    Not exactly what you are looking for, but do you know the
    BetterMultiSelection plugin?
    It could be an alternative in the way you format your code.

    @John-Thompson-0

    So what you’ve been given to solve your problem is one more most basic and core substitutions of this type that you can do.
    You can see the power of it now, I’m sure.
    Do yourself a favor and acquaint yourself with other similar techniques buy having a read HERE.

    I do understand your point. My old business partner and best friend for 20+ years was a programmer and I just could never get my head around it. Like, I can decipher a lot of what’s in the line but to sit down and write it myself? no way. But I suppose if I just started doing it I could. I mean isn’t that how most people learned html and css? I know it’s how I did. back 25 years ago.

    It’s been hard to get it. I’ve tried taking jquery courses and basic JavaScripting and it just never ‘took hold’ and got me interested. I suppose it’s because I never really ‘had’ to learn that like I did markup etc.

    @Anthony-Blinco,

    @Alan-Kilborn said in Is it possible to map multiple keys to notepad++ functions?:

    Regarding editor.search() – which is proper for this thread since we’ve been discussing PythonScript – why not just move your caret to an instance of that in your text and invoke Context-Help from the PythonScript menu, right in Notepad++ ?

    Am i looking at the right one

    http://npppythonscript.sourceforge.net/docs/latest/scintilla.html#helper-methods

    I’d give that a “no”.

    Specifically, the old sourceforge copy of the documentation is severely out of date.

    When you install PythonScript, it also installs a local up to date version of the PythonScript documentation, which can be accessed through Notepad++ menu Plugins > PythonScript > Context-Help (and, as @Alan-Kilborn mentioned, if your caret is on the editor.search() command, it should open the help to the right place). Use that for all documentation needs on PythonScript. But yes, it is in the helper-methods section of the editor object documentation.

    Based on the link that @mere-human found, Admin Notepad++ may be able to get drag and drop messages by disabling filters with a call to ChangeWindowMessageFilterEx.

    So there is point to file an issue.

    Well, I guess.
    Sometimes there’s an art to data creation, though.
    For instance, perhaps really long lines impact how fast something will run.
    Perhaps the ratio of empty to non-empty lines makes a difference.
    Perhaps…perhaps…perhaps…

    I suppose it would have been best to have the OP’s data file, since it was the one that had the original complaint…

    @scorpcat007 said in is there a way to download the user manual?:

    guess they closed the conversation. :(
    never understood why forums are in such a rush to close conversations. seems like this is still relevant.

    As one of the people involved in npp-usermanual issue#163, who put a lot of effort into solving the problem, and convincing the owner to incorporate the fix, so that the zipfile of usermanual will be downloadable for this and every future version of the Notepad++ user manual, I am rather frustrated that you would look just the word “closed” on the issue and thus complain here, without also looking over at the “accepted” label that is plainly visible on the same page:
    dfc70801-7f21-402e-b2be-25042641dd6b-image.png

    … and without reading down to the end, where you can see links to the three pull requests that went about implementing the request:
    35a557f4-d9e3-4129-af67-27fad8a6cb0f-image.png

    … or seeing the mention of the issue where the usermanual for Notepad++ v7.9.5 was released to the npp-user-manual.org website:
    4856b40e-9f05-4de9-b619-70e40542c3d5-image.png

    We weren’t in a rush to close the conversation… we were in a rush to solve your problem, and did our best to implement the requested feature. And once we did, and only then, did we close the request. The reason we closed the issue is because the feature was given to you, and had been published to the live website, as Alan linked.

    ?

    The admin deleted my old account. And I’ve renamed myself using the control panel:

    Use your current federated account to log in. Navigate to:
    https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/user/your-current-user-name/edit/username Edit the user name in the form. Click “Change Username” button.

    My issue is resolved.

    In the future, someone would have to create a similar forum thread to get help.

    In my case, my old account had my name and no activity associated with it. So, it was an easy call to delete it.

    My problem came because I’ve cut ties with Facebook. So, if you’re likely to do the same, you might come here first and associate your forum account with a new ID provider. Then you can leave the old provider.

    if you run npp as Admin - it will not bring up front new file on opening
    if you run npp as non admin - it will

    @Alan-Kilborn Thanks for taking the time to reply to my inquiry. I agree that in the past TextFX is awkward. It used to work to give me the date time function and permitted hot keys to be used. Now it just doesn’t work the way it used to. But I did find a solution in another thread that works for me in my current incarnation of Notepad++ v7.9.5 which I posted here in a reply to astrosofista.

    Were you starting with the “portable” version of Notepad++?
    I’m not sure it is relevant, but what you’ve discussed makes me remember an issue concerning the portable version and the path to theme files needing to have a hard-path (exactly what you’ve done).
    Again, not sure it is germane to your situation…
