@Bernard ,

Please see this older discussion, which links to issue#4566 – the developer does not believe there is room for a permanent zoom indicator on the status bar, so has rejected that request. There is no reason to believe he will have changed his mind.

That said, the older discussion I linked has links to PythonScript implementations that may be of use to you. If you’ve never used PythonScript, this FAQ explains how to take one of those example scripts and implement it on your computer.

@Michael-Vincent Thanks, I’ve managed to make this work with my use case. In case anyone’s interested, this is roughly what I’m doing (AHK code):

The config (PostIt).xml is the file with my PostIt NP++ configuration (i.e., no title bars, line numbers, etc.) and config.xml is my usual NP++ configuration. The NppExec (PostIt).ini file is the configuration file for the NppExec plugin, which launches a script on startup that contains the following:

This now seems to work as I want it. Thank you both for the help.

@mpheath said in Help allowing users to install plugins:

That should grant members of the users group Full permissions on the /Link folder.

That does indeed sound interesting. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to test it, but I’ll report back here if/when I do

Hello, @calvin-orley and All,

Very easy, indeed !

Open the Find dialog ( Ctrl + F ) or the Find in Files dialog ( Ctrl + Shift + F )

Type in your keyword in the Find what: field

Choose the appropriate box options

Select your search mode ( Normal, Extended or Regular expression )

Click, either, on one of these buttons :

Find All in Current Document of the Find dialog

Find All in All Opened Documents of the Find dialog

Find All of the Find in Files dialog

After a while, a new window Search Results should appear, which shows all the occurrences found

Inside this window, right-click and choose the Copy Pathname(s) option

Open a new tab ( Ctrl + N )

Paste the clipboard contents ( Ctrl + V )

Et voilà !

Best Regards,

guy038

@Jordan-Adania

Folding is the weak part of UDL.
Sometimes it helps if you add an extra space after {.
If this does not help, are you willing to share your current UDL and an example AHK script where this happens?

Thank you so much, u saved my life <3

@Nasser-M-Abbasi said in how to disable the balloon tip in notepad++ in view->Document list?:

This ballon tip bothers me so much as it makes it hard to see files inside notepad.

How so?
For me, the hover tip opens about 2 full “lines” below the entry it relates to, definitely away from where the action is, example:

1fe46f8b-d048-4be7-91fa-d533e74f1f72-image.png

So, ok, new 6 is obscured in my example.
If such a thing bothers you, get your mouse out of the Document List window.
Why is your mouse even there, unless you intend to switch tabs – in that case, get in, do it, hover tip shouldn’t have an impact.
The only other real reason to have the mouse in this window is to actually see the info from the hover tip.

I will move to Linux because of this

Seems extreme to me, but good luck!

How can i set your script to run on startup?

@Michael-Vincent, Many thanks for your help.

@pnedev

There is also report mentioning a possible coincidence with a pending N++ auto-update.

User has periodic backups enabled too.

@Michael-Vincent now whork! Thank u Michael!

@Nick-Minchin

Hopefully you took to heart some discussion about unnamed/unsaved documents and potential data loss. IMO an unnamed file should be saved into the file system with a real name very soon after creation.

comparing unsaved changes to the original document

The new ComparePlus plugin may be of interest to you for such a task.

@PeterJones

Thanks for your clarification. Sorry for to present the question in this forum.

It worked, thanks a lot

@Kevin-Cook ,

When you have Dark Mode enabled, could you show us a screenshot of Settings > Preferences

For example, for me, Dark Mode looks exactly like I’d expect:
4d17cd39-a44e-4b27-8606-927fcfb23e9a-image.png

Also, share your Settings > Style Configurator dialog screenshot, maybe with Global Styles > Default Style selected, like:
9f6507f5-1d9f-4d9d-a086-8dc581eef9dd-image.png

You also said,

playing with Settings -> Style Configurator … Disabling Global styles

“Global styles > Global override” with the overrides checkmarked is almost never what you want. A well-designed theme will properly inherit from “Global Styles > Default Style”, and should be reasonable for most users. (I know you said you have vision issues, and there are rare circumstances when vision issues will require checkmarking some of those overrides… but that should be a last resort.)

Using those overrides will mean there is no syntax highlighting… or, even worse, if you do it wrong, will mean that there is partial syntax highlighting, which might make things worse than if you’d just left the overrides off.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Exit Python loop when replacement count is 0:

A modification to that one could be to limit the matches that research() will look for to 1, e.g.:

Noted, and I like it. Thanks again.

@incarnare
no, since it must not be activated.
Can you post more details what you want to do?

@PeterJones said in Having trouble getting a macro to work as desired:

put the example text in the same kind of text box you used for the macro XML

I was going to add that in my reply, but I suspect OP doesn’t really know how he obtained that nice boxed-in formatting for his macros, so telling him to “do that again” may be pointless. :-)

But here’s how it happened:

He copied+pasted full lines from shortcuts.xml and because those lines have leading whitespace, the forum software thinks it is code and puts it in a nice code block.

Probably any sample text the OP provides would not have that characteristic, and would need manual formatting to get the proper result.
