  @Anass-Chawki Check with the shortcut mapper window (Settings->Shortcut Mapper) to see if these shortcuts are still set or whether another app has “stolen” the shortcuts.

  @guy038 Actually (thinking more about it), if you want the Incremental Search or even the Smart Highlighting color to be part of the copy/paste, upon pasting it will lose its temporal nature and becomes permanent! So that’s a way to get a few more colors with this technique! Here’s the info for Smart Highlighting : #define SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_SMART 29 And so, here’s a modification to a section of the “copy special” script to include these: # the following names are from the N++ source code: SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_EXT1 = 25 # Style #1 SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_EXT2 = 24 # Style #2 SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_EXT3 = 23 # Style #3 SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_EXT4 = 22 # Style #4 SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_EXT5 = 21 # Style #5 SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE = 31 # redmarking style SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_INC = 28 # incremental-search style SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_SMART = 29 # smart-highlighting style indicator_list = [ SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_EXT1, SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_EXT2, SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_EXT3, SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_EXT4, SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_EXT5, SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE, SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_INC, SCE_UNIVERSAL_FOUND_STYLE_SMART, ]

  @sebastian-alvarez-brandon , The themes go in %AppData%\Notepad++\themes for normal installations, or in the themes subfolder of your cloud folder if you’ve set Settings > Preferences > Cloud, or in the themes subfolder below your notepad++.exe's folder in a portable/zip edition. If you need help determining which setup you have, showing us the contents of the ? menu’s Debug Info (copy to clipboard and paste here), as well as the cloud preferences tab (Alt+PrintScreen and paste the image into your reply) If the installer didn’t have permission to write the themes to the appropriate location, or if you installed the “minimalist” zip edition (which doesn’t contain the fancy stuff), then those files might not be there. If they aren’t there, see if you can manually put them in that correct location. If they aren’t readable (or writeable) due to security policy, then there’s not much we can do for you, and you’ll have to talk with your I.T.

  Hi, @michael-vincent and All, Michael, don’t bother about it ! So, I first thought about using the old v2.0.0.0 version, where this displaying bug does not occur ! Finally, after a few tries and a little bit of practice, despite this bug, it is still possible to select a color, with the color picker feature, using your last enhanced v2.1.0.2 version ! I just need to move the mouse carefully, to prevent any premature soiling of the screen, in the desired area ;-)) Cheers, guy038

  @Makwana-Prahlad I don’t think this helps as it does exactly the opposite from what I think the OP wants to have. @Claudia-Svenson No, the menu entry “Windows (CR LF)” is disabled/greyed out switch to UNIX line endings and back to Windows. To verify that you have windows eol only, press the ¶ from the toolbar or goto view->show symbol->show all characters

  @alexarda search_string = r “Bob’s Brilliant Blog” re_search_for = r"(?<={0}).*(?=</p>)".format(search_string) editor.rereplace(re_search_for, lambda m: ‘{0:<13}1’.format(m.group()) search_string is only intended for easier editing if you use also want to search for other strings that follow the same pattern. re_search_for is then the actual search_string which contains a regex string assembled from 3 parts (?<={0}) the placeholder {0} is filled via the format function result is (?<=Bob’s Brilliant Blog) .* I’m sure you know what that means, match all or nothing, greedy (?=</p>) which means that a previous match only occures if this follows. All in all that means, look for anything with Bob’s Brilliant Blog begins and ends with </p>. editor.rereplace now searches via the regex pattern and forwards every match to a function that expects a match object as a parameter and is defined here with lambda. ‘{0:<13}1’.format(m.group()) finally means 0 = what is contained in m.group() and :<13 means the strings of m.group is filled up with blanks of up to 13 characters if necessary. The 1 after it is simply appended. That’s it. :-) Now that I wrote it I think a safer search would be in a non-greedy manner. replace this r"(?<={0}).*(?=</p>)" with that r"(?<={0}).+?(?=</p>)" The changes means, there must be anything and the regex matches as less as possible to meat the requirement.

  Why is np++ accessing counters.dat?

  @remeshed said in Why is np++ accessing counters.dat?: opening some IE(?) Another thought: that isn’t necessarily an IE-specific file. I have seen plenty of systems – especially from the Win7 era – where the %TEMP% and/or %TMP% variables were set to the Temporary Internet Files directory (sometimes just for system environment variables, sometimes for both system and user variables), because that was a “known always there temporary-style folder”. If you look at your Windows System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables (it might be easiest to use the Win-key, start typing system environment variables, and select Edit the system environment variables (control panel) when it comes up), you might be surprised to find that your system and/or user TMP/TEMP variables are set there. If so, then it becomes reasonable that any application or DLL would be using that folder as its temporary space, because that’s what it’s been told to do.

  @darkenb , I asked for text, you gave an image. I asked for “before” and “after” data separately; you put the “before” and “after” in the same screenshot – and even on second reading, I didn’t realize that the to in your image was the change from X to Y indicator rather than part of your text. The rest of what I wrote is to help you learn and to help you get better help. The help you receive will only be as good as the effort you put into asking for help. For your actual problem: FIND = <category>TEXT (\d)</category> REPLACE = <category>TEXT $1$1</category> Search Mode = regular expression (untested) I recommend you backup any files you try this on, and only try it on one file until everything is working. There are obvious assumptions in my example – that your text is literally TEXT every time, and that you’ll always only have one digit after text before </category> – but if my answer is not sufficient for your needs, you are going to have to do a better job of providing data that represents your data, and showing a willingness to learn.

  @PeterJones Thanks. I was hoping to use operators since they “glue” - my initial testing indicates that keywords need spaces to be recognised which is difficult to ensure in my case. I’ll check out the suggested script - might be a quick win if it’s fast enough on some of the decrepit hardware I need to support!

  @MK-Digital Whether it is in appdata or not depends on how you installed npp and whether you are using the doLocalConf.xml or not.
