@Mario-Valle ,

As far as I know, there isn’t a native way in Notepad++ to change the tab setting on a per-UDL basis.

That would be nice, and in theory, you could put in a feature request. Unfortunately, the UDL system doesn’t often get bug fixes, let alone feature requests.

However, there may be a workaround; the underlying Scintilla library has a SCI_SETTABWIDTH message, which you can access through a variety of means, including the PythonScript plugin (editor.setTabWidth(2) will change it to two spaces per tab). With some logic, you could write a PythonScript that determines whether the active editor is editing a BiBTeX-UDL-based file, and if so, run that PythonScript setting. If you have PythonScript, or are willing to install it, someone here should be able to give you pointers on how to implement that logic.

<edit> You might also need to change SCI_SETTABINDENTS, depending on your Settings > Preferences > Language > Tab Settings > [Default] settings </edit>

@Joshua-Barbour ,

Notepad++ is a text editor. It is often used to edit underlying code, but you have to rely on something else (another application, or at least a plugin) to do something with that code.

You don’t mention what kind of code it is. Is it something like a batch file or Python program which runs using an interpreter? Is it code like c/c++ that needs to be compiled? Is it HTML, which needs to be rendered using a browser? All of those would have a possible answer which might or might not make you happy, but since you give no clue as to which it is, your question is virtually impossible to answer.

I have managed to do it. :)
Thanks anyway.

Thank you very much the information.
I solved it.

You don’t. You use the View menu choices:

If you have a more-specialized need (e.g., different browser?), post again.

No data changed

I am referring to this

The order of the lines changed and some text was missing, namely Price - which showed on the first line immediately behind chinttt.

I am thinking that English is not your primary language as the last sentence you wrote i thinks its going more comple will find another, I do not understand. If you are still having issues, explain the problem. As you supplied some “real data” which allowed me to fix the previous problem, maybe you can show further examples where the process did not work and maybe it is still possible to update the solution to accommodate any other need.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Let result lines for text search pattern appear only once even if there are more occurrences?:

change Find what to `foobar(?-s).*

Bit of an error here, in formatting; THIS:

Now, the workaround:

change Find what to `foobar(?-s).* change _Search Mode to Regular expression

SHOULD BE:

Now, the workaround:

change Find what to foobar(?-s).* change Search Mode to “Regular expression”

@PeterJones said in Extend syntax highlighting for a certain language:

That’s a different problem than adding tags to the list of valid tags.

Of course it is - after my success with patching langs.xml in order to colour my invented tags, I wanted to go one step further. Now I know that it’s not possible.

via the script EnhanceAnyLexer.py that @Ekopalypse shares

Interesting, but for my purposes too complicated. So I’m going to stick with my patched langs.xml, this solves the main problem, the rest would just be “nice to have”.

Thank you for your support.

@PeterJones wonders how well the double negative will translate…

That’s one of those idiomatic things that each language treats differently…

@andrecool-68 said in Help me find this menu "open file in browser":

I don’t think we understand each other at all.

I agree.

However, I am just going to drop it, because we both apparently understand how to make it translate both the menu entry and the shortcut mapper entry, even if we don’t like or agree with the way the other of us has tried to explain it.

Total Commander has such an option!

Sorry, @Alan-Kilborn , I cannot replicate.

Hello, @peterjones,

Sorry, I’ve just seen your post where you asked people to verify the N++ official documentation ! I’ll try to have a look, myself, very soon. It would be better to do it before the next release of the website !

But, as I said to Alan, at the moment, my TO DO list, concerning N++ or else, is getting much longer ;-))

Cheers,

@M-Andre-Z-Eckenrode said in How to merge 2 separate lines into 1 line for a numerous amount of data?:

${1}, ${2}

Thank you! This worked.

@PeterJones thank you. I put nativeLang.xml file to %AppData%\Notepad++\ with GPO. My problem solved.

@Tseng-Alvin ,

The reason @rinku-singh asked was because we have seen problems with the re-packaging that sites like portableapps use, causing things to not work.

With Notepad++, there is no reason to risk someone else’s re-packaging, because a portable zip has been made available with every release on the official downloads page.

@Nick-Brown 's regex is problematic for at least 2 more reasons:

it does a greedy search rather than a minimal search, meaning that it will match something like "Number":"12345","23456","34567", fully, not stopping after only matching “one number”, which seems to be what the OP desires

in conjunction with the first point, without specification of whether or not the . should match newlines, this regex could potentially match a lot of lines and a lot of data!

@BernieStn said in Hyperlinks not clickable anymore:

Is this a known issue?

I’m using Notepad++ 7.9 and it does recognise the last two lines as URLs I guess the protocol part of the URL is necessay for Notepad++ detect as a proper URL. Could you please check if you have enabled the option to make links clickable? (https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#misc). Settings > Preferences... > MISC

Also, it may help to post here Notepad++'s Debug info... that is under the ? Menu, and whether you are using any particular theme.

Peter Jones, thank you very much! I found the " / " key on the numeric keypad! Hotkeys a work now :)

Thank You Kindly. Figured it was something simple. Tried everything except that.
