All my tabs in the app, where the filenames are shown, are much wider now.

Hmm, I somehow can’t believe that someone would complain about wide tabs, and yet fail to notice the “pin” icon on the tabs.

so I was assuming it was a purposeful change

It was.

And I’ll mention I almost gave up before working around this “new user” UI. This is not a “complaint” proper that I would instead put in the complaint area (round bin).

This UI was not intuitive to a person with a CS BS and decades of experience. And you allow zero other ways to get help.

All I kept seeing was “you need to type at least 7 characters” but the title had plenty of characters. I didn’t realize the area on the left had a cursor (was under the pretty dialog message on Firefox). I thought it was a queue management interface. That after I posted something it’d appear there until it was approved, and go through various states (waiting, approved, etc).

These seem to be complaints against the forum software, not Notepad++.
The forum software is just something used by the Notepad++ authors, not developed by them, so if you don’t like it, go complain somewhere else about it (the software used is NodeBB).

potentially semi-transparent

Yea, this has long been a feature of N++'s Find window, but it’s not a great solution IMO for how huge the Find window is.

@mpheath Your are a legend! Thanks. It works. :-)
Unfortunately, my reputation is too low. That’s why I’m not allowed to give your post a positive vote.

@Robert-Or-Janet-Diebel said in Adding more steps to an existing Macro:

Are comments allowed in shortcuts.xml?

You can do this:

<Action type="1" message="2172" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="I am a comment!!!!!!!!" />

@Scott-Sumner So you mean just change the name?

@PeterJones Yes, the paths were accurate. I have Notepad++ installed on a secondary drive with %APPDATA% path turned off - if you recall that install option. I tried installing on the default drive/path to no avail. I have added the PATH in my Environment settings to the dll’s and app just in case as well.

I wish there was a way to compare registries just for Notepadd++ with you. I’m glad it works for you, hopefully another method will present itself here. Thank you.

Don’t use editor.getText with binary files. Notepad++ treats the file’s text as a NUL-terminated string for the purposes of that command, and most other text-retrieving commands. Apparently there are some ways for a plugin to get around this, but they are undoubtedly much more arcane.

Have I ever mentioned how irritated I am that Don Ho refuses to implement a system for warning people that NPP is an inappropriate app for working with binary files?

@afk-afk ,

The closest command line option is -n# to take you to a specific line. If you pick a number that’s more than the number of lines (like -n999999), then it will scroll to the end.

@PeterJones @Terry-R
i opened notepad++ to do some coding for my website and tyo get the rest of the debug info and suddenly my notepad++ decided to work properly and have all the missing things appear i haven’t done anything. so sorry for wasting everybody’s time

@Alan-Kilborn said in [8.7.1] File doesn't open expected file in list:

In this case, even though files are being closed, they aren’t saved in the “recent files” list. There must be something in the code that prevents this from happening during closure via shutdown.

BTW my HugeFiles plugin is more feature-rich and actively maintained than BigFiles.

@mohammad-Al-Maaitah if your first and last symbol is symbol.PNGyou can type \x16.*?\x16 in the Find field, tick the regular expression mode, leave the Replace field empty and click Replace in files (to remove it from multiple files). That will help you get rid of all of those (and anything else in between). There are no spaces anywhere in the middle, so I am explaining the same to you

Moderator restored the original post.

Deleting a post after there have been replies is highly discouraged. There is nothing sensitive in the original post, so the post has been restored to maintain the history of this conversation:

Don’t be embarrassed about having figured out the real problem: in internet help forums, there’s a whole category called “rubber duck debugging”, wherein just explaining the problem to someone else (ie, making your post) is enough to nudge your mind in the right direction, even without a reply – it’s nothing to be ashamed of. And thanks for letting us know you figured out your problem (so many times, people just go away after figuring it out, and never tell us whether we helped or whether we just acted as the rubber duck).

@Pj-Doyle
Your question seems to be related to html code and websites. Possibly you are using Notepad++ to generate this code, but as the issue isn’t really a Notepad++ issue you need to go to a HTML forum to get the answer.

Can I refer you to this FAQ post here.

Terry

@PeterJones Thank you so much these all worked perfectly!!

@dr-ramaanand said in Add number in each line:

please explain how to use the above RegEx

I think the “explain” part was already done.
But it isn’t a “RegEx”; it’s a syntax peculiar to the MutliReplace plugin.

@Alberto-Casanova said in Is there anyway to modify "Function List" font style and size?:

Maybe a mod or a plugin?

I don’t think there is a way for a plugin to influence the font in a Notepad++-built-in panel.

I’m not a plugin author, so I’m not sure; but as I’ve documented the plugin-communication messages, there isn’t a message which affects the font in that panel. However, there might be a clever programming trick that I’m not aware of to hack something like that. Someone with more plugin experience than I have would have to chime in.
