@Darren-Hoyland , The User Defined Language Collection lists “Fanuc”, and taking a quick look, it does seem to have GCODE-like codes, so I’m guessing that’s what you want. The UDL Collection’s README has a section on using a UDL from the Collection: my recommendation is to install my “CollectionInterface” plugin, which makes it really easy to install UDLs from the Collection; but the README also includes manual instructions.

I unzipped the v6.9.2, and looked a bit: docMonitor was one of Don’s old plugins that he didn’t bother continuing development on when he moved Notepad++ from sourceforge to GitHub, because the feature of updating files every few seconds is already built into Notepad++, even in the old v6.9.2. DSpellCheck.dll and SpellChecker.dll are two different spell-checker plugins. There’s no reason to have both. DSpellCheck allows either the Hunspell dictionary, or the Aspell dictionary (which is what ShellChecker.dll uses), or Windows’ built in spell-checking files (which is what Word and similar use). There’s no reason to have both, even in the old v6.9.2. It is possible to add a keyboard shortcut to any of NppTextFX commands – use the Settings > Shortcut Mapper, go to Plugin Commands, and look for the TextFX command (like Convert quotes to "), and you can Modify those to have a keystroke for that single command I verified that even the most-recent NppUISpy here has the 32-bit version (..._UNI.zip) which, if you unzip the DLL into your plugins directory, will allow you to use UISpy even on your old Notepad++. And I confirmed that the macro syntax was enough the same that the FAQ’s section on manually editing the macro will allow you to embed for example, for my portable v6.9.2, with the plugins I installed, UISpy told me TextFX > TextFX Characters > Convert quotes to ’ was at 22030 (it will almost certainly be at a different ID for you, because I didn’t grab all the same plugins that you had). But for me, I could then have a macro that would do the Select All then Convert quotes to ’ with the following macro source: <Macro name="AllSingleQuote" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0"> <Action type="0" message="2013" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="22030" lParam="0" sParam="" /> </Macro> so after saving that, and restarting Notepad++, I had a new macro which would correctly run the NppTextFX command. So it’s possible to do what you want in Notepad++ v6.9.2. But I still highly recommend uninstalling the outdated, insecure version, grab the most recent 64-bit version, and bring yourself into the 2020s.

@Thorin-Schmidt , That sounds similar to Issue #18093, where the seemingly-random unfolding was happening for a UDL instead of for Python. In that issue, it’s because of the presence of a comment in the second block (but my experiment below shows that’s not the case for the python folding… at least, not the sole cause) I don’t know if it’s related or not. Can you share a small piece of code (maybe 3 blocks long) that shows the problem if that’s all you have in the file? For example, I cannot replicate your problem with def first(): more() return def more(): # commented pass def most(): first() more() return I will have to manually fold every. single. function Well, that’s the easy part. Alt+0 folds everything with one keystroke (the default keystroke for View > Fold All).

@xomx thanks a bunch

@PeterJones Thank you very much.

@rspeicher452 , If you’re always on that screen for that laptop, I would recommend changing Settings > Style Configurator > Language: Global Styles > Style: Default Style to use a bigger font size for the text, so that you don’t have to change the zoom. (The “zoom” feature was designed to be temporary, whereas setting the Default Style font size was designed as the perment way to set text size)

@deleelee , As I said there, the plugin needs to be fixed and a new version released. It’s not a config file for the end user.

@PeterJones Thanks again. I think I’d need to do that myself to learn it fully, bit like you can’t learn to drive from a book… I wish I’d asked about this years ago! I periodically create these files which may start with 2 or 3000 lines and end up with around 1500 lines after exact dupes are removed. I then compare with CTRL ALT C with the compare plugin to the master file which is about 16K lines. I then manually add completely new lines if found to the master file. And any that have the 2 letter in the new file that aren’t in the master file, I add though two letters in to the master. Having these lines in the new file: G7ODA,IO93WS, G7ODA,IO93WS,PE, Does tend to confuse the compare plugin so this will make life easier for me! thanks again

Hello, @pellelin, @mpheath, and All, Oh…, @pellelin, in my previous post, I forgot to mention confidentiality and sensitive information. Of course, I completely understand why you don’t want to send me your summary file! However, if you could send me an example — even a shorter one, with any personal information removed — I’m sure I could find a suitable replacement, using regular expressions ! I only need the text’s formatting / text’s frame, not the words themselves . BR guy038

@Taras-Tkachenko , No version of Notepad++ has such a button on the tabs bar. There is one on the far right of the menu bar (beyond the ? menu): [image: 1780441214049-dbd16aed-078a-4380-be71-254794b615fc-image.jpeg] That one can be turned off using Settings > Prefeerences > General, where there’s a setting ☐ Hide right shortcuts ＋ ▼ ✕ from the menu bar – if you checkmark that, and restart, then it will hide those three symbols. Notepad++ never sets that option by default, so maybe you accidentally set it at some point. If it’s checkmarked, just uncheckmark it, and restart, and those three buttons will be back. But, again, Notepad++ doesn’t have a similar button on the tabbar (and never has). You can, however, double-click to the right of the tabs, and it will create a new tab without needing to find the symbol [image: 1780441370585-7b98eeb8-54c3-49c2-bb2c-1ca8c9df8891-image.jpeg] User Manual on related topics: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#general https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/user-interface/#tabs

@PeterJones - Yes! It works that way for me, too. That’s the magic bullet - have Windows to add it to the Open With list, which triggers creating the file in AutomaticDestinations\ which will then start collecting file names. I now have my jump list back. Thanks for helping me puzzle this through. I have a few files that I use daily and this makes my work flow much more efficient.

@jabcreations said: The only “people” using 800x600 these days are bots. That’s an absurd exaggeration. Whether or not there’s anyone on 800x600, there are plenty of people still using 1920x1080 monitors. (In case you don’t believe me, per April 2026 Steam HW/SW survey, more than 50% of Steam users are running at 1920x1080. So it’s still reasonable behavior for more than half of users – and that’s skewed toward gamers, who are more likely to have “fancy” tech; I am confident that in general, even higher percentage is still using 1920x1080.) Did I miss something or does this need to be a feature request? Could it be improved for 4K users? Likely (I’ve never used a 4K monitor, so I have no experience). There’s a long-open set of 4K issues in the official tracker, and it wouldn’t surprise me if this were already one of the open issues remaining… You might want to search the 4K issues in the repo to see if it already exists. But in the meantime, what’s your OS display scaling set to. Normally, with 4K, it’s somewhere in the 150% to 200%, IIRC from other posts. But if you’re at 100%, then of course GUI elements will be tiny.

@peterjones Yes, mostly the issue is for end user. Thanks for complete explanation!

@smcclosr said: Not 100% user if this version addressed this specific issue, It almost definitely did not. The changes between 8.9.6 and 8.9.6.1, as announced in the forum and by looking at the git-diff at GitHub, were completely related to vulnerability fixes (COPYDATASTRUCT, removing commandLineInterpreter hidden config file option, and making it harder for saved-Run-menu entries from shortcuts.xml to run apps from non-approved directories), and do not seem in any way related to OneDrive. (And least, I don’t see how any of them could affect saving of files to OneDrive) My guess was the change in v8.9.6 that changed behavior relative to v8.9.5 was the “saving dirty read-only files” fix (but that’s just a guess… and it wasn’t changed/reverted in v8.9.6.1, so that doesn’t seem a plausible explanation for your experience.) but it is resolved for me now. Hopefully it stays that way. Good luck.

Thank You Everyone for your Time and Effort.

@PeterJones Thanks!

@guy038 Just to say, I tried your solution in native N++ for kicks, and it worked! So kudos for an elegant idea. :)

Hello, @balancedcircular, @terry-r, @coises and All, I suppose that the following regex S/R should be close to what you want ! I consider the entire line because you may have other lines with attributes Name and/or Comments FIND (?-si)^(<RectangularPart Version=.+ Name=")\d\d\d (.+/.).+?(\d")(.+ Comments=").+(?=>) REPLACE $1$2$3$4$2$3 As @coises said, try this global replacement on a copy of your file ! If everything works as expected, I’ll explain you, next time, how all the regex syntax means ! Best Regards, guy038 I almost forgot the last line of your post. To simultaneously search for any of the three words Rafter, C.Tie and Web, simply use the regex (?-i)Rafter|C\.Tie|Web
