@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.

Hello all,

FYI, I tried disabling the Scintilla buffering and worked with N++ some time this way. In some occasions I observed flickering in the Sci view that was not present with buffering enabled. So it appears the buffering is actually necessary.
Thanks.

For something with a name that begins “Really Simple,” the implementations are terrible, IMO. But I think I’ve found a project to help me create something useful while learning how to use this editor.

This is a great build. I am quite happy to see you have released it.

Maybe its time for a fork? If you would be willing to make the long standing changes many people have been waiting for, like updated UI, better plugin manager, etc…
