the **Replace All in All Opened Documents** button. Press the **Find All** button. Press the **Replace in Files** button. Press the **Mark All** button. Press the **Clear all marks** button.```

@Lennart-Ingemann-Nielsen
If I am not mistaken, then all settings are stored in the config.xml file which is located in the Notepad++ directory.

@Mike-Candon https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/17985/notepad-website-is-not-reachable

To rename multiple files, use this command syntax and press Enter:

ren .ext1 ???-new_filename_part.

Command syntax example:

ren .jpg ???-hikingTrip.

Thanks Alan for the clarification. My English is not so good.

…zoom…

But if it is really a factor for you, you could put it in a zoom-notify :

try: zoom_notify_installed except NameError: def callback_sci_ZOOM(_): editor.setMarginWidthN(0, editor.textWidth(33, "12345678")) editor.callback(callback_sci_ZOOM, [SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.ZOOM]) zoom_notify_installed = True editor.setMarginWidthN(0, editor.textWidth(33, "12345678"))

(for Pythonscript; I don’t know the Luascript way of doing that)

Do you have the Notepad++ view narrow?

I ran a quick experiment: yes, if you shrink the window width too far, you can cut off part of the “lines: ####” display.

That’s likely the OP’s problem

@Ekopalypse

like the link below, but I jest wang the CR LF not so conspicuous.

Can you post same sample text showing the original and what you would like it to be?

With reference to previous post, please see screenshot here:

Hello, @dave-dyet, @terry-r, @peterjones and All,

Here is a 3rd possible solution :

SEARCH (?s-i).+?(\u.+?)(?=<)|(?s).+

REPLACE ?1\1\r\n ( OR ?1\1\n for Unix files )

Notes :

The remainder of text, near the very end of file, is just wiped out. Indeed, when the second alternative (?s).+ is used, the group 1 does not exist. So, no replacement is done, because of the conditional replacement ?1....

I used the \u syntax which matches, when sensitive search is processed, any uppercase letter of any occidental Unicode script ( Latin, Greek, Cyrillic,… ). It’s probably useless, as in English/American language, no country begins with an accentuated character, anyway ! However, regarding this specific case, writing (?-i)\u is as easy as writing (?-i)[A-Z] ! Refer to the list of sovereign states, below :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states

And we get the text, below :

Africa Angola Argentina Armenia Asia Australia Australia > New South Wales Australia > Northern Territory

Peter, from your solutiion, I built a new version, which can do all the job, in one go ;-)) So, here is the 4th version :

SEARCH (?-s)<.+?>|^\h*\R?|(.+?)(?=<)

REPLACE ?1\1\r\n ( OR ?1\1\n for Unix files )

Notes :

This regex allows the pertinent items to begin with an lowercase letter, either !

If group 1 does not exist, then the <.....> blocks OR possible leading blank chars, followed with a possible line-break, are deleted

If group1 does exist, then the different items of the drop-down list, are listed, as usual, one per line

Best Regards,
