@Николай-Долбня said in Autocompletion doesn't work properly, what could be the reason?:

It is not obvious for me that Enter could be used for something else during classical autocompletion, but it’s only my oppinion though.

I will admit the tab key would not have been my “default” choice but the developer is allowed to select whatever they think is appropriate. It’s up to the user (that’s you) to see the problem and hopefully read the manual to find the reason. Luckily the developer puts in lots of settings that can be changed to suit the users preference.

Thanks Peter for the info. It seems the themes are only associated by filename and so I just copy or rename Monokai to DefaultDarkMode.

still looking into Minimalist though, but will transition to the full portable soon.

@Alan-Kilborn I was also using 8.4.3 (sorry about that).

Thanks for the guidance. I use Razer headphones, and it turns out that it was the Razer software that was causing the problem. Thought I would share in case any other who had the same problem, and like me weren’t smart enough to figure it out on their own.

Also, I’ve used Notepad++ for years (decades?) now, and absolutely love it. Just sent a donation to show my gratitude.

@Ekopalypse thank you very much kind sir, it works, have a great and amazing day

@BrendanL79 said in Tab bar always hidden at launch:

But right now the erratic tab bar behavior bothers me more

If you toggle the Settings > Preferences > General > Tab Bar > ☑ Hide to the checkmarked state, then with or without the asNotepad.xml config file, Notepad++ will start with the tab bar hidden, and opening Settings > Preferences will not cause the tab bar to suddenly appear, making it both consistent and the behavior I believe you want.

@Сергей-Арсентьев said in clipboard in find and replace:

By default, Notepad++ adds the last value from the clipboard to the search

Note that this has nothing to do with the clipboard content.
Notepad++, if the Don't fill find field... is unticked, will grab either the word at the caret (if no selection is active) or the currently selected text and use it to pre-populate the Find what box in the Find window.

@musicscoree96 said in Compare 2 folders:

as for now I used UltraCompare

So why stop using it, even if a Notepad++ plugin gives you compare capability?

No offense to the developers of the Compare plugin, but I don’t like it much, so I continue to use BeyondCompare. I do my own “integration” with it using some Notepad++ scripts.

@Swati-Rohatgi said in Default Dictionary:

It is enhancement request

And it was officially made HERE.
But…I don’t think what you want was made very clear there. Perhaps you want to clarify by writing more there, or at the very least linking back here to this discussion.

@damdini-RANAWEERA said in notepad ++ problem:

my note pad++ is not working when I view it on another web page as below.

The solution is that you need to write a html file, not a txt file.

By the way, this is a free answer, but if you ask anymore html coding questions no-one will help. This is not a Notepad++ issue, it’s a html coding issue so ask these questions in a different forum please.

@rdipardo @PeterJones

I’ve applied Scintilla fix here:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/11911

But I still can reproduce the bug.
Obviously, the bug is not fixed by this commit :(

This did work. Thank you again.

In case anyone else is interested, I added the following to “C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\scripts\startup.py”:

def setTabs(arg): editor.setTabIndents(False) notepad.callback(setTabs, [NOTIFICATION.BUFFERACTIVATED])

I was able to use ther xml tools plug in for notepadd ++. I renamed my xslt to xsl. I opened my xml file that I want to transform. I selected the plugin menu. Then selected xml tools - xsl transformation. In the child window that appears, I select my renamed xsl file.

@Win-Custom ,

This sounds like the known issue here (@Yaron can correct me if I’m wrong). If so, it will be fixed in the next revision of Notepad++.

@rdipardo Yes, I’m also using the portable version.

Noted on that, will look into this more. Thanks again for the add. info.

@Hans-Jürgen-L ,

That issue is being addressed in the official issue tracker.

@Brian-Owens said in Can't update from the program anymore:

why is this

It’s explained in the user manual.

https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/upgrading/

Hello, @bastien-allouard, @peterjones and All,

I’ve got a solution which needs the installation of the excellent BetterMultiSelection plugin, from @dail ! So :

Open the menu option Plugins > Plugins Admin...

Select the BetterMultiSelection plugin

Click on the Install button

Click on the Close button

For security, close and restart Notepad++

Now, assuming that you have this INPUT text :

Hyping "Hyping" Fulfillingcontract "Fulfilling contract" Time-limit "Time-limit" Requiredquality "Required quality" Upfront "Upfront" Whendone "When done" Penalty "Penalty" Costperbug "Cost per bug" Bugpenalty "Bug penalty" Latepenalty "Late penalty" Qualitypenalty "Quality penalty" Cancelpenalty "Cancel penalty" Netprofit "Net profit" Delivered "Delivered" Maxbandwidth "Max bandwidth" Lookagain "Look again" LookAgainPrompt "Are you sure you want to look again? It will cost {0}" Hyping "Popularité" Fulfillingcontract "Contrat rempli" Time-limit "Limite de temps" Requiredquality "Qualité requise" Upfront "Avance" Whendone "A la livraison" Penalty "Penalté" Costperbug "Coût par bug" Bugpenalty "Pénalité des bugs" Latepenalty "Pénalité de retard" Qualitypenalty "Pénalité de Qualité" Cancelpenalty "Pénalité d'annulation" Netprofit "Profit net" Delivered "Livré" Maxbandwidth "Bande passante Max" Lookagain "Actualiser" LookAgainPrompt "Êtes-vous sûr de vouloir actualiser ? Cela vous coûtera {0}"

First, let’s change any tab char by the corresponding space chars with the menu option Edit > Blank Operations > TAB to Space

Select all the lines, English and French

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

SEARCH (?-s)^(\h*).+?"

REPLACE \1"

Tick the Wrap around and In selection options

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click on the Replace All button

You should obtain the OUTPUT text below :

"Hyping" "Fulfilling contract" "Time-limit" "Required quality" "Upfront" "When done" "Penalty" "Cost per bug" "Bug penalty" "Late penalty" "Quality penalty" "Cancel penalty" "Net profit" "Delivered" "Max bandwidth" "Look again" "Are you sure you want to look again? It will cost {0}" "Popularité" "Contrat rempli" "Limite de temps" "Qualité requise" "Avance" "A la livraison" "Penalté" "Coût par bug" "Pénalité des bugs" "Pénalité de retard" "Pénalité de Qualité" "Pénalité d'annulation" "Profit net" "Livré" "Bande passante Max" "Actualiser" "Êtes-vous sûr de vouloir actualiser ? Cela vous coûtera {0}"

Enable, if necessary, the BetterMultiSelection plugin

Do a zero-length rectangular selection of all the lines ( Hit, simultaneously the Alt and Shift keys and press the Down key, several times )

Release all the keys, then hit the End ( or Fin ) key

=> All the cursors should be at the end of lines

Hit the Enter key to insert blank lines, in between

Hit the Backspace key to delete the tabulations ( IMPORTANT )

Hit the Esc key to disable your rectangular selection

You’ll get this OUTPUT :

"Hyping" "Fulfilling contract" "Time-limit" "Required quality" "Upfront" "When done" "Penalty" "Cost per bug" "Bug penalty" "Late penalty" "Quality penalty" "Cancel penalty" "Net profit" "Delivered" "Max bandwidth" "Look again" "Are you sure you want to look again? It will cost {0}" "Popularité" "Contrat rempli" "Limite de temps" "Qualité requise" "Avance" "A la livraison" "Penalté" "Coût par bug" "Pénalité des bugs" "Pénalité de retard" "Pénalité de Qualité" "Pénalité d'annulation" "Profit net" "Livré" "Bande passante Max" "Actualiser" "Êtes-vous sûr de vouloir actualiser ? Cela vous coûtera {0}"

Now, redo a zero lengh rectangular selection of the french lines only, including the blank ones

While keeping pressed the Alt and Shift keys, hit the End ( or Fin ) key to include all text

Press the Ctrl + X shortcut, to move that text in the clipboard

Hit the Esc key to disable the rectangular selection

Now, move the caret at the very beginning of the first blank line, under the line "Hyping"

Hit the Ctrl + V shortcut

=> Wow ! you should get this OUTPUT text, below :

"Hyping" "Popularité" "Fulfilling contract" "Contrat rempli" "Time-limit" "Limite de temps" "Required quality" "Qualité requise" "Upfront" "Avance" "When done" "A la livraison" "Penalty" "Penalté" "Cost per bug" "Coût par bug" "Bug penalty" "Pénalité des bugs" "Late penalty" "Pénalité de retard" "Quality penalty" "Pénalité de Qualité" "Cancel penalty" "Pénalité d'annulation" "Net profit" "Profit net" "Delivered" "Livré" "Max bandwidth" "Bande passante Max" "Look again" "Actualiser" "Are you sure you want to look again? It will cost {0}" "Êtes-vous sûr de vouloir actualiser ? Cela vous coûtera {0}"

Finally, do the last regex S/R, below :

SEARCH (?-s)^(\h*)"(.+)"\R\h*(.+)

REPLACE \1\2\x20\3

This regex selects two lines and rewrites all chars of the first line, but the double quote chars. Then, changes the EOL, between the two lines, with a space char and, finally, rewrites the contents of the second line

So, you should get your expected OUTPUT text :

Hyping "Popularité" Fulfilling contract "Contrat rempli" Time-limit "Limite de temps" Required quality "Qualité requise" Upfront "Avance" When done "A la livraison" Penalty "Penalté" Cost per bug "Coût par bug" Bug penalty "Pénalité des bugs" Late penalty "Pénalité de retard" Quality penalty "Pénalité de Qualité" Cancel penalty "Pénalité d'annulation" Net profit "Profit net" Delivered "Livré" Max bandwidth "Bande passante Max" Look again "Actualiser" Are you sure you want to look again? It will cost {0} "Êtes-vous sûr de vouloir actualiser ? Cela vous coûtera {0}"
