    @Memo-Random

    many thanks for your questions.

    Why can’t we edit posts that we created?

    we don’t want to break any context once it is written.
    the goal is to never write anything you will regret, as it will remain posted for “eternity”.
    if it happens to you one day, you might be able to look at it again after a few years with one eye embarrassed, and the other eye smiling, just like we do 😉

    What if we need to correct something?

    the goal for us is, to get better re-reading our own posts, before hitting submit.
    there’s never any hurry.

    Why do we have to wait 1200 seconds before posting another message?

    because highly frequented, large scale forums, like ours, get spammed a lot, so all new members will have this restriction.
    without this feature, we would have to spend weeks cleaning up bot postings.
    but if you stay around and gather reputation by helping others, you will not have this limit anymore.

    many thanks for your understanding and best regards.

    Correction: the above numbers were “length” counts, not line counts. There may be some correspondence between file size and losing bookmarks, but it isn’t a straightforward cause-and-effect.

    Besides enabling Multi-Editing (as explained by @Alan-Kilborn in his comment), I just had to call the functions directly, just like Scintilla documentation specifies:

    SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDNEXT adds the next occurrence of the main selection within the target to the set of selections as main. If the current selection is empty then select word around caret.

    SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDEACH is similar to SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDNEXT but adds multiple occurrences instead of just one.

    For me, it was unnecessary to call SCI_TARGETWHOLEDOCUMENT, so, for selecting all instances of the word at once, you could just call SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDNEXT followed by SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDEACH:

    // selects all instances of the selected word (or the word around the caret) sci_sendmsg 2688 // SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDNEXT sci_sendmsg 2689 // SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDEACH

    …which has the same effect of simply calling SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDEACH twice:

    // selects all instances of the selected word (or the word around the caret) sci_sendmsg 2689 // SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDEACH sci_sendmsg 2689 // SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDEACH

    Or, instead of blindly calling it twice, you could check if something is already selected with SCI_GETSELECTIONEMPTY (as used on other comments) and then call it only once:

    // selects all instances of the selected word (or the word around the caret) sci_sendmsg SCI_GETSELECTIONEMPTY if $(MSG_RESULT) == 1 then sci_sendmsg 2688 // SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDNEXT endif sci_sendmsg 2689 // SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDEACH

    PS: It would be really nice to have both commands (SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDNEXT and SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDEACH) available for hotkeys in “Settings” > “Shortcut Mapper” > “Scintilla commands”.

    if you install pythonscriptplugin, check the samples out, there is an LogFileLexer example, maybe you can already use it like it is.

    If I copy the .txt file with different extensions, the browsers are enabled and start for .cmd , .html , .xml , .c , but disabled for .txt , .zzz, .log , no extension.
    I don’t see what is the sense of this.
    I think if a file is open and npp can work with it, the view should work.
    The same issue exists on my wife’s Windows 8 machine.

    One more comment about that opening a file using the full path to notepad++ works.

    If you run

    notepad one

    then Windows executes the following:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" -notepadStyleCmdline -z notepad one

    You can experiment with removing the command line arguments which is how I found the problem is caused by the -notepadStyleCmdline parameter. The -z notepad parameter is also not documented but it appears the word notepad comes from Windows and the preceding -z is used to ignore the word “notepad” that Windows added to the command line.

    @cowlinator said:

    default font

    To quote myself from earlier today:

    The wonderful thing about tiggers… er, I mean, Notepad++, is that it’s highly configurable.

    If you don’t like a default, change the setting yourself. Style Configurator is your friend.

    Why was this chosen

    “Courier New” was probably chosen because it’s nearly universal on Windows machines, dating back as far as I can remember(*) in my font-based computing, and can be counted on to be there. And maybe there are people who prefer Courier New over Lucida Console, or whatever other “default” you might want to suggest.

    In the end, no default setting will make everyone happy for a given application, so the author picked some default and gave users the ability to change it. Since it’s configurable, the chances are pretty slim that the default will change.

    update: * “as far back”: a quick search found that Courier New was introduced as the system font in Windows 3.1 back in 1992. The first reference I can find to Lucida Console was Win 2000.

    welcome to the notepad++ community, @jhframe

    unfortunately the explorer plugin author has apparently made changes to the older 1.8.5 download, which is in the 7.6.6 plugins admin list.
    it’s possible this has happend as he released 1.8.6.

    currently, you have to install it manually, by downloading Explorer.zip from here:
    https://github.com/oviradoi/npp-explorer-plugin/releases and extract it.

    go to the notepad++ menu plugins > open plugins folder to open it in windows explorer. create a folder called Explorer. copy the extracted Explorer.dll into the Explorer folder. restart notepad++

    best regards.
