But when i select a language and i setup it the next tine that i setup the program check automaticaly the last language that i checked for use in these language
If i setup the program as default the language doesn’t install other languages

@W-D-Smith said in NotePad++ preview plugin? I can't find it.:

I’m told I have to have a preview plug in so I can open my page in NotePad++ to see how it looks. I absolutely cannot find this plugin. I just downloaded NotePad, and I’m completely lost. I had tried to use CoffeeCupHTML but it was complete rip-off.

If you are trying to write an HTML page in Notepad++, you can use one of the options in View | View Current File In to see how it renders in your browser.

If you are looking for a rendering within Notepad++, you can get Preview HTML from the built-in Plugins Admin:

Save any open files you want to keep. Select Plugins | Plugins Admin… from the main menu. Scroll down to Preview HTML and check the box to the left of that entry. Click the Install button near the top right of the dialog. Once Notepad++ restarts, open an HTML file and then access the menu for the plugin at Plugins | Preview HTML. (Check the first menu item to turn it on.)

I don’t use that plugin myself, so I can’t tell you much more about it, but no doubt others here can. It looks as if it exclusively uses Internet Explorer rendering, which is a bit out-of-date these days.

If you are looking for something that will let you edit directly in the rendered page, so that you edit how you want it to look and don’t concern yourself with HTML code/tags (what-you-see-is-what-you-get), that is not possible in Notepad++.

@Hugo-Martinez-Jara said in Notepad++ cloud:

Hi,
Is there a Notepad++ cloud service?
I’d love to save notes, ideas, or logs in .txt from different devices.
No one, as far as I know, has this solution.
As long as the current Notepad++ UX (in my opinion, the best) is respected.
I’m willing to collaborate in any way, whether by contributing work or financially.
Of course, I don’t speak English.
Writing in English is no problem (ChatGpt)

Hugo,

Si tienes algo como Google Drive, puedes configurar tu propio sistema en la nube, y Notepad++ se adapta a eso, permitiéndote configurar una configuración en la nube que copiará tus archivos a esa unidad.

¿Para qué gastar dinero si no es necesario?

Si no es compatible con tu versión de Notepad++, simplemente lee y traduce el manual en línea para aprender cómo.

Traducción de Google Translate

English -
Hugo,

As long as you have something like GoogleDrive, you can setup your own cloud system, and Notepad++ accomodates that, by allowing you to setup a cloud setup, that will copy your files to that cloud drive.

Why create a cost for yourself if you don’t have to?

Just read and translate the online manual if it’s not native in your Notepad++ version to learn how.

@Estevao-Jordao ,

Did you really need to come 4 years later to give a URL to a random website when the problem is solved with Notepad++ and the JSToolNpp plugin mentioned then (or the JsonTools plugin which also exists now).

(your link was de-linkified, to avoid this forum becoming a honeypot for posting URLs to random sites unrelated to Notepad++)

“default style” is working fine for my purposes.

I will propagate these configuration changes to any other old installations I may have.

Thanks to all for the very effective help!

@Molly-Harris-0 Have you tried the Window Manager plug-in?
With the tab bar disabled and using the Window Manager, I think you will have something akin to what you are looking for.

Hello, All,

Just a point of clarification : if you download the 3 parts of this list and want to test some other sorts , remember to add a space char in front of any code-point coded with 4 hexadecimal digits !

Indeed, for a correct empty rectangular selection, the characters must be aligned, like below :

2CE1 ⳡ 2CE2 Ⳣ 2CE3 ⳣ 102E1 𐋡 102E2 𐋢 102E3 𐋣

and NOT like below :

2CE1 ⳡ 2CE2 Ⳣ 2CE3 ⳣ 102E1 𐋡 102E2 𐋢 102E3 𐋣

If you forget to do so, you may see the message : Sorting multiple selections is not supported !

Best Regards,

guy038

@PeterJones said in Linux desktop version of notepad-plus-plus native. (crossplatform):

Besides, with Wine on Linux, I have heard that, except for edge cases, some people can have a reasonably-good Notepad++ experience on Linux.

This is very true, as one of the users of dBASE who specifically requested and encouraged me to work on the UDL for dBASE in Notepad++ is because at the time, his eyes were really bad, and the native IDE editor was not very customizable. He has adapted the dBASE Plus UDL I made so it works with dBASE 5.0 DOS/Windows via a WINE emulator on his servers…where he runs virtual machines for all dBASE versions. Because I was able to make that UDL, he was able to be productive again while getting help with his eyes and is doing much better now, but the point is…Notepad++ works just fine on Linux and Wine. I believe he uses Ubuntu for it, and as @PeterJones has said, only edge cases cause a problem for him, so it shouldn’t be a problem for you running it that way.

@ryangray01,

Again, your only contribution in this topic was to reiterate phrases that had already been used in other posts. Please try to include your own unique perspective in posts. You now have two “could be AI nonsense” strikes against you. You are on very thin ice at this point.

This was tested on Notepad++ v7.8 (32-bit) on Windows 10 (64-bit)

Why would anybody still be using v7.8 (32-bit) on Windows 10 (64-bit) – in 2019, when the original discussion was started, that was reasonable. But 6 years later, when Notepad++ is to v8.8.1, and Windows 10 is at the cusp of end-of-support from Microsoft, I cannot believe you are actually still using that setup, or that there is any benefit today to trying to replicate that 6-year-old setup.

@ryangray01 ,

note from moderator: please reply to the original topic, rather than creating a new topic, otherwise readers lose all context. I have fixed this post (and one other), but it’s really better if you just keep the reply in the same topic to begin with.

update: two of your three posts so far seemed like AI nonsense; two of your three posts so far have replied into a separate topic from the post being replied to; it is really looking like you are just here to disrupt communication, rather than participate in community. If your next post is as meaningless as two of yours, or if it requires extra moderator effort to re-connect it to context, I am going to conclude that you are an AI, and thus react according to our forum’s policy on AI nonsense.

@DougK-AZ said in Large file - hangs when entering text:

couldn’t find a way to upload the sample file.

Each line is similar to the following: …

Can you reproduce the problem also with this testfile_356529lines_LF.zip?

Can you reproduce with disabled (unchecked) N++ Preferences > Auto-Completion > Enable auto-completion on each input ?

Additional info:

First, once I was on my computer this morning, I was able to confirm that ino is already in the default list of extensions for C++, so you don’t need to add it to user ext. Sorry for my poor memory.

Notepad++, by default, doesn’t know the Arduino-specific keywords/constants. But the Style Configurator has 8 “USER KEYWORDS #” styles for C++, and you can add your own keywords into User-defined keywords box for each, and define your own colors.

Before:

After:

Change USER KEYWORDS 1 to green, with setup loop Change USER KEYWORDS 2 to orange, with pinMode digitalWrite delay begin Change USER KEYWORDS 3 to bold+orange, with Serial Change USER KEYWORDS 4 to aqua, with HIGH LOW OUTPUT

d2149d3c-47bd-4c08-a4e6-46bfc6b44aec-image.png

You would have to go through and figure out any other keywords (I don’t currently have a list of arduino keywords, though you could probably search the forum for “Arduino” and maybe find something).

Ah, there, I knew it must exist: this post had a link to a zipfile with an old UDL for Arduino. From it, I was able to extract some lists of keywords, paste them into Arduino IDE 1.8.18 to see how it categorizes them, then re-allocate them:

USER KEYWORDS 1:loop setup USER KEYWORDS 2:ANALOG_PORT BSSID Client END_SYSEX File Firmata MAX_DATA_BYTES REPORT_VERSION RSSI SSID START_SYSEX TOTAL_PORTS WiFiClient WiFiServer Wire abs accept acos analogRead analogReference analogWrite asin atan atan2 attach attachInterrupt attached autoscroll available begin beginPacket beginTransmission bit bitClear bitRead bitSet bitWrite blink blinkVersion callbackFunction ceil clear click close connect connected constrain cos createChar cursor degrees delay delayMicroseconds detach detachInterrupt digitalRead digitalWrite direction disconnect display encryptionType end endPacket endTransmission exists exp find findUntil floor flush gatewayIP getResult getSocket highByte home interrupts isListening isPressed leftToRight listen localIP log lowByte macAddress map max micros millis min mkdir move noAutoscroll noBlink noCursor noDisplay noInterrupts noTone onReceive onRequest open overflow parseFloat parseInt parsePacket peek pinMode position press print printFirmwareVersion printVersion println processInput pulseIn radians random randomSeed read readBytes readBytesUntil readMicroseconds release releaseAll remoteIP remotePort remove requestFrom rightToLeft rmdir round scrollDisplayLeft scrollDisplayRight seek send sendAnalog sendDigital sendDigitalPort sendString sendSysex setBitOrder setClockDivider setCursor setDataMode setFirmwareNameAndVersion setFirmwareVersion setSpeed setTimeout shiftIn shiftOut sin size speed sq sqrt status step stop stringCallbackFunction subnetMask sysexCallbackFunction tan tone transfer version write writeMicroseconds USER KEYWORDS 3:Serial Serial1 Serial2 Serial3 USER KEYWORDS 4:ANALOG_MESSAGE BIN CHANGE DEC DEFAULT DIGITAL_MESSAGE EXTERNAL FALLING FILE_READ FILE_WRITE HALF_PI HEX HIGH INPUT INPUT_PULLUP INTERNAL INTERNAL1V1 INTERNAL2V56 LOW LSBFIRST MSBFIRST OCT OUTPUT PI PROGMEM REPORT_ANALOG REPORT_DIGITAL RISING SET_PIN_MODE SPI_CLOCK_DIV128 SPI_CLOCK_DIV16 SPI_CLOCK_DIV2 SPI_CLOCK_DIV32 SPI_CLOCK_DIV4 SPI_CLOCK_DIV64 SPI_CLOCK_DIV8 SPI_MODE0 SPI_MODE1 SPI_MODE2 SPI_MODE3 SYSTEM_RESET TOTAL_ANALOG_PINS TOTAL_DIGITAL_PINS TWO_PI

I don’t guarantee that’s all, or even most, of the Arduino keywords. But it’s a reasonable selection to get you started.

@xomx Thanks!!!

Thank you

@grievousangel-wtj Have you seen the gcode add-on for Notepad++ https://ncnetic.com/notepad-gcode-plugin/

It’s for G-code while you mentioned G/M-code. I don’t know if that makes a difference.

As I don’t have a CNC I don’t know if the plugin offers the coding help features you are looking for.

I noticed a workaround; consider the following script:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from __future__ import print_function # Python2 vestige! # see https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/26799 "Two buffer-activated notifications instead of just one" from Npp import notepad, NOTIFICATION last_known_doc_index_by_view = [ notepad.getCurrentDocIndex(0), notepad.getCurrentDocIndex(1) ] def find_docindex_from_buffer_id_via_enumeration(test_buffer_id, must_be_in_this_view): for (pathname, buffer_id, index, view) in notepad.getFiles(): if view != must_be_in_this_view: continue # needed to find the right doc in case of cloned doc if buffer_id == test_buffer_id: return index return -1 # never happens def bufferactivated_callback(args): cfn = notepad.getCurrentFilename().rsplit('\\', 1)[-1] # only the filename, no directory print('BUFFERACTIVATED:', cfn, 'args=', args) current_view = notepad.getCurrentView() current_doc_index = notepad.getCurrentDocIndex(current_view) curr_doc_index_via_enumerating = find_docindex_from_buffer_id_via_enumeration(args['bufferID'], current_view) if current_doc_index != curr_doc_index_via_enumerating: print(' NOT A NEEDED ACTIVATION NOTIFICATION!!!!!!') return print(' HANDLING A REAL ACTIVATION NOTIFICATION!') if last_known_doc_index_by_view[current_view] == current_doc_index: print(' note: THIS DOC WAS ALREADY ACTIVE IN THE ITS VIEW -- so was an activation notify really necessary?') else: last_known_doc_index_by_view[current_view] = current_doc_index notepad.callback(bufferactivated_callback, [NOTIFICATION.BUFFERACTIVATED])

This workaround works because the “index” reported with the bogus notification is also bogus, and the correct index can be found by looking through the entire tab list for the right buffer id.

A subtle point of the script is that it can also detect when the active tab in the inactive view is activated by the user.

@PeterJones
Thanks, I understand

@Code-with-Pritam ,

Notepad++ is a text editor. You type your C++ code in there, and the syntax highlighting in Notepad++ will make it easier to visually parse the code you are typing. Then you use an external compiler to compile your source code, then you run the executable. In a bog-standard approach, all Notepad++ is used for is typing.

If you have a plugin like the NppExec plugin, you can help automate some of the steps. For example, I have written a script for NppExec plugin that I call gcc-CompileAndRun, which saves the active file, runs gcc on that file to create an executable with the same name, then runs the executable in the NppExec console window:

NPP_SAVE cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" gcc -o "$(NAME_PART)" "$(FILE_NAME)" $(NAME_PART)

(This script only works on a self-contained, single-file c program. if you used g++ instead of gcc, it would work on a self-contained, single-file c++ program. You could have a similar script which runs your own copy of make – or similar, as appropriate to what C++ compiler and build system you have: the Notepad++ source code, when you are building it with mingw-based g++, uses mingw32-make; strawberryperl comes with a mingw-based gcc/g++ compiler setup, uses gmake (which might be just a rebranded mingw32-make, but I’m not sure); and I know I’ve heard that some c++ setups on Windows can use CMake – but, anyway, if you have a makefile with your project, you could easily do a similar NppExec script that would run the right flavor of make with an appropriate target, rather than directly compiling one c/c++ file and running its executable.

(Personally, I stick with NppExec for the single-file programs, but for anything more complex, I’m more likely to just do the code editing in Notepad++ and then go to a Windows command-line-prompt to run makefiles and the like. And for C++ apps built with the VisualStudio ecosystem, I have given in and started to use that full IDE environment, because debugging is more convenient that way.)

This forum actually has a FAQ entry on how to Compile using an external compiler from Notepad++, which reiterates some of what I told you above, and also has a bit more on the specifics of the NppExec plugin.

This forum is not really the best resource for learning C++, because C++ is just one of the 90+ languages that Notepad++ knows how to syntax highlight, and this forum is focused on the Notepad++ aspects, not on the specific coding language you want to use or programming tasks you want to accomplish. There are tons of websites out there dedicated to helping you learn C++; and there are other forums (like stackexchange) that are better suited to getting answers to coding questions, so you’ll get better answers to coding questions someplace like that than you will here.

So, if you have specific questions about the use of Notepad++ and its plugins that the FAQ and my brief introduction to using NppExec for compiling C++ code didn’t cover, feel free to ask, because questions specific to Notpead++ is the reason this Forum exists and most of the regulars come to answer questions.

@GuFengEn0d ,

Where can I find shortcut keys for special characters?

Do you mean: “how do I type those characters in my file?” You use your keyboard. If your keyboard doesn’t have those, you would enter the characters the same way you would in any text eidtor or normal typing application on your computer.

Do you mean: “how do I use those characters for keyboard shortcuts?” You use Settings > Shortcut Mapper, double click on the command whose shortcut you want to change, and pick the “special character” from the drop-down list – note that a character on its own cannot be a shortcut; you need to use a modifier (like Ctrl or Alt) along with it. Please note:
- In v8.7.6 or newer, the keys specific to your keyboard should be listed in the Shortcut Mapper’s character pulldown
- In v8.7.5-and-earlier, the mapper only shows the US-EN keys, and you might need to read this FAQ for how to map ~ [ ] ; ' \ / <> and Num . (numeric keypad .) to what keys they actually are on your keyboard: it gives some example mappings for a handfull of keyboards, and shows you a website where you cand

Do you mean: “how do i search through the Shortcut Mapper to see whether those keys are used in any existing shortcuts?” Use the Filter: ____ field on each page of the Shorcut Mapper.

See the User Manual’s Shortcut Mapper section for more.
