    The current state is:

    Double click on “blank” area - open new tab Wheel click on tab - close the tab

    What about if we have selectable options for double and wheel clicks?

    For example:

    Double click on blank area and/or tab: Open new tab Close the tab (it is already available in the preferences) Wheel click on blank area and/or tab: Open new tab Close the tab (already available but not configurable)

    The current possible actions are - double click for new tab/close current and wheel click for close.
    The new will be to choose what double click and wheel can do.
    Also will be good if the user can open new tab next to the current when double/wheel click on the current one.

    By the way in the Document List double click works only to open new document, but not to close it. Wheel click also does not work.

    PS: I don’t like the idea to have [+] button because there is already a button for new tab

    @Asger-Jørgensen-0 ,

    It was pointed out to me that you said “search results window”. My mind couldn’t conceive of anyone undocking the search results window, so it autocorrected it to “find dialog”.

    If you don’t want it in the way, dock it, which is its natural state. Or, if you don’t want it docked, move it outside of the Notepad++'s main window.

    If that’s not sufficient, then the feature-request FAQ I already linked is your next step. (Or someone else might come and suggest something.)

    @asger-jørgensen-0 ,

    I have not received a confirmation mail.

    Some people have difficulty receiving the confirmation mail. But that mail isn’t 100% critical: it might mean that the Forum cannot email you notifications regarding replies to your questions… but other than that, you have 100% access to the main features for the primary purpose of the forum – posting and replying to questions and discussions.

    This profile is Asger Jørgensen 0 and the old one is Asger Jørgensen.
    Can somebody fix this ?

    Unfortunately, I don’t have enough moderator power to investigate issues with accounts / access / etc. I was hoping that one of the other, more powerful moderators was going to reply to you, but it doesn’t look like they ever did (though maybe someone contacted you through a private message or through email).

    @djeydjey95 ,

    I saw you also asked here… you only need to do each question once (though the lack of replies might convince you otherwise).

    In case you weren’t aware, there is a regression/bug in v8.4 that messed up HTML-formatting-in-PHP-files. more here. If that’s what you are having difficulty with, please try with Notepad++ v8.4.1, which should have fixed that bug.

    If you are asking for something else, please explain it better, as I obviously couldn’t understand, and no one else here has understood it enough to provide guidance.

    If you are asking for a new feature that’s not previously been available, we have a FAQ for that, because feature requests posted solely in the Community Forum will not be addressed, because this isn’t the bug/feature tracker.

    Thanks for the very informative reply. I ended up with a cloud setting that I don’t remember ever using but maybe a result of an experiment at some point. Removed that and all is back to normal.

    Thanks so much, really appreciated.

    @dean-tersigni ,

    One could copy the JavaScript FunctionList definition file overtop the HTML FunctionList definition file, but that would of course lose the normal HTML FunctionList behavior.

    Alternate to that, one could try to merge the regexes in the FunctionList definition to try to get a combination of the two behaviors in the HTML FunctionList definition… but that would not necessarily be easy to do

    @peterjones said in A mode to show opened files are saved or not?:

    That’s why that feature was added. (Personally, I wish the “alternate” icons were made the primary/default, but at least the option is there.)

    Don’s philosophy is that new optional behavior is never the default. To me it would be better the other way around: If something better/fresher is made the default, users know about it; those that don’t like it (sometimes people just hate change, even when what has been changed is better) can always change it back. The way it is, I’m sure a lot of good new behavior is unbeknownst to a lot of users.

    Hi, @robin-cruise,

    The (?-i) part means that, from thiat point, the search will be sentitive to case. So, it will match the string <p class="sd-23">, but not, for instance, the string <P class="sd-23"> nor the string <p CLASS="sd-23"> !

    Then, the \h class character represents any horizontal blank character ( so, either, the \t [ Tabulation ] char or the \x20 [ space] char or the \xa0 character [No-breaking Space] char)

    Thus, the \h* syntax represents any range of horizontal blank chars, from 0 to n

    The old plugin manager, with its file hosted at that web site, has been deprecated since 2018.

    You should be using a Notepad++ version 7.6.3 or newer, which come bundled with a built-in Plugins Admin rather than relying on an external plugin for managing plugins.

    But perhaps it is not reasonable to try to wedge a problem like this into the BSR/ESR solution. It has come up before, I just found THIS and that solution also uses what Peter suggests (change identical delimiter such that both delimiters are no longer identical).

    Can confirm this works without modification in May 2022. Thanks @guy038 for the easy copy and paste!

    Well, now there’s a better way to copy marked text:

    @peterjones
    Yep, now that I understand the syntax of the Esc-sequence it was easy for me to remove them using the replace function of Notepad++. The ESC was shown as square in the Replace-dialog but worked fine.

    To me it was not important to see the formatting just the content (and I wanted to be sure that I did not remove content), luckily there were just 2 or 3 variants of Escape sequences used.

    And yeah it’s funny how that sometimes related topics become active at the same time.

    If you block select using Alt+Shift+Arrow keys, you can afterwords drag the selection using the left mouse.

    @PeterJones
    Thanks. I do believe it works for you.
    I think maybe it’s environment issue. E.g. some settings in win10?

    Not sure if you’re still having issues, but I ran into the same thing today. The resolution was to go into the DSSpellCheck settings and download the dictionary (English - US, for me). After that, spell check worked again.
