“Make clearing style tokens behave the same way as marking style tokens (i.e. per keyword. Currently “remove a style” removes that highlight from all keywords not just the highlighted one. Adding on the other hand is additive)”

You can clear style by style:
Search\Unmark All\ Clear 1st style
Search\Unmark All\ Clear 2st style
…

Style tokens uses the options of “find GUI” to work (whole word and match case)

@hmuellers

This is a known issue and is already fixed for the next release.

please provide more information

which operating system do you use?

what do you mean by “interface”? … Notepad++ or computer?

please list the sequence of events and actions that lead to the problem

for example:

i navigate to a network drive and double click on text file Notepad++ opens and i start editing the text file network drive drops out sometime during editing i try to save the text file and Notepad++ freezes for 20 minutes.

Here’s an update to my previous post to more directly answer the OP’s question. 7.3 was released on 1 Jan 2017. Unfortunately, it seems that forum @administrators do not usually announce when a release is shifted from pre-prelease mode to production so that the built-in check-for-updates thing updates can pick it up. I suspect 7.3 was never released to production though it’s possible it was released and then withdrawn when the incorrect MD5 issue became known. The MD5 issue was fixed in 7.3.1 on 17 Jan 2017.

@0wlc0der

currently I don’t see a way to reconfigure this and in addition
I would think it might be more useful to check on start but running in the background.
When exiting npp user should be asked about a new version ready to install with an option to skip
this release at all or to postpone installation for another few days.

Minor correction to the sample output, forgot the “Sel” part earlier. It should actually look like this:

Ln:229 Col:103 Sel: 0|0 +r

npp is not a writer/word/wordpad/ replacement.
If you need such functionality then you better use one of those.

Npp is an editor which colors different parts of a text based on
a lexers’ rules. This is done every time you open the respective file
and not stored if you close the file.

So when you want to have a particular file always get colored
based on such rules and non of the builtin lexers can be used,
you need to create your own lexer by using the user defined language dialog.

What I guess I found out so far is the following

First npp tries to detect if the file is a BOM file, if it is,
it gets rid of the BOM signature and continues reading the file in converted utf-8.

If it isn’t a BOM file it’s calling chardet library to see what codepage to use.
If chardet returns, it is checked if it is reported to be utf-8 -> go on reading the file …
if not, convert it to utf-8.

But this, of course, happens only “virtual” for scintilla control.
