    Auto-completion popup, perhaps?

    Try the Settings menu and then select Preferences…. Then seek out Auto-Completion :

    Thanks for all the hard work. It seems to be working, just a few minor glitches. But they are probably on my end. Will let you know more as to what I find later on.
    Again, Thanks A Lot

    Alan:
    Thanks so much for the response.
    I am using UDL, these languages have the extensions configured etc.
    However, I took the parser and put it in like it used to be, changed the id etc…
    for instance:

    <parser displayName="p" id ="pcode.xml" commentExpr="(?m-s:;.*$)" > <function mainExpr="^DEFINE\s+\K\w+" /> </parser>

    I changed the overridemap.xml to contain the following, still no love.

    <association id= "pcode.xml" userDefinedLangName="PCODE" />

    Language definition:

    Any tips…???

    @Alan-Kilborn said in MISC Clickable Links is GONE! How can I turn off links now?:

    Whenever a setting “disappears” from Notepad++'s preferences, try looking around the user-interface.

    ++

    Also, I and the rest of the npp-user-manual.org maintainers do our best to keep the manual up-to-date with the most recent Notepad++ version. The preferences doc gives a thorough description of each “page” of the Settings > Preferences dialog, and even tries to indicate when a given menu entry has been moved. If you search for “click” or “clickable”, you will quickly see where that option currently resides.

    how can i change the red color in this picture?

    You change most colors in Notepad++ in the Style Configurator, found on the Settings menu, so specifically for your case:

    Select a “foreground color” to your liking.

    but not for all Hebrew characters

    but the same characters are fine directly in Npp?
    If so, it could be a problem with the font or with the rendering of the font.
    Are you already using the same font? (Change Console Font from NppExec menu!?)
    If it is a rendering problem, then I doubt it can be solved easily.

    I think forget the browser part of the question as that is off-topic for a Notepad++ forum.

    Did you get the tab character appearing for sure in Notepad++ after your replace operation?

    Best way to tell for sure might be turning on visible whitespace by:
    View menu > Show Symbol > Show White Space and TAB

    and then tab characters will appear like this (orange arrows):

    b6ff66c4-2a0c-417e-a61a-51a0aa8de558-image.png

    But again, this may just be helping you in Notepad++.
    You will have to go elsewhere to find the answer to your browser question.

    The batch lexer is improved in Scintilla 4.4.6 which looks like it may be updated with the next Notepad++ release.

    Cheers.

    @Doug-Ewell said in Dual monitor with different resolutions didn't scale well with latest 7.9.3:

    I’d like to see this as a user setting,

    I did some looking into the change in this in N++ code between 7.9.2 and 7.9.3. It’s something called a “manifest” file change. It’s a build time thing, not a runtime thing, so (with my limited knowledge) I don’t think it could be a “user setting”.

    Hello, @alexandru-tanasa and All,

    Which kind of text or literal text needs to be bold ?

    Which file type are you using ( For instance, a Markdown file with extension md )

    How you presently obtain the change of ‘some_text’ into ‘some_text’ ?

    Note : You can use the </> option to write raw text, in your next post !

    Re: First thanks to @PeterJones, @Alan-Kilborn, @guy038. And sorry again for showing my lack of coding. I am an Electrical Engineer almost 14 years in that filed. Last few years into computer programming learning and studying on my own and one day found notepad++ after that I must say I am addicted to that. Whenever I have problems I refer forums(including notepad++) and study materials. I usually spent a lot of days for finding solution. After everything fails then only I will put my query here. From now onwards I will spend more efforts to studying and understand. @guy038 Dear sir, You are not only providing a solution, Its Love.
    Again all, Sorry for Taken your valuable times and assure you I won’t come again without 100% tried my self after studying the required materials.

    Hello,@Felix-Gladitz
    Please try this command, To Replacing a value with many different values

    Take a look at Sed. You can easily achieve your goal with only one command line

    sed -e “s/Text_1/TextA/” -e “s/Text1/TextB/” <your_file.txt>your_file_new.txt

    I hope this command will be useful to you.
    Thank you.

    Looks like changing name in file item changes also it path. This not happend when we rename folder item. For me it looks like a bug, both the name for folder/file item in list is just a label (which can be changed) but the real source should be indicated by path.

    @Pericles-Christofilopoulos ,

    I would like to know how to make Notepad++ the default program for Windows 10

    I hope you don’t mean “make Notepad++ the default program for all file types in Windows 10” – I would hate to have .bat automatically edit instead of running, or .xlsx files open up as gibberish in Notepad++ instead of opening in my spreadsheet program, or …

    If you mean “make Notepad++ the default program for a given file type in Windows 10”, that seems a much more reasonable request. There are multiple ways to try, depending on how you like doing things, and whether Windows 10 is feeling in a cooperative mood.

    In Windows Explorer, right click, and **Open With…*, setting it as the default for that extension. This will often work, except when it doesn’t. (Sometimes, conflicting background Windows settings will mean it won’t find Notepad++ , even if you navigate right to notepad++.exe; and sometimes, Windows refuses to save that) Open Notepad++ as Administrator, then Settings > Preferences > File Association, and use the -> button to register Notepad++ with the selected file extension(s) Use the registry There are some who like to trick Windows into running Notepad++ anytime that windows would try to run notepad.exe – enough that there’s a section in the usermanual about it … but using the registry to trick Windows into thinking it’s launching a different program seems a foolish thing to do (and seems to me a feature that could be abused by hackers), when you can use the registry to teach Windows to do the right thing

    Personally, plaintext files are the only file type I associate with Notepad++; everything else, I use the Windows RightClick > Edit with Notepad++ entry that you can get when you install Notepad++ (or can manually install).

    Here are some other posts on similar queries I have participated in; these other topics might help you with problems you run into while fighting the quagmire that is Windows 10 File Association:

    That’s about a year’s worth. Probably far enough back in my search.

    @Nikola ,

    if the border was only white not gray

    Settings > Style Configurator > Language: Global Styles > Style: Fold Margin, change the Background Colour to white (or whatever non-gray color you prefer)

    I wanted to try the trick with Pyton Script plugin but I would need step by step instructions

    Plugins > Plugins Admin: in the Available tab, enable ☑ Python Script and Install. Notepad++ should restart after installing the plugin Plugins > Python Script > Scripts: in the resulting sub-menu, Ctrl+Click on the Startup (user)
    (if you normal-click, it will run the script; ctrl+click will edit the script – you want to edit it) It will open a file in Notepad++. At the end of that file, add the lineseditor1.setMarginLeft(30) editor2.setMarginLeft(30) and save that file. Plugins > Python Script > Configuration…. Change the Initialisation: drop-down to ATSTARTUP, and click OK Exit and restart Notepad++.

    This should set wider margins. If it’s too wide or too narrow, use a smaller or larger number than 30 (bigger number means wider)

    If it doesn’t work for you, show us your ? > Debug Info, and give us screenshots showing your edited startup.py open in Notepad++, and maybe with the Plugins > Python Script > Show Console showing, so we can see if there are any unexpected error messages
