  @Andrew-Wardle In this particular situation I would do the following, note, assuming you have xml tools plugin installed and that delay tag as well as type tag keep their values. copy the block into e new buffer <MouseMovement> <Type>3</Type> <x>0</x> <y>0</y> <Delay>7</Delay> </MouseMovement> goto plugins->xml tools->linearize xml <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> press ctrl+d as many times as you want it to be replicated <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> <MouseMovement><Type>3</Type><x>0</x><y>0</y><Delay>7</Delay></MouseMovement> put the caret after <x> and press and hold SHIFT+ALT and use down arrow key to create a rectangular selection press the del key to get rid of the initial value start column editor (menu edit->column editor) and set your start end end number. (you can’t set negative values) press enter. repeat the step for y value Create another rectangular selection and add the minus sign goto plugins->xml tools->pretty print … with line breaks Sounds alot of steps but is done within seconds.

  [v.7.8.6] Vertical Edge Settings no longer works with Split Lines (Ctrl-I)

  Hello, @matthew-au, @i-neuw, @michael-Vincent, @ekopalypse, @alan-kilborn, @peterjones, @terry-r and All, I revisited my previous posts of that discussion about the new Vertical Multi-Edge lines feature ! First, when I said : A work-around has been found but needs to choose one column number only and tick once on the Background mode option ! I want to insist that the fact of ticking on the Background mode option, then unticking it, is needed to update the sole edge boundary value, displayed ! Even with the last 7.9.0 N++ version, this step is necessary ! Now, I did some additional tests, on, both, the final version of my regex and the native Split Lines N++ feature ( Ctrl + I ), using the license.txt file ! Using my regex S/R method, to split the lines, we get the same result : Whatever the Line or Background mode is used, in Settings > Preferences... > Editing > Vertical Edge Settings Whatever the View > Word wrap option is set or not Whatever the View > Show Symbol > Show All Characters option is set or not Whatever the current font used is a MonoSpaced or a Proportional font, in the Style Configurator... Using the native Edit > Line Operations > Split Lines feature, we get the same result Whatever the Line or Background mode is used, in Settings > Preferences... > Editing > Vertical Edge Settings Whatever the View > Word wrap option is set or not But, unlike what I said in my first post, the results of the Ctrl + I feature are totally different depending on whether : The View > Show Symbol > Show All Characters option is set or not The current font used is a Monospaced or a Proportional font, in the Style Configurator... So, regarding my previous argumentation, my regex method and the native Split Lines N++ feature give the same results ONLY IF : A monospaced font is currently used The EOL symbol ( CRLF ) is not displayed The column number is superior to a minimum of about 15 for normal text. When I say “normal”, I refer, for instance, to the license.txt text, from line 28 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 till the end of file ! Note also that, with these hypotheses, the splitting operation of a selection of lines with, both, the regex S/R and the native Split Lines feature gives the same text contents ! IMPORTANT : My regex S/R is built in order to exactly replace the native Split Lines N++ feature, with the hypotheses above. But, of course, you may decide to not follow this rule and use, instead, a more simple search regex as, for instance : SEARCH (?-s)^.{75,}?\K\x20+ REPLACE \r\n which would split lines, roughly, after 80 characters Best Regards, guy038

  This regex should only work if: The beginning of a line that does not contain a space or tab at the beginning, but this line always ends with a curly brace.

  @github4moses said in All versions crash at startup: Fed-up with all wrong experiments, I installed a bare-bone 32-bit Windows 7 to test all available versions of the 32-bit Notepad++ from 3.8 up to 7.8.9. Bingo: The old ones were perfect, the recent ones a total failure. 6.6.9 was still fully clean, 6.8 started to crash GUP, 7.0 added 2 Exception pop-ups before opening the editor, 7.5.6 added 3 pop-ups and failed on Close. With 7.8.9, nothing at all works anymore. These older versions of Notepad++ have all passed through thousands of happy customers so we can still suggest Notepad++ by itself isn’t the issue. I would suggest the issue is something to do with your system. I know you have a brand new installation with hardly any added S/W other than Notepad++ of various versions. I presume the hardware is ALL the same as before the new Windows was loaded? It might seem like this has been a failure but I would say otherwise. At this point it must be solely the interaction between later versions of Notepad++ and your (almost clean) Windows system. About the only thing left is the video driver and the additional AV/anti-malware apps. Do you have a discrete card fitted or is it a builtin graphics adaptor (maybe within the CPU as with the i5 & i7). Can you provide details of the graphics card and driver version? For a truly clean system I would have JUST installed Windows, had the installer for the Notepad++ version on a USB stick and installed from it, without having the clean system touch the Internet. Although Windows does like to “authenticate” you can run it for a period “offline” without any problems. The next experiment would be to replace the video card and install a new driver and repeat the different Notepad++ versions tests. Terry

  @ArkadiuszMichalski said in Delete near duplicate lines: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/20173/delete-near-duplicate-lines/4?_=1603208619351 I don’t know what this means. I mean, I know it is a link but I don’t know what it is supposed to tell me, even looking at where that link points. The brevity of your posts often seems to produce something that isn’t really meaningful. We often get people that don’t want to bother typing a lot in their posts here (kind of an anti-PeterJones-type poster), and that’s a shame because people often have good thoughts – I guess the effort in expressing them is too difficult. Pity.

  @andrecool-68 But only as long as you have not opened more than the maximum number of files to be saved. Create/maintain some sort of database for this info But I see a disadvantage - maintenance. How to keep this kind of db clean. I would say that during runtime of npp one can expect it but after a restart it will become a nightmare to keep it clean. How would one handle temporarily inaccessible files, moved or deleted files. On the other side if you can configure an extension or lexer to always open a file in a specific encoding then I assume most of the issues are solved.

  @Ohm-Dios , Sorry, your “clarification” was no help, especially since you didn’t follow my advice. The best I can do at this point is guess. I’ll give you that one free guess. I would accomplish my guess as a three-step process. Search Mode = regular expression for all steps FIND = (?-s)(Paragraph.*?$) REPLACE = ¶${1}¶ Replace All FIND = \R REPLACE = empty/nothing Replace All FIND = ¶ REPLACE = \r\n Replace All My guess is probably wrong, but I cannot do any more for you. If you come back and clarify, actually following my advice for how to format text using the </> button, and giving better examples, someone else might be able to understand you better.

  Hello, @petr-andreev, @terry-R, @astrosofista and All, @terry-r and @peterjones are right about it. For instance, the first word of your example, Sent is obviously not a proper name but this long sentence could have started with a proper name, too ! Regexes are really not a fair tool to solve semantic problems ;-)) @Astrosofista, I do like your approach, too ! As for me, I succeeded to build up a regex which catches, “more or less”, all the proper names and compound proper names of the OP’s text ! I modified your example, adding some dummy text as well as the @peterjones text, for a deeper text. Of course, the first word of any sentence is considered as a proper name. And, although your first sentence, slightly modified, seems to give good results, the @peterjones text, coming next, is not so pertinent ! Sent by them to the north in search of new lands, the daring daredevils of the Swamp Orkhon, Holokhoi Oyuun, Symattai the Blacksmith, Hara Tumen, Uluu Horo, the elder Omogoy and Ellei Bootur, as well as the general MacArthur, O'Neil the Scotsman , A SpecialNicknameForTest; Cardinal Mazarin, la Marquise de Maintenon, Louis "Le Grand Dauphin" and Louis XIV the Great or Sun King, his father, proceeding from the banks of the Great Ebe from top to bottom and from bottom to top, found three spacious valleys. As a second paragraph, we will follow d'Artagnan on his quest to find the bones of St. Francis of Assisi, along with fictional characters and Dr. Watson, and Bill S. Preston, Esq, and George Wexford-Smyth III. They were really curious whether Dutch cyclist Mathieu van der Poel would lose his "van der", and whether Dutch would be kept because it's a proper adjective (not a proper noun). The following regex S/R : SEARCH (?x-is).*?(\u[\l\u'."]+(((?!and|or)[^,;.:?!\r\n]){1,5}?\u[\l\u'."]+){0,3})|.+(\R)? REPLACE ?1\1(?4:\r\n) Would output this text : Sent Swamp Orkhon Holokhoi Oyuun Symattai the Blacksmith Hara Tumen Uluu Horo Omogoy Ellei Bootur MacArthur O'Neil the Scotsman SpecialNicknameForTest Cardinal Mazarin Marquise de Maintenon Louis "Le Grand Dauphin" Louis XIV the Great Sun King Great Ebe As Artagnan St. Francis of Assisi Dr. Watson Bill S. Preston Esq George Wexford-Smyth III. They Dutch Mathieu Poel Dutch Remark : if you add the new rule that “Any sentence will never begin with a proper name”, it should even be possible to avoid the first word of any sentence ! However, the @peterjones and @Terry-R thoughts should convince you of the limits of regexes, in this matter ! Test on your real text to see if any other problem occurs ! I do not have time, presently, for explanations of this search regex, but I will, next time ! See you later, Best Regards, guy038

  Thank you. I was able to assign a new key combination in the settings of the program. The automatic selection of empty spaces between paragraphs is not a problem.

  How do I show/hide the "CR" and "LF" text at the end of the text line?

  @Tom-Klecker said in How do I show/hide the "CR" and "LF" text at the end of the text line?: I’m a returning user to Notepad++. It’s an excellent simple text/ ASCII text editor. The CR and LF are part of the original ASCII code set and are a couple of the ‘machine codes’ (codes 00 to 31) that go back to the teletype origins where it was literally a command to reposition the print carriage back to the left margin and roll the platen up the space of a single line. The 2 command CR& LF were sent by TTY operators to start new lines… Later some printers and word processing apps were designed to automatically execute a line feed with every CR which led to the need to edit/convert some text documents for compatibility with different printers/word processors. I like to see the CRLF to make sure they are there in the document and the line breaks are ‘hard’ and not interpreted by the app based on TAB, commas (CSV), semicolons, etc. In a computer printer or display the commands tell the device to show the next character down a line space at.the left margin (or indentation). Activate it via menu view->show symbol->show end of line

  So the snapshot backups are more to be thought of as “N++ buffer backups” rather than file-on-disk backups. The filenames of created backups are a bit different: For the snapshot backups there’s a filename.ext@yyyy-mm-dd_hhmmss file created (not literally, of course, hopefully that is understood). For the backup-on-save you get either filename.ext.bak (for Simple backup) or filename.ext.yyyy-mm-dd_hhmmss.bak (for Verbose backup).
