Looks interesting, thank You. I
decided to use AutoHotkey as a workaround. I can ascribe a keyboard shortcut for it to insert the current date and time. Interestingly, it acts similarly to the TextFX - i.e. it obeys a user’s OS language. So instead of using native syntax to display a month’s name - I’ve used this:

formattime, monthvar, , MM if (monthvar=01) (cmonth:="January") if (monthvar=02) (cmonth:="February")

…and so on. And then, if I want to insert the current month’s name:

send ...some nice %cmonth%

@Leandro-Silva

Can you provide a screenshot of your data and the Find window so we can see your settings? You haven’t provided much detail in order for someone to give help. Info on how to do a screenshot here is found in this link.

in code of .bat do

if “%tjkdrrdiiff%”==“” (goto notselecteditem) else (goto selecteditem)
:notselecteditem
bin\filebrowse UNPACK_REPACK_V3.8_FINAL file_contexts.bin,file_contexts,boot.img, “boot.img|boot;file_contexts” > bin\fil76elocate.txt
set /p tjkdrrdiiff=< bin\fil76elocate.txt
if “%tjkdrrdiiff%”==“” (goto ejhcnnsjdj)
:selecteditem
del /S/Q bin\fil76elocate.txt

Removed it and reinstalled 7.7x32 didn’t help. removed and installed 5.86, worked, upgraded several iterations, at 7.7 problem reappeared. Copied my preferences, plugins, etc. to a safe area. Completely removed it, deleted folders, went through regedit and deleted all reference to notepad++. Worked up to 7.5.1 and only a minor issue with the old Coldfusion plugin that I had fixed before. I can work at it again or ignore it for the time being. The ColdFusion plugin is probably part of the problem and me forcing x35 may have messed up the “edit with Notepad++”, it appeared that there was enough of x64 left in the registry that windows was trying to start the x64 but only finding the x32 and could not keep it running.

Thanks…

just wondering if thats going to happen

It’s basically the same answer I gave to @Jorge-García-López yesterday: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/17772/notepad-bookmarking-lines-paste-to-replace-the-bookmarked-lines-alternative-software-in-linux

I would get a message stating to reinstall NotePadStarter

AFAIK, something called NotePadStarter isn’t related to Notepad++ so I might look really hard at that for this complaint.

Do I have to use the Charaters Map program and then past it in the window?

There are other ways. If you have a small handful, you can build macros and assign keyboard shortcuts. Or you could use something like a pythonscript-based procedure that when it sees a certain set of characters (like \U+2261), it could back up and replace it with the unicode character. (There may even be a plugin that does that; I don’t know.)

If you know the unicode number, like U+2261, you can use the Windows Alt-±hex notation. For example, hold down Alt, then use the numeric-keypad + key, then type the hex digits (where 0-9 should be on the keypad; a-f must be normal keyboard), then release the Alt key. Thus, Alt-+2261 puts the identical-to character.

This FAQ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/16178/faq-desk-why-does-my-docx-file-look-like-junk-in-notepad) explains, in English, why Word documents don’t work in Notepad++.

Notepad++ GUI is written with Windows GUI (win32) application calls, so without an interface like Wine which interprets those win32 calls, (from how I understand it) it would require a complete rewrite of Notepad++ to convert it to one of the standard Linux toolkits. At which point, the only real similarity would be that this new application used Scintilla as the underlying editor, and possibly tried to mimic the menus of the Windows Notepad++… That’s not going to happen (*). I’ve heard good things about how well it works in Wine or similar environments, so I think you should give it a chance there.

(*: at least, not by the current Notepad++ development team; anyone who does it outside of that is really making a new application, and should not use the Notepad++ name.)

Otherwise, there have frequently been discussions about “what’s the closest editor to Notepad++ in ___”, for MacOS or Linux, so search the forum archives for such. Since I’m not a linux texteditor expert, I don’t know which ones may or may not include bookmarking capability. I think the bookmarking capability may come from the scintilla component, in which case, any scintilla-based editor should have it. I searched for “scintilla based linux editors” and found this page, which lists linux and windows scintilla-based editors.

I have just upgraded to Notepad ++ 7.7 after upgrading I found that Find all in current document is not working . Now two panes are got getting opened.
What is suggestion here.

It is working for me, in v7.7 64-bit:

My guess (you didn’t give much info) is that the Find Results window is not properly docked, and is floating off-screen or behind some other application window. This recent thread gave instructions to help find the window. Combining @andrecool-68’s suggestions with mine:

Hit F7 (aka Search > Search Results Window) to try to bring the Find Results window into the foreground. If it’s docked in the Notepad++ window, it will show that docked window (similar to the end of my movie). If it’s not docked, it will bring the dialog window to the foreground… If you cannot see it, progress to step 2: Hit Alt+SPACEBAR, which should open up the FindResults title-bar-menu. If it opens the Notepad++ title-bar-menu instead, click in Notepad++ window again, and hit F7 again, then hit Alt+SPACEBAR again. It should bring up your normal Restore / Move / Size / Minimize / Maximize window – even if you cannot see it. If you are in an English-US locale with standard English-US keyboard, you should be able to hit M at this point to “move” the window. If you are in a different language, or have a different keyboard, you may have to use whatever keyboard shortcut is appropriate for “move” in your language. After hitting the Move keyboard shortcut, move your mouse to the center of your Notepad++ window and click. That should bring the Find Results dialog into your active screen. Now you can grab the title bar with your mouse, and drag it to the appropriate edge of the Notepad++ GUI to get it to dock.

welcome to the notepad++ community, @Ricardo-E.-Trelles

I don’t even think there are files I can copy from one installation to a new one and carry exactly all my settings. I usually copied session.xml and lately stylers.xml too to the new installation, but they don’t carry all the settings.

the main settings are inside %AppData%\Notepad++\config.xml on regular installed versions of notepad++.

to “clone” your complete notepad++, including all your customisations, from one machine to another:

please install the same version on the second machine (must also be the same, 32 or 64 bit release on both machines) for 32 bit versions: copy the complete folder %ProgramFiles(x86)\Notepad++ from the source machine to the same folder at the target machine. for 64 bit versions: copy the complete folder %ProgramFiles\Notepad++ from the source machine to the same folder at the target machine. copy the complete folder %AppData%\Notepad++ from the source machine to the same folder at the target machine.

best regards.

@Himanshu-Sindhi

I would certainly try:

Find: (?s-i)^Candidate Answer: .+\R
Replace: nothing
Search mode: Regular expression

When I copy that symbol from an html page to Notepad it appears as a little white square

Then your selected font doesn’t include a glyph for that Unicode codepoint. I was able to paste that character from your post into my Notepad++, and see the right glyph just fine in my normally-selected DejaVu Sans Mono (it’s a free font, available at https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/).

I went to Settings > Style Configurator, Language: Global Styles, Style: Default Style and changed Font name = Courier New, and it became a box, so the Courier New font (likely your default) doesn’t include that glyph.

The page http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/22a2/fontsupport.htm lists fonts that support that glyph. You may find you already have one of those fonts on your system, or you can install a font that does have it.

Update
I have also tested using a ftp server on ftp://localhost - again no connection via NPFTP but can connect using a browser.
Thanks
