I guess that this patch would not have much objection.
Since I have multiple patches that some of them will encounter objection I didn’t try to submit anything to mainline.

Not sure exactly what are your expectation from the scenario you described and what will be the results but my guess is that when a document is moved to another view the source view should choose another document and that will probably happen using the same code I patched so this decision will be based on MRU ordering rather than tab ordering.

@Pat-Chown

Well, it is pretty difficult from your description to tell exactly what you want to do, but a Find-what box value (for a regex search) that will match into group #1 the multi-line data delimited by the ~'s would be: \d{6}\s~(?s)(.+?)~

Hopefully this is of some help to you. If not, feel free to describe your situation a bit more. :-)

Recent file history has not been showing…Use to always be on left.

Perhaps you mean the Doc Switcher ? It isn’t a “recent file history”, it’s a list of all currently open files and it can be wherever you put it, but maybe its default location is on the left (that’s what made me think that you might be talking about that–mine is on the left currently).

If Doc Switcher is what you are looking for, enable it at Settings (menu) -> Preferences… -> General (box on left) -> Document List Panel (box) -> Show checkbox. I’m not at all sure why it is named differently in the Preferences than what it shows on its window (“Document List Panel” versus “Doc Switcher”)!

recently opened files do not open/show after starting NotePad++

I think the setting you are looking for here is in Settings (menu) -> Preferences… -> Backup (box on left) -> Remember current session for next launch checkbox.

V7.3.3 ERROR ：ScintillaEditView::init:CreateWindowEx() function return null
V7.4.2 ERROR：ScintillaEditView::init : SCINTILLA ERROR - Can not load the dynamic library

Exactly. I’m trying to delete the post, but it won’t let me.

It’s strange, though, because I could’ve sworn I checked to see if that was the issue yesterday and it never worked :/

It works now nonetheless, so w/e

My fault, typping bad. It works as expected!

Missing the (?2 before the second replace.

Thank you for your help.

Merci beaucoup, guy038, I think this is a valuable supplement to the tutorial! I am going to work it out. Best regards, Jos Maas

@savage-roar

nothing built-in but with a technique like described here it could be done.

@George-Bizas

one way would be to set it like prefixed keywords.

Minor edit to the above:

Here’s SelectedTextOccurrenceCountInStatusBar.py:

should have been:

It is certainly easy enough to get rid of your comments, but it seems as if you’d want to end up with TWO versions of your file–one with comments (your worked hard to put the comments in, why not retain them!), and one without comments. Thus it might be wise to do a “Save A Copy As…” or “Save As…” and then remove the comments from the copy.

As to removing the comments, a simple regular expression Replace-All operation should suffice:

Find-what box: (?s)#.+?#
Replace-with box: make sure this box is empty!
Search mode: Regular expression

You didn’t say if your comments could span lines or not, so the regular expression allows this (the (?s) part). Otherwise, the expression looks for a # character, followed by one or more characters (the .+? part), followed by another #. It replaces any matches with nothing effectively deleting the comment.

You could record the Replace-All part as a macro, certainly. However, if you like the save-a-copy part, that doesn’t lend itself to macro-izing too well.

If this (or ANY) posting was useful, don’t post a “thanks”, just upvote ( click the ^ in the ^ 0 v area on the right ).

@hexsha

for me it isn’t clear what you trying to do. As you started your post with hallo
I assume you are German so maybe you wanna describe in German what your goal is?

@Jeppe-Porse-Johnsen

might be that the used font has been corrupted.
Try another font by using Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles->Global Override
check enable global font and choose a different font.
You should see the result immediately.

For commands, like merge in file and save selection to disk, that aren’t in NPP, I use the spectacularly good keyboard macro language: Autohotkey (autohotkey.com). It is a real scripting language and can be as simple or complex as you want. I have over 1,000 lines of AHK code. And, naturally, you can make each macro be specific to whatever program, NPP or whatever, that is active.

@Richdev-Boston

I assume you are looking for $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) variable.
In addition, you might want to execute python in a cmd instance with paramter /K
to see the output.

cmd /K python $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)

But there is an alternative which offers additional features.
I’ve posted it here.
