Hello, @rob-mcdonell and All,

You could use the @Peterjones’s Python script, provided in this post :

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/44448

Each time this Python script is called, it displays, in the leftmost zone of the status bar, the character currently at the right of the caret/cursor, of the current file, even in case of a selection, as well as its Unicode code-point, both in hexadecimal and decimal values !

It works with any Unicode character, even for those with code-point over the BMP ( Basic Multilingual Plane )

To get the default language name again, just switch to an other tab and switch back

You may prefer my version with a slightly different layout, here :

Or this other version, of @alan-kilborn, with a possible replacement of the aimed character :

Best Regards,

Many thanks guys.

@Alan-Kilborn said in How many colors on HTML code:

That’s not a question about Notepad++.
This is a forum to discuss Notepad++ features, quirks, how-to’s, etc.
Please find a more appropriate forum on which to ask your question.

sorry, wrong number!!

Well I think the question is, are you hired in a job to create html code (many projects) or just trying to pressure someone into creating something to make it easy for you.

Terry…! whats wrong with you? no one hired me, I don’t want to hire anyone, I’s just a normal guy wanna do my NFT art with html code. can you please leave the side talks away from here.

There are some other options such as creating a program using say PythonScript which integrates into Notepad++ (NPP)

Thats hard for me. I dont wanna go deep in languages of coding :)

The copy paste idea could be made into a macro which is then run the number of times required.

Yes I found that yesterday and I found Cnrt + End = will take me to end of the file.

As for column editor, it appears you don’t know that function in NPP. Create an empty file/tab in NPP and create at least 11 empty lines. Position the cursor in the very first position, on the first line. Select column editor in the menu, you will be using the insert number. You will see some options such as start number, repeat, leading zero and others. Have a play and see the results.

I got brain fart yesterday because of this, can you please send me any youtube video? I’m sure there are, but I dont know what to search about, I dont have Keywords.

As your project wants the numbers as words I looked online and found that linked site within a few seconds. NPP doesn’t handle numbers like that so it’s necessary to get that info elsewhere, then paste it back into NPP so it can use the words.

I can switch that on excel, excel will help me to do this step.

@Rolf-Petersen ,

In your previous session, did you have a network file open? Or a file from a thumb drive? Or from a cloud folder that might be syncing? Or is such a file listed in your recently-used-files list? If Notepad++ is trying to look for the existence of a file on a drive that’s not mounted, or slow to respond, or similar, then it can take a while

Turning on the checkbox for Settings > Preferences > Recent Files History > Don’t check at launch time might help speed up the process, because then it doesn’t check through the recently-used-files to see if they still exist.

Also, you might try turning off plugins (run with the -noPlugin option, or rename c:\program files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins folder) to see if one of your plugins is the culprit.

@Dave-Sparks ,

As my screenshot indicates, the Find In Files progress… reliably shows up on my v8.1.4 edition; the folder I showed an example from had a ~50MB text file (the one shown), a couple of small text files, and a couple of binary files, and it had no problem starting the progress dialog with the cancel button.

That said, I guess that this point, you really should file a bug report (making sure you link that video in the report), because even though I cannot replicate your problem, it appears to be a real issue where the existing feature is not working for you, for whatever reason.

@Paul-Brassington said in Flutter Developement:

Any ideas?

Idea 1: Make a UDL (User Defined Language) – which is relatively simple, especially if you follow the links in the UDL dialog/panel to https://ivan-radic.github.io/udl-documentation/ , which describes each filed in the UDL definition in detail.

Idea 2: Since you apparently know C++, you could also write a lexer plugin if you cannot find one elsewhere.

Maybe also try a Find All in Current Document search.

since @freedom-ilias didn’t provide it, the link to the created issue is https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/10523

Thanks @PeterJones.

Thank you very much, this is exactly what I want!

thanks. I didn’t see that small box with the tab selection.

@Steven-Downey ,

Sorry, didn’t happen for me.

I had already updated my PC at work, where I use portable, and nothing happened to my NppFTP configuration settings (including profiles) – and I’ve been using that since the day that v8.1.4 was officially released.

At home, I still had 8.1.3, so I just checked for updates and did the automatic 8.1.4 upgrade: after upgrading, I still had my NppFTP profiles with no difficulty.

The NppFTP profiles are stored in %AppData%\Notepad++\Plugins\Config\NppFTP\NppFTP.xml … and the Notepad++ installer shouldn’t generally overwrite anything in the plugins config folder for a normal installation. (The plugin list for Plugins Admin, nppPluginList.dll, will go in <appfolder>\Plugins\Config … so for a normal installation, that’s separate; but for a portable edition, that’s the same Plugins\Config folder that the plugins actually use for their config files.)

Before updating Notepad++, it’s a good idea to make a copy of %AppData%\Notepad++ : you can open Windows Explorer, type %AppData% 🛈 in the Explorer’s location bar, then copy Notepad++ and paste it (which will default to Notepad++ - Copy as the name). That way, if some important config file – for either the app or a specific plugin – gets overwritten or deleted accidentally, you can still see what was there before and get it back. (I did that before updating my NPP at home, but it wasn’t necessary, because nothing got overwritten for me.)

I ended to identify how it occurs.

The issue occurs when Notepad is completely minimized to the system tray and there’s no Notepad window minimized in the Windows bar.

So the workaround is simple:

Go to settings > preferences > miscellaneous > disable “Minimize to the system tray”.

Thank you very much for the clarification. And forgive me for any inconvenience.
I will send the question to Scintilla Feature Request.

Thank you very much!

@Promytius-Syl ,

Use the style configurator to change the color of selected-text background to something that provides enough contrast for your eyes and monitor.

@Alan-Kilborn said in remove n lines before and after a specific text:

${1}

seems that it works!!! many thanks!
now I try on multiple files

@Alan-Kilborn Excellent bro , it worked zabardast

@Bruno-Guillemette said in XML file / Language set to None (Normal Text) / XML Tools option Set XML type automatically:

When working with big XML files, I set the Language to None (Normal Text) to speed things up. But as soon as I was typing anything, even just [ENTER], the XML highlight was back, slowing down Notepad++ quite a bit.
I finally realized that the culprit was the Set XML type automatically option of the XML Tools plugin. This option is selected by default I think, so I didn’t really noticed it before this.

Good tip on the set XML to Normal Text for large file if you don’t need highlighting / function list but do need performance and I do have XML Tools installed, but not that option checked - so I wouldn’t have noticed it, but experimenting with it, I do see your behavior.

I’m going to leave XML Tools Set XML type automatically unchecked so Notepad++ can autodetect and I can “reset” to Normal Text without worrying about it switching auto-magically for me.

Cheers.
