@Alan-Kilborn Here is, as requested: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/9012

@richlux said in Notepad++ thinks punctuation and special characters at end of URL are part of the link:

Is there anyway to exclude these characters from the link?

Yes, if you are creating your own URL text, do this:

( https://www.google.com )

Obviously, if there are URL text in documents you aren’t in charge of, this doesn’t help.

@Klaudiusz-Gawlik

This behavior you mention has been requested a few times.
Here’s one of them: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/1499
There are some potential problems with the request:

How do you know if a line contains 1 hit, 2 hits, 3 hits, etc.? How do you jump into the “source” for the search if you want the 2nd, 3rd, etc. hit? (One assumes that a double-click on the line would jump to the first match – current behavior)
Maybe these are “don’t cares” for you, but, as pointed out to you in another thread, you aren’t the only Notepad++ user in the universe.

@Klaudiusz-Gawlik ,

If you have really read the other discussions here in this forum that talk about similar issues, you will know that there is not concensus, even in the Community, about whether such an action would be “the best thing ever” or “the worst possible decision”. I am not sure whether you think stating your opinion as fact will make it fact, or if you think that by stating it again, you can impose your will on all other users, or if there is some other interpretation.

Further, if you had read even a small number of such discussions here, you would have seen a link to this FAQ, which explains that even if every single member of the Forum agreed with you, that wouldn’t change the fact that feature requests are not tracked here, and discussion in this Forum does not directly result in action or decisions by the developers.

I personally would vote against your change, if my vote had any meaning or weight (it doesn’t, since this is the Forum); the bulk of your argument is that “it takes me more time to get the results in the form that I like, so you should change it to match my preferences”; the bulk of the counter argument is “if it changed, it would take us more time to get the results in the form that we like”. Neither choice will make everyone happy. The current behavior is likely what the developer prefers, because it’s what he implemented when he decided the feature should be implemented; good luck changing his mind on that.

@Mester-Perfect said in ERROR Notepad++:

I use a nvda screen reader

I see that nvda appears to be free. Also, there appears to be an addon for NVDA to make Notepad++ more accessible; are you using that addon? If so, does the error go away if you disable that addon? If not, does using that addon make the error go away?

Given that it’s free, maybe someone will be able to try experiments with it. (I cannot on my work machine, sorry.)

Well, I found out where the error was
This error is caused by an nvda add-on that makes it easy to use Notepad ++ with an nvda screen reader
Because I can only take advantage of the auto-complete feature by using this add-on
Because the suggested word list shown by the code auto-complete feature is not accessible
When I disabled the add-on, the error disappeared

@Matthias-Steiner

Delimiter work best if they are defined with start/end tags.
If other parts are within a delimiter try playing with nesting (available via styler button) to see if this solves your issues.

@Daniel-Gonçalves-Jr ,

Please note that this forum is a forum of users of Notepad++. Feature requests are not effective here; but we have a FAQ explaining where and how to make feature requests.

I am not 100% sure what you mean by “screen activation functionality”.

From a general “dark mode” sense: Please note that there have been multiple requests for a truer “dark mode”, both here and in the correct issues tracker mentioned in the FAQ, with nothing happening on it. A likely reason is that the codebase was created when “dark mode” wasn’t such a thing, so the right hooks weren’t made in the code to make it easy to implement; at this point, it’s probably a huge effort, and the developers have not prioritized such an extreme effort.

However, if you search other recent “dark mode” threads, you will see that there are Windows settings that can be changed which will influence the color of the UI portions of Notepad++, which may or may not give you what you want.

It seems they finally added this option in settings! Nice!!!

@Anderwriter said in Parentheses/brackets/braces turn bold on current line? Intentional?:

How to obtain this “debug info” you’re referring to

Nine days ago @ArkadiuszMichalski told you how to do this:

(select in Menu bar ? >> Debug Info…).

Isn’t NPP designed to run on current monitors?

Not particularly.
Notepad++ is a very old codebase.
High DPI support is one of its weaknesses because it is difficult to adapt a legacy application to it.
Not impossible, it just takes a lot of effort.
And since Notepad++ is supported purely by donated time and basically zero funding, it hasn’t been able to keep pace with certain things (fancy Windows theming is another).

[because settng the Default Style is usually sufficient for defining the normal plaintext color.]

Bug exist, you don’t need open new.

The mistake I made was copying just the icon to the desktop for ease of use. Wrong thing to do.
I am running it from the original folder where it was installed and it is fine now. File Associations were set up correctly. This issue can be closed.

@2zesky said in Bug with autodetecting codepage:

But autodetect still need to fix

Autodetect is a bit of a guessing game.
It isn’t likely to get “fixed”.

@Michel-Dessaintes ,

printing double sided

Notepad++ (and most other apps) have no notion of “double sided”; that’s a feature of your specific printer driver. Most likely, your solution will be found in printer-specific settings, rather than in Notepad++ itself.

Thanks to all three of you. I understand the reasoning now.

@woodrow-smith said in Default Directory Issue:

Notepad++ > Settings > Preferences > Default Directory > Follow Current Document

I’ve always found this choice to be the most reliable and (thus luckily) the one that makes the most sense to want to use.

Maybe there is a “disconnect” about how you think this is supposed to work? Maybe walk us through an example? Otherwise, I think it is working fine for the vast majority of users, so I don’t think there’s anything else anyone can do to help.

Hello,@guy038
Follow this steps,To Sorting with a “column mode” selection

Step 1:- Line Up Columns using the TextFX Plugin

Step 1 :- Select the pipe (|) character that separates the “columns” and copy it to the clipboard:
Step 2 :- Select all the text and use Line up multiple lines by (Clipboard Character):
Step 3 :- We have now lined up the text using the pipe (|) character to make it look like a table with columns

Step 2:- Move and Sort Columns

Step 4:- Use Alt+Mouse Dragging or Alt+Shift+Arrows to select the “colums” you want to move.

Step 5:- Drag the columns to the start of the first line. You can also Cut (CTRL+X) the selected columns, move the caret to the start of the first line, then Paste (CTRL+V) the columns there.

Step 6:- Select all the text and use Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending:

Step 7:- We have now sorted the text alphabetically by the first “columns”:

I hope this information will be usefull for you.
Thank you.

@Pierre-de-la-Verre said in 7.8.8 does not show the update to 7.8.9:

bug or feature?

feature, and also a FAQ

There’s a delay in time before that gets turned on.
This is to prevent mass early adoption in case a huge flaw is discovered in a new release.
This has been somewhat mitigated by the “release candidate” approach that has been taken lately, but I suspect only a very small fraction of even those that follow Notepad++ closely even try the “RC”.
