I assume it isn’t there because it is normally handled by the current lexer in use.
A plugin which exposes the scintilla api like python script, lua script, nppexec…
can be used to hack into this. Let me know if you want to go this way
and whether you use one of the mentioned plugins already.
Ah, at some point I must have unmapped F1. Looking at a default install, F1 is tied to “About Notepad++”. Activating “About Notepad++” via the mouse (on the ‘?’ menu) (with random highlighted) invokes the Easter Egg functionality, so it appears it is tied to that function rather than only the keystroke.
there is no setting to change the behavior of SCI_BACKTAB you need to change the code.
Whether there is another solution depends on what exactly you try to achieve.
If you want to fix it and require a more detail explanation please let me know.
the issue itself has been already opened and is labeled as enhancement but as said, I don’t know if Don will spend more time in investigation and fixing.
Personally I think it doesn’t make much sense but who knows, maybe he will do it.
