    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.

    LocationNavigate

    Just putting my $0.02 in that I have used LocationNavigate since Notepad++ time began (at least when its time began for me) and I have never had any kind of problem with it. In fact, it might just be the plugin that keeps me in 32-bit land. [Well, for now the fact that Pythonscript won’t work with N++ 7.7 is also a contributor to that].

    @acapi said:

    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.

    I just noticed I forgot to change back from editor1.xxx to editor.xxx: for my debugging, I was editing the script in editor2, so wanted to make sure it would run on my test file in editor1 every time… but for actually usage, you should use editor, so it always checks the active editor pane, whichever it is.

    @Ekopalypse Mmm…I’ve tried many options, and in none do I get what I want…although I really believe that NFO will use a monospaced font by default and the “perfect” size so…great.

    My only option was to go edit Monokai.xml to replace all fonts and sizes with nothing (for security, I made a copy).
    - Find what : fontName=([“'])(?:(?=(\?))\2.)*?\1
    - Replace with : fontName=”"
    - [X] Regular expression
    * And then change fontName to fontSize

    Then I had to go back to Styler Configurator to configure it like this:
    UGVi7Z2.png
    * The same with Default Style

    I didn’t have to touch anything more than that and that’s it…at least plain text (like .txt), HTML, CSS, JS and XML look like before. While the NFO looks perfect (better than the image I showed you with Courier New in 10).
    I’m not sure if it’s a perfect solution, but it seems to work.

    Hmmm… hjt… quick search indicates that file type is used by PIM software.

    Error reading first article/node with ID = 0
    Invalid data found in file

    One presumes that error is coming from said PIM software, and not Notepad++ itself. It sounds like you’ve done something to screw up your file.

    I don’t think anyone here will be able to help; you are likely really close to baking up some cookies.
