@amymor said in Changing Text Direction RTL/LTR hotkey to Ctrl+right/left shift:

@Ekopalypse
i cant set ctrl+right shift or left shift. is it impossible?

All keyboard shortcut assignments have to have one actual key, along with 0 or more modifier keys. Ctrl and Shift are both modifier keys (so is Alt), and keyboard shortcuts cannot tell the difference between left-shift and right-shift, so you have to pick an actual key (from the drop-down choices) to go with it.

You could choose something like Ctrl+Shift+Left and Ctrl+Shift+Right to use the left and right arrows in combination with the control and shift keys. However, both of those are usually mapped to select-word-left and select-word-right. At least in mine, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Left and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Right aren’t used, so you could map them to all three modifiers plus the left and right arrow keys.

Better choice is to select “SmallTalk”, much more highlights.

Hello, @김성찬 and All,

Here is a method, using regular expression syntax :

Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + F )

SEARCH ^\R|(\R)(?!\R)

REPLACE ?1\x20

Tick the Wrap around option, if necessary

Select the Regular expression search mode

Click on the Replace All button

Voila !

Notes :

The search regex tries to match, either :

True empty lines ( part ^\R ), which are deleted during replacement

EOL char(s), stored in group 1 ( as embedded in parentheses ) ONLY IF  not followed with others EOL character(s) ( part (\R)(?!\R) )

In replacement, when group1 exists ( second alternative ) we replace the line-break with a space char

Best Regards

If the OP really wants an “alternate view” of the file, I think the true answer might be to use a script to capture the opening/closing events. The opening even could do the replacement operation I provided earlier and the closing/saving event could put the data all back on one line. I’m keeping this rather vague because the OP was rather vague about the whole thing.

@Santiago-DIEZ

That’s a big version jump, a lot of changes etc…
I assume you have to delete, risking to loose all custom changes if any done, stylers.xml, langs.xml and let it recreate during npp startup.
Depending on your configuration those files are on different places.
See here for more details.

@Elif-Taşkın

If it was a file you had taken the time to give a name to on disk, when you close it, the last saved version would be there.

However, if you were operating on an “I’m not going to save my files, I’m going to let Notepad++ keep track of them” basis, then if you close it and say no to the prompt to save, IT’S GONE.

Have same problem, restart macro

@Stickleback-Ne Thank you. Works like a charm… :-)

@guy038 said in Need help filtering lines starting with same strings:

Ah, Terry, nice shot ! Just one question :

I guess I’m not a greedy person😉. Actually I guess I just didn’t proof my solution well enough. I had a concept in my mind, quickly tested it, found it worked and posted.

Of course as I was intending to grab the whole line use of the lazy parameter was just a rookie mistake. At least no harm, no foul, eh? (<-- oops, there it goes again)

Terry

Not sure you can do this but what I normally do in such a case is
using Delimiters with different open but same close tags
and one unique folder setting.
Something like this for example

@Vikrant-Chauhan

sounds like you are trying to load a plugin which has a different “bitness”
as to compared to Npp. For example, trying to use a 32bit plugin with a 64bit Npp or vice versa.

@Matt-Bennett

This is true but probably the OP has no idea what gnu/cut/linux/cygwin/wsl are.
As this is a Notepad++ forum, please try to confine answers to techniques within Notepad++ unless there truly is no way to do it with Notepad++.

Great, that is it! Thanks!

Still not working correctly in 7.8.6.

Oops, typo in link; actually, see HERE .

@Alan-Kilborn said in Syntax highlighting of unsaved files?:

From my understanding, @Ekopalypse is not an English speaker,

Yes, correct.

yet his posts make perfect sense.

I’m not sure about that. :-)

I understand he uses deepl.com for translating from his language to > English before posting.

Most of the time I do.
If I can give short answers, I sometimes try to do it without a translator.
And I think it is easy to find out which posts are written with and without deepl.com. :-)

@Benny-Tordrup
You mean code folding? See the menu item:

View =>
Fold All
Unfold All
Collapse Current Level
Uncollapse Current Level
Collapse Level >
Uncollapse Level >

All of them have default keyboard shortcuts for me, which can be remapped if you don’t like them through menu:

Settings => Shortcut Mapper…

Cheers.
