Hello, @meтe-ялчынкая and All,

Very easy with regular expressions or bookmarks !

A) With bookmarks :

Open the Mark dialog ( Ctrl + M )

SEARCH #

Untick all the options

Tick the Bookmark line option

Tick the Wrap around option

Click on the Mark All button

Then, run the menu option Search > Bookmark > Remove Bookmarked Lines

B) With regular expressions ( faster ! )

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

SEARCH (?-s)^.*#.*\R

REPLACE Leave EMPTY

Untick all the options

Tick the Wrap around option

Click on the Replace All button

The search regex searches, from beginning of line ( ^ ) for any range of standard characters, even none ( .* ), followed with a # char, and again, with any range of standard characters, even none( .* ), till the EOL characters of current line ( \R )

Best regards

@PeterJones I have tried to follow your advice. But, in my last installation of notepad++, no “C:\Users\cyril\AppData\notepad++”
has been created.

%AppData% has a precise meaning, and the path you showed indicates that you need to read the FAQ on the subject

The other possibility is that you have a portable version rather than an installed version, in which case, shortcuts.xml would go in the portable folder. I doubt that’s your setup, but if you’re unsure, post your ?-menu’sDebug Info.

But I still think my original instructions apply, and that you just misinterpreted the windows variable

@PeterJones Thank you so much. You are right, I was that used to create notes with notepad++, I couldn’t realize that it has become my default note. I’m sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your reply. Everything is fine.

@Cyrille-Piatecki-0 ,

You already asked that , and I already answered.

Reply to that thread if the answer wasn’t sufficient

For polish he should use ISO 8859-2 (Eastern European), but nowadays I would rather recommend UTF-8.

@PeterJones and everyone else —

Looks good, thanks!

Thanks for the heads up on the Edit Popup ContextMenu!
My issue was the reverse of the OP’s in that the “Search on Internet” item was in the “On Selection” but not in the popup menu. The cause being the missing menu item in an older config file not over-written due to an other (resolved) issue.

@Ekopalypse said in How to Find a Line Number in Notepad++ (Search and Find shortcut):

Do you mean the standard goto line dialog?
Search->Go to

@Vasile-Caraus said:

Can I use a shortcut?

Additional notes:

pressing Ctrl+g will invoke it (there’s your shortcut!) double-clicking this area (the part highlighted in yellow) of the status bar will invoke it:

@PeterJones I take a long time to thank you for your help because I have a lot of problem with Jsxgraph … Nevertheless I have followed your advices and it seems to work correctly.

Something similar to this has been discussed recently on
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/20755/syntax-highlighting-works-for-a-time-then-irreproducibly-bleeds-only-restarting-npp-fixes-it/10
Perhaps you may find some help there.

Thank you both. Thanks to the above 2 syntax I can rely on it to find any email address with a domain that I need. Since I very often use it to find emails on drive D or E. Previously this work took me quite a lot of time and trouble. Once again thank you 2

@PeterJones Thank you SOOO much!

Thank you @PeterJones for your quick reply and for confirming that it’s a Windows “feature”!
I thought that I missed to change something in my Notepad++ configuration, that’s why I asked.

As this is my “work” laptop (and the JumpList is working fine for np++ for “normal” files) I don’t want to install too many tools - only those I can justify that I need them for my work. ;)
E.g. the plugins for xml and json - they are great!

Thanks again!

@Tak-Li

That is currently (where currently = up to and including 7.9.5) not possible.

The workaround is to let it go “too far” and then press Ctrl+z and then Ctrl+Shift+z.
This will “undo” the most recent replacement (the one you wanted to stop at) and then “redo” the replacement (and leave the caret at the location of the replacement).

Hello, @donniel-collera, @peterjones, @alan-kilborn and All,

May be do this quick task, described in the post, below, just to verify if your keyboard parameters are OK ;-))

How to insert Carriage Return “CR” before “LF” at the end of each line ?

They are probably already there and you need to do exactly nothing to insert them.

If you are “unconfident” that Notepad++ is doing this for you, press the “Pilcrow” toolbar button…the one with this symbol on it:

1096d341-751b-4d14-aa13-0890190fc3da-image.png

In the Notepad++ toolbar, it is blue in color, not black.

With that toolbar button in the depressed state, you will see the CR and LF in a Windows file, example:

c1a3ed68-2955-43f0-98dd-669c5a52e220-image.png

Since experimenting further with the AutohotKey UDL I have found that this syntax “bleeding” can be limited / minimised / corrected by adding a space to the end of lines (I normally am a heavy user of tabs) especially those lines which seem to end a certain type of highlighting e.g. comments or lines with delimited strings in them.

I also made another discovery, that a tab can be used as a delimiter in UDL. You can enter it by pressing Control+Tab between 2 spaces e.g. ((space tab space EOL)).

Hi, @n_antiyou and All,

As I said in my previous post, you may mix some styles, from the 5 styles, available by default, to get other colors, in order to color all your keywords !

Refer to this post by @Claudia-Frank, who, unfortunately, is no longer active on this forum ! Her contribution was quite important and she provided quantity of excellent Python scripts, too ! Let’s wish her the best and good coding moments ;-))

https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/27621

With the help of the NppQCP plugin ( Quick Color Plugin ), I built up a Word image which recapitulates the main style combinations, with significant colors and their RGB coordinates

It appears an issue on this was opened on github, but the author of Notepad++ closed it, citing not enough information. I’m not sure what more information people that this happens to could provide – I mean, you open the program and expect to see a reasonable UI, and you see…well, something like the above. Not sure what more there is to provide.

Anyway, here’s the issue I mentioned: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/9760

@Paul-Huggins ,

Nope. That is not happening at all.

If you have saved the file, then close and re-open the file in Notepad++, and you see your changes, then the file has been written to disk in the path it claims it was saved to.

I can think of two things that might be happening:

You might be editing an INI file that lives within %Windir%\System or one of its equivalents, in which case you have likely hit the Windows OS’ File System Redirector After you save and write the file from Notepad++, maybe the original application was still open and re-wrote the INI file back to the way it thought it should be.
