Michael and Peter, thanks we’ll look in to that

Hi, @alan-kilborn and All,

No, just a personal presentation, in a Word document, of some parts of this article that I made some years ago, to fully understand the UTF-8 encoding ;-))

My first table is simply the extension to the complete UTF-8 encoding of the Unicode table, seen here, which is able to encode all the Unicode characters ( 1,114,112 )

With the complete UTF-8 encoding, up to six bytes, it can represent up to 134,217,728 characters ( so from U+0 to U+7FFFFFF )

As you can see, no problem for UTF-8 to encode all characters used in the different inhabited worlds of the galaxy !!!

And my second table is simply an other presentation of this one, on Wikipedia

I started to test the plugins as you said.

But something told me that the problem is with one of the Npp* plugins.

After remove all and reinstall them one by one, I discovered the cause of the problem, the NppCalc plugin.

This plugin is responsible for evaluating different expressions in Notepad++.

After it is installed, it remains “active” by default.

To turn it off, you have to unmark its “Active Calc” menu option or pressing “Ctrl + Shift + C”.

Reading its description again, it is written:

Evaluate expressions in Notepad++. ... Q: How does this work? A: Just type function name and press Enter!

So, if the line has something that can be interpreted as an expression, it evaluates it after you press <ENTER> and shows the result as a new line.

For example, a line without commas and with just the period in the sentence will not be evaluated. Otherwise, it will be read as an expression.

Well,

I can’t remember when and why I installed it, but I think it could be improved by changing the keys to run it or started it inactive after installed.

Thanks for your attention and support.

Cheers!!!

Ah yes, that seems like a useful reference in the manual, and I always prefer to read documentation and learn on my own instead of asking on forms. I actually did a search in the manual for “context menu” before asking here, but it didn’t seem to find anything related at first glance. Now I realize that it only finds the titles of sections that may mention the keword, without highlighting any results.
So the search in the documentation isn’t great, especially for new users who don’t understand how it works and may think that it’s not finding their topic.

And what you said about the command location which has to be contained within a certain code structure, also makes perfect sense.

Thanks again.

@Alan-Kilborn So simple! Alan thank you very much for your time and support.

@Michael-Vincent

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

hello, thanks for answering me. I tried the 32bit version and the translate plugin was already installed. The only thing if I select it or even through the keys alt-ctrl-z after it gives me error and closes the program.
perhaps it is incompatible because it is from 2015
thanks anyway

Another VERY GOOD method to find � or � unicode characters is by using grepWin tool. You have to check the box “treat file as binary” so grepWin won’t try to detect the encoding.

@Ekopalypse ooh, right! appreciate you help

All I can say is Thanks! That works perfectly!

@Alan-Kilborn said in jn Notepad++ Plugin snags shortcuts:

You’d need to contact the author of the plugin to make your opinion known.

т.е. надо уговорить автора плагина jN использовать интерфейс Мапера?
С шорткатами в N++ постоянно проблемы.
Так что мне приходится юзать модифицированный для анализа шорткатов.

@Ekopalypse ,

Nice.

That works well for zero/oh, but not one/ell:

Whereas doing the operators as lowercase a-z will hjelp with one/ell but not zero/oh:

@Alan-Kilborn Yes, you’re right. Thanks for the help @Alan-Kilborn @PeterJones and @guy038

@PeterJones Thanks Peter for the help.

@Alan-Kilborn

Right, I remember guy038 did something like that with regex, but then it’s even more crucial to know the exact layout and a pythonscript might be possible, but I hesitate to think about it or create something without knowing what to do.

@Edmond-Mullins said in lowercase in Notepad:

What must i do to be able to code in lowercase in Notepad++

Perhaps “Caps Lock” is engaged?
And, if so, perhaps some very basic computer skills are lacking?

@Robert-Rapp а если так?

@Juha-Leppäranta ,

That’s a known issue (#9710); they are working on it.
