@Alan-Kilborn said in Control symbols now inserted on macro:

recordedMacroStep::PlayBack
… ansiBuffer[4];

That makes some sense. At first I was wondering what change prompted that to start failing, and the GitHub blame shows those two lines haven’t been changed in 3-4 years. But really, if Scintilla changed the way it’s doing things, maybe the _sParameter.c_str() now has a 4byte char rather than a 3byte char, or something.

Alternately, MS Docs: WideCharToMultiByte shows that sending cbMultiByte (the 3 or 4 in the last arg before the NULLs) as a 0 will have it return the width needed, so wouldn’t it be more future proof to use:

int ansiBufferLength = ::WideCharToMultiByte(static_cast<UINT>(pEditView->execute(SCI_GETCODEPAGE)), 0, _sParameter.c_str(), -1, ansiBuffer, 0, NULL, NULL); // grab needed ansiBuffer length ::WideCharToMultiByte(static_cast<UINT>(pEditView->execute(SCI_GETCODEPAGE)), 0, _sParameter.c_str(), -1, ansiBuffer, ansiBufferLength, NULL, NULL);

(though you’d need to either re-dim ansiBuffer, or make sure it’s always got enough room)

Yes, I think this is a mouse pointing thing which, btw., SciTe does as well.
Not sure how easy it would be for npp to handle this differently and
yes, I never noticed this as well. :-)

Looks like you’re making a fake site ?!

@Ekopalypse No I am using generic HP notebook with a built-in ‘precision touchpad.’ And I’m afraid I don’t know if any other Win10 apps have this function. I was just using an iPad and thought it would be cool to have this kind of function in Notepad++ since you know, iPad’s touchscreen and the notebook’s Touchpad works in a very similar way.

@Andreas-Krüger

sources for the onine documentation is available via github repo.

After moving to the next bookmark, you need to click on the down arrow, and then everything turns out as I need.
It’s a pity that it’s not possible to write all this into a macro, the macro does not see the operation with the plugin))

@Alan-Kilborn said in How to reduce number to keystrokes for finding and replacing word?:

not sure why Eko pointed you to “Using Modify Shortcut/Delete Command from Run menu

Same window, different tab - came first to my mind.
No special intention. :-)

@Jonathan-Russell

what can be styled or not is defined by the lexer, which means you
cannot add some random tokens to an existing lexer configuration.
In order to be able to treat your forwardslashes you must either

write your own lexer write your own user defined language (menu language->define your language…) or use a scripting language like PythonScript to tweak the builtin lexers or UDLs.

Each of them have their pro and cons and which one fits your requirements depends on your knowledge about programming
and the will for implementation.

Works like a charm… :)

Thanks a lot!

N++ does have a clipboard history feature built in and I wonder if that was conflicting with X-ming hook into the clipboard which enabled clipboard sharing between regular windows and x-sever applications.

I’m using Ditto now on recommendation from @dinkumoil with no I’ll affects.

Cheers.

Why doesn’t your very first line get modified in your “I need” section?

@DandyDonnyDon

Since your “Here’s the XML source code” and your “here’s what I need” are identical, it is totally unclear what you want to achieve.

Maybe this was caused by interpreting and re-formating your posting by the forum software. To avoid this the forum supports Markdown in postings. With its help it is possible to post code in a way the forum doesn’t interpret and re-format.

You can find a code formatting button in the toolbar above the input box for postings. >>> This page <<< provides a deeper insight of the markdown syntax used by this forum.

@Melanie-Niedfeld

It is possible by activating extended search mode and using escape sequences for line breaks (CrLf):

@PeterJones Thank you! You understood me. Turning off the auto-completion, did it :)
Regards the ‘blinking’: Every word and letter I typed caused the popup to come up or changed it. I like things to hold still, on my screen.

@throw-away said in How do I change how notepad++ handles opening and storing files?:

So how do I make notepad++ behave just like normal notepad? … I do not want notepad++ to keep my files open or remember my files when I close them.

Turn off the session feature:

How do I tell notepad to always open all files with a specific language?

In Style Configurator you can add to every lexer user defined file name extensions which should be opened with that lexer:

@Lody-J-Claessen

I get, that npp is running but only the icon disappeared from the taskbar while currently active, right?
Can you post your debug-info, which is available from the last menu, the ? menu?
Can you describe a little bit in more detail what exactly you are doing?
I’m not familiar with reload script …, how is this relevant? Is this something how you start normally npp?
Or something you do within npp, if so what exactly is supposed to happen?
