    Hello, @alx-fs and All, Assuming that, in Settings > Preferences... > MISC. dialog, the options Enable and Enable MRU behaviour, of the Document Switcher(Ctrl+TAB) part, are set, then, if several tabs exist in a single instance of Notepad++, you can switch between the last two accessed tabs, with the Ctrl + Tab shortcut, … in a similar way you would use Alt + Tab to switch between two instances of N++ ! Best Regards, guy038

    @Scott-Sumner Thank-you for the Windows 7 data point. Confirmed the 7.5.7 tab behavior change across all of our Windows 10 systems–versions 1607 and 1803. We are not experiencing any issues with 7.5.6 and will simply postpone our application upgrade.

    @randomeer said: Search mode is set at extended. You want Regular expression search mode for this technique, not Extended.

    Hi, @andrew-clark, @scott-sumner, @claudia-frank and All Ah :-(( I should have tested my idea of changing (?-s) into (?s), before posting. Actually, in case of multi-lines range of characters, between parentheses, the suitable regex S/R is , rather : SEARCH (\([^()]+?\))|\x20 REPLACE \1 Hope it’s the right one, this time :-D Cheers guy038

    @Ramiro-Tell If I’m interpreting your request correctly, then putting the line below in contextMenu.xml will do what you want for ONE of the blank operations. Not sure if there is a way to get them ALL at once with a single line… anyway, easy enough to add n lines like this for the n functions you frequently use from blank-operations: <Item MenuEntryName = "Edit" MenuItemName = "Trim Trailing Space" FolderName = "Blank Ops -->" ItemNameAs = "NUKE Trailing spaces" /> Yields the following in the right-click context menu: [image: W5uUvFT.png]

    @Vismund-Cygnus How about closing any open clipboard file first before running your “function that saves clipboard text to a file”? Seems like a lot of your problem would then not exist?

    Confirm I see the issue you’re describing in 7.5.7 (unsaved changes cause clones to de-link). This is definitely part of my problem. But I just realized my issue with find-in-files opening a new de-linked copy is due to windows junctions. I’d somehow opened the files with the actual location then was searching via the junction folder. Notepad++ probably has no way of knowing it’s a symbolic link to the same file. Symlinks are trouble. :/

    @Andrey-Evgrafov it’s been a while since using windows but I’m in doubt that you can create a link from np.exe to notepad++.exe with additional parameters provided to notepad++ exe, can’t you? mklink c:\windows\system32\np.exe “c:\program files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe” should work as long as np.exe is not the internal MS notepad because as far as I’m aware MS protects it default application since Windows 10. But as already said, I’m not up to date anymore - maybe it is working again. Hopefully enough info to get your problem solved. Cheers Claudia

    @Rodrigez-Yaves All 32-bit versions of Notepad++ support TextFX AFAIK. Maybe you are running 64-bit N++, in which case I don’t think TextFX exists?

    Thanks for the suggestion. After the usual searching Google and finding useless answers, screaming, throwing the computer out the window, etc, I rebooted Windows. Problem mysteriously went away. Arrggh!

    Seems as I was even more clueless than I thought. I totally forgot about adding the ending to the file by hand. It has worked now. Thanks a lot

    Hi, menu and choice name will not be accurate in my answer because I’m not on an English installation, but I guess it will be close enough to open all files with a given extension with Notepad++ by double click, right click on such a file in the file explorer, choose properties, and select Notepad++ as the application for opening (you might need to give the full path to the binary). To tell Notepad++ to apply a language to an extension, go to menu list Parameters, choose Syntax coloration, select the target language in the panel, and type your extension in the fields on the bottom (on my install only two choices). And then of course save and apply.
