A nod to @Terry-R for the use of \h rather than my use of \s to match horizontal whitespace, although the \s actually should work here.

@jason1820 said in comment line open with a character and space:

Nothing works exactly like I wanted.

That was actually the point of the experiments I showed; AFAICT, you cannot trick the UDL engine into requiring a space after the comment start sequence.

did not take effect

Editing NPP config files inside NPP takes a bit of finesse. The best sequence is close all Notepad++ windows, then open one, do the edits, save and exit, then reload for it to take effect. (Not that “adapt[ing] a predefined language for my own” will work; but even a valid change requires that sequence)

This reference may be what @PeterJones was thinking of: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/15970/can-i-make-notepad-auto-replace-a-string

I believe the following demonstrates a quirk in the operation of the matching function for a paren.

I have found no issues yet if the ^continuation character is NOT used.

@Anon-A

Basically you need to see here. And you need to show examples of what you are starting with and what you want to achieve for the different cases you are talking about. Nobody is going to read your mind in order to provide help in answering your questions.

…between <dict> and </dict> in this case or sth else

If your use of sth here is meant to be the word something then I think we can see that you want to put zero effort into asking your questions, so don’t be surprised if nobody wants to put more-than-zero effort in to answer. Don’t treat this site like you are texting.
If this is off-base, then apologies…

I agree. Keyboard shortcuts are not only useful for power users like us, but for people with disabilities who are unable to use the mouse. While users are able to use the tab key, that too is more cumbersome and keyboard shortcuts are widely considered an accessibility standard.

Hello, Happy New Year 2020 ! @guy038 and All,

Thank you for Replay your both solution are work successfully for me.

I would be tempted to search (in regular expression search mode) for (?-is)^https://.+/ and replace with nothing.

I appreciate the suggestion. I did try that plugin, and while it’s nice to be able to filter the open files by name, it doesn’t allow rearranging (reordering) the list as far as I can tell.
The name filter has very limited helpfulness when you work with so many files, because remembering many file names and typing them is really not practical. Come to think of it, the Doc panel, the Windows panel, and the “Navigate To” panel all suffer from the same issue - the list can’t be reordered. That’s really the issue.

When I add say another 20 files to the already 100 opened files, I’d like to move those last 20 somewhere up in the list…

This is getting old…fast.
