@PeterJones Well there you go! Thank you!!! :)

Thanks for the discussion guys. It really helps me to figure out my problem.

I revisit the original topic of this thread HERE.

Replacing symbols is very simple if you use Facebook symbols. I learned a lot from this website, which has a great article on each symbol. You can convert your whole article into a symbol if you have knowledge about it.

@Alan-Kilborn said in “In selection” checkbox for replacing in selected lines:

But… it does seem a bit inconsistent and “at odds” that when enough text is selected to cause In selection to be auto-checked, that the selected data is also copied into the Find what box.

I created an official ISSUE for this oddness.

@Tony-Mongiello said in Invert Background and forground colors on select words in a document:

Is there a way to “format” selected characters in a document and invert the fore and background colors?

Not permanently. This is a text editor, and text (like a .txt file) doesn’t store things like font and color.

There are ways to convince Notepad++ to higlight things: you can use the Mark dialog to temporarily mark things, or the Search > Style All Occurrences / Style One Token actions to add color (similar to inverse video) temporarily. But that doesn’t get saved in the file, because that’s not a feature of text files.

@Alan-Kilborn Thank you very much for your patience

@datatraveller1 said in Enable Close All confirm dialog:

Does this mean it will come true?

One never knows…

There’s a PythonScript that solves the problem HERE if you want to have a solution to your desire right now.

@Michael-Vincent
Thanks for your observations,
I’ll try your suggestion and see what happens.

Although my exposed idea is precisely so that Notepad++ does not need PhythonScript or NppExe, that is to say that it is self-sufficient (autoFillup).

I have noticed in some comments (not in this thread) that to support an argument, the exception is used and not the rule.

If programming were based on exceptions, trillions of different algorithms would be needed to handle each particular case, thing which @PeterJones once used as an argument in one of our entertaining debates :)

Currently, I am studying the PythonScript manual to put it into practice, something that @PeterJones himself suggested. Until then, It is possible that my answer will take time and end up giving everyone the reason… Will I be able to? ;-)

Have a good afternoon.

@Michael-Vincent
Wow, I didn’t know there was such a plugin.
thank you very much. solved.

@Infinix-DXB

Settings->Preferences->Backup should contain everything you need, right?

@kanishknishar said in Problem with regex:

and it works too (except the last) but when I try it on Notepad++ it finds no matches. What’s going on?

Your regex is looking ONLY for \n whereas normally you would use \r\n which refers to carriage return AND line feed, or \R which means any type of line ending, \n, \r or \r\n .\r\n is the normal line ending in a Windows TXT file.

However the last line will not have these so I’d change your current \n for a $ which means end of line, just before the carriage return and line feed. By not selecting the actual line endings you don’t need to return it as a replacement.

PS you could even use this version of your regex if all the closing brackets finish the line

Just wanted to thank the Alan for his code and instructions and offer a couple of clarifications. This “add on” to NotePad++ has made my work much more productive.

First- When configuring NotePad++ preferences, “Cloud & Link” panel, URI Customized schemes- be aware that the items are separated by a space character. The display on my machine didn’t make this clear and I fumbled around for quite a time before I added a space before the “edit:” addition I made. One might mention that once the preference change is made, the edit URIs in text will start to act like non-working links. Do that first to be sure you got the preference change right.

Two- I am using the UriIndicatorAltClick2.py code because my main use case is opening up images pointed to in my text.
In the startup.py file, I had to add these 2 lines-

import UriIndicatorAltClick2 uiac2 = UriIndicatorAltClick.UIAC2()

Three- I also use lots of non-ASCII unicode in my text, but, so far all my file names are simple ASCII, so I don’t have to worry about the py code handling unicode properly and updating to PythionScript3.x
All of my python dev experience has been with python 3 so I was concerned about whether PythonScript2.0 using Python 2 would cause problems. As far as I can see, the Python 2 stuff is isolated to the one dll installed in the plugin folder.

Thanks again.

At the very least (sorry), these keywords are missing from the C++ default keyword list, and should be added:

int_least8_t int_least16_t int_least32_t int_least64_t

I suppose whether you like your header (.h) files to be considered “C” or “C++” is a matter of individual choice, so I don’t think there’s anything more to do other than what @Ekopalypse has already indicated.

@lodak80 ,

Settings > Preferences > Delimiters > ☐ Add your character as part of word is the option which influences what characters can be grabbed by the double-click action.

@Daryl-Titcomb

The misleading error message was resolved, see HERE; however the improvement request for more specific error messages remains incomplete as of now.

@Jason-Carlton said in Find in Files filter, include AND exclude combined:

I thought this would work, but it doesn’t:

Did you read the online manual about the specific requirements of this tab? Try looking at this section of the manual. Ver 8.2 and better will allow what you need, but you must define it correctly.

@Udo-Sander said in please add a toolbar button "go to end of file":

Dear developers team,

As is made abundantly clear if you read the “please read this before posting” before posting, the Community Forum is not the developers team.

edit %AppData%\Notepad++\langs.xml

Specifically, change this line:

<Language name="nncrontab" ext="tab spf" commentLine="\" commentStart="" commentEnd="">

to this:

<Language name="nncrontab" ext="spf" commentLine="\" commentStart="" commentEnd="">

Removing tab from the list of extensions for nncrontab files.
