XButton1 - 4th mouse button. Typically performs the same function as Browser_Back.
XButton2 - 5th mouse button. Typically performs the same function as Browser_Forward.

So NPP cycles back through tabs on both Browser_back event and Xbutton1 event. I didn’t find any option to disable or change it. If it bothers, you can use Autohotkey script to change this button, or block completely with this script:

#If winActive("ahk_exe notepad++.exe") XButton1::return

Hello, @олег-выползов,

Just one question :

When you just mouse select this string $c_word, in current file, do you see, in the status bar, at the bottom of N++ window, the indication Sel 7|1 ?

If you get a value above 7, this would mean that the string $c_word, itself, contains one or several invisible chars !

Best Regards,

guy038

sorry, both regex are working fine. Thank you very much.

From my vague knowledge of LSP (I’ve run across the term a few times, but never used an LSP-enabled system), I think that’s one of the problems that LSP addresses, but I’m not sure.

exactly, the goal is to have the “language” responsible to provide such information
instead of reinventing the wheel by every editor. LSP defines just the protocol how
a communication of a client and a server has to work, the editor implements
the client part whereas some other instance provides the server part.

@Harlan-Nguyen ,

@Eko-palypse answered your initial question, which is probably a reasonable answer.

But really, this forum is focused on the Notepad++ editor-specific aspects of using Notepad++. It’s not a general “help me debug whatever it is I am using Notepad++ to edit” forum. This is explained with the humorous example of baking cookies in this FAQ.

@Mathieu-Chapoton / @Alan-Kilborn,

Yes, Npp Compare Plugin does display blank lines for lines that don’t exist; for example:

Imgur

Those lines aren’t really there in the file; the plugin just shows the blank lines to line things up visually.

@Anthony-Doshi ,

@Terry-R answered your immediate question, but if you have further search-and-replace (regex) needs, you can study this FAQ and the documentation it points to. Before asking a new regex question, understand that for future requests, many of us will expect you to show what data you have (exactly), what data you want (exactly), what regex you already tried (to show that you’re showing effort), why you thought that regex would work (to prove it wasn’t just something randomly typed), and what data you’re getting with an explanation of why that result is wrong. When you show that effort, you’ll see us bend over backward to get things working for you. If you need help formatting the data so that the forum doesn’t mangle it (so that it shows “exactly”, as I said earlier), see this help-with-markdown post, where @Scott-Sumner gives a great summary of how to use Markdown for this forum’s needs.
Please note that for all “regex” queries – or queries where you want help “matching” or “marking” or “bookmarking” a certain pattern, which amounts to the same thing – it is best if you are explicit about what needs to match, and what shouldn’t match, and have multiple examples of both in your example dataset. Often, what shouldn’t match helps define the regular expression as much or more than what should match.

@Stanislav-Elvenisko-Hoferek
I’m not sure what your second post was meant to say. Did you even try that?

My suggestion is start with 1 file opened in NPP and test what I provide. If it works the same method can also work on a bunch of files using the other tab of the Replace function called “Find in Files”.
So
Find What:(SOME_COMMON_CONTENT_BEGINNING:)(.+?)(:SOME_COMMON_CONTENT_end)
Replace With:\1anything\3
This is using your terminology. Up to you to replace the strings SOME_COMMON_CONTENT_BEGINNING:
anything and
:SOME_COMMON_CONTENT_end
with what your actual data is. Note I did bracket the text we will replace (.+?), this is not necessary, but it won’t change the result.

plugin is making the trouble.

@Richard-Cranium

not 100% sure but are you looking for a regular expression like this ?
(?s)class="Action1".*?(?=</property)

ok thx for the info, i appreciate it

@Ronald-Fischer

you can set the smart highlighting colours, which are used if you double click on a word, here:

settings > style configurator > global styles > smart highlighting and set the background colour from green to your prefered highlighting colour.
