@Alan-Kilborn

May be you are not so wrong after all, and the key word in the manual is could be “periodically”, which is not very precise.
What does it mean exactly? (did not find what is the delay between 2 checks, neither where it can be configured)

Best regards.

@Globalcom-Santo

What makes you think that it isn’t macro-recordable?

@Haqim-Zuhari said in My 2 cents about Notepad++ (i really2 love notepad++):

Change this icon from workspace to a better one or remove it

This topic has already been asked by me, and the author of Notepad ++ does not want to delete these curved icons))

That was extensive. Thank you. For real.

Now, turns out Npp was right and notepad and github are wrong.
That’s what I get for copy and pasting code from random sites.

Glad it was sorted. Saves me a bunch of time.

@Frank-Posa ,

Since v7.8.7, even the new-style applies an extension based on the selected file type in the save/save-as dialog. If you type no extension, it will take the first extension from the Save as type box:

Knowing that typing your own extension (like blah.ext) will override the auto-extension, I tried a trick of typing blah. to try to convince it to use an empty extension: as shown in the screenshot above, it still appended .txt to the filename, making it blah..txt, which isn’t what I wanted. However, if you then change Save as type to All types (*.*), and don’t type an extension, it will save the file with no extension.

It’s a little extra work, but that will enable you to save a file with no extension. (Alternately, change your workflow slightly: create the file in Windows Explorer with no extension, then right click and open-with Notepad++ or drag the file into the open Notepad++.)

Unfortunately, we’re finding that no matter how the save-options are defined, someone will think that NPP has done it completely wrong and not given the option they want.

@Sebastián-Orias-Sender said in Notepad++ funciona en linux?:

Hola tengo como sistema operativo Ubuntu y cuando pruebo notepad++ me dice el siguiente mensaje:
No se puede encontrar la aplicación en su sistema
Me pueden ayudar?

Debes instalar Notepad++. Si estás usando un Ubuntu relativamente reciente, lo harás a través de Snap.

You must install Notepad++. If you are using a relatively recent Ubuntu, you will do this via Snap.

@Hassan-Iqbal

the second part sounds like a feature request.

@SlamJammington

My first guess is that you use notepad++ from the windows store, could this be? If so, this is NOT the official application which is available from here.

If this is not the case, may I ask you to explain in detail what you are doing? Step by step so that one can replicate what is happening.

In addition, please post the debug-info from the ? menu.

@Best-Sellers

Your steps don’t really “repro” all that well.

Click on New

What does this mean?
Toolbar button for new document?:

cf4d7b55-b723-4bfe-a740-99b251424448-image.png

That is the only thing on the UI (without doing more actions that you haven’t described) that would give a “New” behavior.

Right Click on the new sheet and click on Save As

If I right click on the new “sheet” I get no option to Save As:

69ad2e1c-ebd7-4c9e-afbc-eee4a554c0c1-image.png

However, if I right-click on the tab of the sheet (but you didn’t say that, so I’m confused) I get that option:

f595a5ab-6a35-45bc-8a03-b67b73aa768c-image.png

But choosing it I get no crash, I get:

2cbbb86d-c36d-470a-a5c4-f9bfc4a48c6f-image.png

And then continuing on to save the file I still get no crash, thus to:

Observe that Notepad++ app crashes.

I say “I can’t reproduce”.

I’m doing all this on N++ 7.8.8.
Does it make sense that you should have also told us what version you are using?

At this point I have to point you HERE.

@PeterJones Sorry, I hit the link and … sorry again.

And if Notepad x64 7.0 (npp.7.bin.x64) is the only version that will work, maybe someone can show me how to enable the Plugin Manager so I can load a few basic plugins - its not listed in the PLUGINS section.

@雑雑

If you are going to follow the advice given, you should create one issue per suggestion item. No one will take you seriously if you jumble a bunch of stuff together in one issue.

Also, I’ve read over your list of suggestions. As a long-time user of Notepad++ (so I think I have somewhat of a grasp of its design), I don’t see a lot of value there (sorry).

Here are some additional comments:

While launching two windows, I want the search tool to switch to the search for the active window.

Not reasonable. You are talking about multiple instances of Notepad++. The design is to allow this, but in an independent (and limited) way.

Please add “▲first hit” and “▲last hit” to the search tool.

Presume the second up arrow should be a down. This is easily achieved by using Find All in Current Document and looking at (and/or jumping to) the first and last line of the results.

This is a convenient feature that is implemented in other text editors. (screenshot)

Can’t tell if this is another request for first/last hit, or next/previous hit. If next/previous, then menu items and hotkeys F3/Shift+F3 already exist for it.

When the search window is active, you must click the editor window once to activate it in order to overwrite the file (Ctrl + s).

Yes. Do you understand the concept of “input focus”? The keys that work when the editor window has focus do not (in general) work when other windows have focus.

Immediately after startup, you cannot create an empty file with “Ctrl + S”.

This is a fairly common “complaint” and it isn’t a big issue. I mean, you’re going to put data in fairly soon, right? If you have to save it like right now immediately, type one character and then you’ll be able to save.

It would be nice to have a shortcut key to reload the file.

The default is Ctrl+r which is pretty clear from the File menu.

@Андрей-Максимов

File->Restore recent closed file (CTRL+SHIFT+T) maybe this can help?

Hello guy038,

Many thanks!

By default, the files are sorted by view ( 2nd view first ) and by their ID number ( from 0, I presume )

After a first click on the Name header, all files are sorted alphabetically, in ascending order

After a second click on the Name header, all files are sorted alphabetically, in descending order

After a third click on the Name header, all files are sorted, again, according to the default !

And so on …

So, I guess, the files cannot be moved manually, e.g. by dragging a single file to another position.

Great! Thank you very much for the plugin, looks very good. I just will installed it.

It is already fixed, it has allowed me to update, you can close this thread.
Thank you very much.

Now sucess, very thanks guy038 and all… Take care.

As a follow-on, this decade-old SO answer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4265748/search-in-html-source-with-google gives some links to search engines that are designed to look at the HTML code, not just the text; I don’t know if any of them are still around, but it’s worth a try.

Hello, @abdekker, @ekopalypse and All,

The present N++ alphabetic sort simply rearranges the characters according to the value of their Unicode code-point. Refer to the list, below, to get all the existing code-points, from the latest Unicode version :

http://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/NamesList.txt

And to this article which explains the format of that list

So, for instance, this list of characters :

Char Code ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 0009 0020 " 0022 “ 201C ” 201D - 002D — 2014 _ 005F 0 0030 Ø 00D8 9 0039 A 0041 a 0061 Ă 0102 B 0042 b 0062 þ 00FE β 03B2 Б 0411 E 0045 e 0065 Ě 011A € 20AC ∑ 2211 ℮ 212E fi FB01 ℓ 2113 O 004F o 006F ö 00F6 Œ 0152 θ 03B8 Ѳ 0472 T 0054 t 0074 τ 03C4 ŧ 0167 ‡ 2021 Ỳ 1EF2 ‰ 2030 ∆ 2206 ∞ 221E

is alphabetically sorted as :

Char Code ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 0009 0020 " 0022 - 002D 0 0030 9 0039 A 0041 B 0042 E 0045 O 004F T 0054 _ 005F a 0061 b 0062 e 0065 o 006F t 0074 Ø 00D8 ö 00F6 þ 00FE Ă 0102 Ě 011A Œ 0152 ŧ 0167 β 03B2 θ 03B8 τ 03C4 Б 0411 Ѳ 0472 Ỳ 1EF2 — 2014 “ 201C ” 201D ‡ 2021 ‰ 2030 € 20AC ℓ 2113 ℮ 212E ∆ 2206 ∑ 2211 ∞ 221E fi FB01

You may think that is would be good to have an option to get, for instance, the Unicode collation mechanism, as below :

http://www.unicode.org/charts/collation/

However, countries use different sorting conventions, even for countries using the same Latin alphabet. Refer to this article :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabetical_order#Language-specific_conventions

So, in the end, the simple task of sorting letters is quite a puzzle if you want to take into account the specificities of each language and country !

In the meanwhile, here is a solution, involving regular expressions :

From this initial list, containing 45 French words :

foret Forer forêt Cote Côte côtelée côté Côtière cotée là La prairie A à près pré Premier gare Gîte giter Gorge Où ou Règne renne Aigüe aïeul Ôté ôter flûte Batir bâton Canoë Été île Reflet régner Ilote ångström Âpreté à-propos Escale étude offense Odyssée

After running the Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending option, we get :

A Aigüe Batir Canoë Cote Côte Côtière Escale Forer Gorge Gîte Ilote La Odyssée Où Premier Reflet Règne aïeul bâton cotée côtelée côté flûte foret forêt gare giter là offense ou prairie près pré renne régner Âpreté Été Ôté à à-propos ångström étude île ôter

Obviously, as a Frenchman, this sorting seems rather awful to sight and make the words’s search really not easy !

Now, let’s take again, our initial list and duplicate all words, in each line, with the simple regex S/R :

SEARCH (?-s).+

REPLACE $0\t\t\t\t\t$0

So, the list is changed into :

foret foret Forer Forer forêt forêt Cote Cote Côte Côte côtelée côtelée côté côté Côtière Côtière cotée cotée là là La La prairie prairie A A à à près près pré pré Premier Premier gare gare Gîte Gîte giter giter Gorge Gorge Où Où ou ou Règne Règne renne renne Aigüe Aigüe aïeul aïeul Ôté Ôté ôter ôter flûte flûte Batir Batir bâton bâton Canoë Canoë Été Été île île Reflet Reflet régner régner Ilote Ilote ångström ångström Âpreté Âpreté à-propos à-propos Escale Escale étude étude offense offense Odyssée Odyssée

Now, with the next regex S/R, we change, only in the first coluimn :

Any accentuated vowel to its corresponding lowercase vowel

Any uppercase consonant to its corresponding lowercase letter

SEARCH (?-i)(?:([[=A=]])|([[=E=]])|([[=I=]])|([[=O=]])|([[=U=]])|([[=Y=]])|([A-Z]))(?=.*\t)

REPLACE (?1a)(?2e)(?3i)(?4o)(?5u)(?6y)(?7\l\7)

foret foret forer Forer foret forêt cote Cote cote Côte cotelee côtelée cote côté cotiere Côtière cotee cotée la là la La prairie prairie a A a à pres près pre pré premier Premier gare gare gite Gîte giter giter gorge Gorge ou Où ou ou regne Règne renne renne aigue Aigüe aieul aïeul ote Ôté oter ôter flute flûte batir Batir baton bâton canoe Canoë ete Été ile île reflet Reflet regner régner ilote Ilote angstrom ångström aprete Âpreté a-propos à-propos escale Escale etude étude offense offense odyssee Odyssée

Now, after a new Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending action, we get this list :

a A a à a-propos à-propos aieul aïeul aigue Aigüe angstrom ångström aprete Âpreté batir Batir baton bâton canoe Canoë cote Cote cote Côte cote côté cotee cotée cotelee côtelée cotiere Côtière escale Escale ete Été etude étude flute flûte forer Forer foret foret foret forêt gare gare gite Gîte giter giter gorge Gorge ile île ilote Ilote la La la là odyssee Odyssée offense offense ote Ôté oter ôter ou Où ou ou prairie prairie pre pré premier Premier pres près reflet Reflet regne Règne regner régner renne renne

Finally, here is our final expected, well sorted, list of words, with the simple regex S/R :

SEARCH ^.+\t

REPLACE Leave EMPTY

A à à-propos aïeul Aigüe ångström Âpreté Batir bâton Canoë Cote Côte côté cotée côtelée Côtière Escale Été étude flûte Forer foret forêt gare Gîte giter Gorge île Ilote La là Odyssée offense Ôté ôter Où ou prairie pré Premier près Reflet Règne régner renne

Of course, in this first approach, I did not include the accented consonants as well as the Æ, Œ, æ, œ characters but I suppose that you’ll get the general idea !

The fine side of this method is that if the first column is identical, between several raws, the sort still acts onto the second field ;-)). For instance :

cote Cote cote Côte cote côté
