@Dana-Basel ,

That’s an unfortunate side effect of the Developers deciding to only have 5 toolbar icon options, instead of 6. Other than not wanting to support so many alternatives, since they already had the icon set for the large colored icons, I am not sure why they decided to remove the large-standard icons.

You might want to go put in your 2c on issue #9913, which asks for a set of large standard icons to be added back in. The more “regular users” who weigh in, the more likely it is that the Developers team will consider implementing the request. Good luck.

@Zohar-Levi said in Instant search:

Maybe should say somewhere that there are no website notifications.

The website software isn’t owned by Notepad++.
Thus, not sure if such configuration is possible.

It should be: if there’s a dialog (pop up window) open, then close it. Otherwise, quit.

You may certainly have your own opinion about it, but I wouldn’t wait for such a feature to appear in Notepad++.

The link you provided seems to discuss the same issue.

That was my reason for posting it.
It also provides a workaround, if you choose to go that way with your own setup.

@Todd-Cary said in How to remove all formatting including hyperlinks:

I would like to remove all formatting including hyperlinks.

There is one thing that might help you. If you select text on a website, then paste that into a Notepad++ empty tab you will get the text without the formatting, although it will have EOLs included so in a way it is still formatted…
If you wanted the text with html code included (or RTF which is another option) you “edit” (main menu), then “paste special” and select html (or RTF) and you get the additional formatting code. Works for me.

@Bradley-Uffner

See this post for a list of official issues (in the github repo) and other posts in this forum that talk about the same thing. There have probably been other mentions since then.

@sktpin said in Active tab color - red stripe changeable?:

with the coloring style for the editor that I had once picked, anyway.
That extra line is superfluous no matter how you color it - IMO!

I use Green and find it quite useful:

The behavior is controlled by a Preference setting:

AFAIK, the default settings (as shown) should do what you want, specifically, you’d only get prompted for reload of changed file, when you activate that file’s tab.

Example with picture:
Select some files, order of selection doesn’t matter, but right click is done on cs.xml:
bc85457f-bc2b-4e3b-b6d2-f9951276ec6e-grafik.png

Order in Notepad++:

Hope it helps somebody to understand, even if it is nearly the same like your example. Yes, it adds no new information… but hopefully more clarity.

@Rehan-Babar
It is possible. You need to use a regular expression (regex) in the Find window and have search mode set to “regular expression”.
Find what:855834693|855834706

Press the count button.

This regex uses alternation, that’s the pipe character between the numbers to say either number will count as 1.

@artie-finkelstein

…It really helped drive home @astrosofista’s examples

This was not my intention; perhaps you misunderstood.
I was linking directly to a posting, not the larger thread, for the awesome solution to the problem posed here in this thread.
The linked posting discusses using Ctrl+Delete, not any plugin.

Plugins (including Better Multiselection) are great, but even better is when something available natively is the solution to something. And the Ctrl+Delete technique is available natively.

Hello @afandi-saion,

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl+ H )

SEARCH /

REPLACE \r\n ( or \n only for Unix files )

Tick the Wrap around option

Select the Extended or Regular espression search mode

Click on the Replace All button

Best Regards,

@mere-human said in Need button Back and Forward for placed coursor to previous position:

I think I know what you mean. A similar feature exists in Visual Studio:

Here is a short demo for those unfamiliar with the feature:
https://youtu.be/RvE2GMWOOjg
You can fill a feature request on GitHub as described in the comment above.
But please, follow the guidelines and provide all the necessary details.

Yes, this feature is very useful. Maybe someone else implements it, I see the application is updated frequently.

What about a hybrid between @Alan-Kilborn & @mere-human earlier selection?

(please excuse the ugly artwork example:
idea.jpg

additions/changes/tweaks:
“new 9” updates to the next file for each single press of ‘Yes’ or ‘No’
‘Yes’ saves the file in question, ‘No’ doesn’t and both skip to the next file
‘N’ counts down as Yes or No are pressed
add a balloon hint to ‘Yes to all’ to show the ‘Can be changed in preferences’ hint.

The part I’m not sure about is: What to do when the list of N+1 files has been presented and there are still unsaved files. My first thought is that’s the job of the ‘Close’ dialog as the ‘Save All’ dialog has completed it’s job. My second thought is to ask for ideas.

BTW: I’d rather see ‘Yes to all’ be rewritten as ‘Yes, save all’

yes, by mistake I delete+shift some html files. I manage to recover them with Recuva (or File Recovery), but both version of recovered html files have the same NULNULNUL, as you can see in the print screen

Anyway, this looks like a similar problem: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/8045

@John-Connor-0 said in text string to column:

So far it’s working Thanks so much!

I’ve just noticed that my solution doesn’t do one of the example lines (sorry missed that on the first look).

Not to worry as these lines weren’t affected by the first regex (regular expression) as there was no pseudo arrow character in these lines. So to edit these lines and have the resulting fields line up with the other altered fields I have the following. Same as before, use Replace and set the search mode to regular rexpression.
Find What:(?-s)^(.:)(.+?) - (Skipped.+)
Replace With:"\1\2","","\3"

Important, use the first solution first, then this afterwards otherwise erroneous results will occur. This one places an empty field where the destination drive letter would otherwise be, thus keeping the success or failure result as the third output field.

@Neculai-I-Fantanaru

I wish I know how to use my Python code as to make multiple replacement with Boost regex engine.

PythonScript plugin doesn’t like my Python code…

Doesn’t like your code… Hmm, well the PythonScript plugin that is officially downloadable via Plugins Admin is version 2.x – that one uses Python2 syntax. There’s a beta release of the P.S. plugin that is version 3.x – it uses Python3 syntax.

So you could change your code to use Python2, or you could use the beta plugin.

It is about some parsings and other things for optimize. Anyway, if I have more then 2.000 html files, I cannot wait for each of regex to finnish the job. I must work with some other things in the meantime.

But it will be easier for me, if the such a “Batch Processor” (with multiple search and replace) will work in background, this way I can do other things in the meantime.

Yes, this would be a problem with Notepad++, as it is a single-threaded, one-thing-at-a-time situation.

So, you’re right, for your situation, doing it with a Notepad++ solution is not going to be for the best.

@Alan-Kilborn
You could always dig up an ASR-33 and use ed or vi. <grin> I realize that’s close to heresy in this forum, but once glass teletypes became a thing, variable width characters weren’t far behind.

IIRC: I tried Fira and other ligature supporting fonts a few years back, and decided that I’d spent TOO many years in the 80 column world where everything was always lined up, and I couldn’t handle the “improvements”.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Adding Ruler below tab bar:

(Disclaimer: But I really don’t know, it’s just a guess).

Having lifted that code from someone else and incorporated my vertical “highlight” all into that plugin - I can safely say “I really don’t know, it’s just a guess” as well :-) !!!

Cheers.

OK, I started issue on GitHub here

@mladenandonov said in Dark mode icons with custom styles:

Question is where are the icons stored and can I open them in an image editing software such as Photoshop, in order to invert them?

They are compiled into the notepad++.exe binary.
