  It took me some time to figure out what you did there (I am new to NPP …) - but yes! that is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for your kind help.

  @M-Andre-Z-Eckenrode said in Want to copy all from specific character to end of line of each line.: very handy Python script…which allows you to copy all marked text, and requires installing the Python Script plugin It appears that this ability might be “going native”, meaning no longer a need for a script to do it. See https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/8867 It isn’t accepting in to the actual codebase yet as of this writing, so if you’d like to see that feature with “inside Notepad++” support, maybe comment at that site. For me, I’ve had that script set up for a long time, so it makes no difference to me.

  @I-neuw , As it says in https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/config-files/ The underlying XML files are all found in %AppData%\notepad++\ (or, for zip-based local installations, in the Notepad++ executable directory) unless otherwise noted.

  @PeterJones Actually, NOPE!, I sure didn’t. Thanks for the reminder. I actually think I’m pretty good at remembering previous questions/answers, but not this time.

  @Joseph-McCay , There are some known issues with High DPI. I don’t know if this “dancing text selection” is one of them. (I don’t have high DPI, so cannot test) Also, you might want to see if one of your plugins is causing the issue: run with the -noPlugin command line argument and see if the problem persists: if it goes away, it was one of your plugins. You can then start trying plugins one at a time to see which causes it to come back (if you rename the folders in <installdir>/plugins/ and re-run Notepad++, any plugin whose folder name was changed will not be loaded; so you could rename them all, then one-at-a-time name them correctly again, until the problem comes back.) Or you may have to wait for a user with High DPI to chime in, if they have seen this. “feature” (maybe to mess with intoxicated people)? The developer has an odd sense of humor, but I doubt he adds “features” to intentionally mess with people (unless you consider the ghost-typing and easter-egg options to be “messing with people”). :-)

  Thank you both for the great answers. @ astrosofista thanks for the suggestion, I forgot to mentioned my goal was to use native language of NPP. @ PeterJones, Thanks for the pointers the “(?-s)$” , “\x20” , “\R+(?!\Z)” , etc. would have been days of trial and error. I recorded the 2 macro and merged them manually in shortcuts.xml. Works like a charm. </Macro> <Macro name="add quotes and source name and merge as single line" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0"> <Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="(?-s)^.+$" /> <Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="2" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1602" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam='&quot;$0&quot;' /> <Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="512" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1609" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1700" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1601" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="\R+(?!\Z)" /> <Action type="3" message="1625" wParam="0" lParam="2" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1602" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="\x20or [Source.Name] =\x20" /> <Action type="3" message="1702" wParam="0" lParam="512" sParam="" /> <Action type="3" message="1701" wParam="0" lParam="1609" sParam="" /> </Macro>

  @Sebastian-Freeh said in How to turn Link into clickable description: @PeterJones I think the Markdown++ Plugin sounds interesting. I will give it a go. Do you know any good references for it on how to integrate and use the plugin? Install the MarkdownViewer++ plugin using Plugins Admin. Open or save a markdown file (usually .md) associated with a Markdown UDL (see Languages menu). Plugins > MarkdownViewer++ > MarkdownViewer++ to open the panel. So there is no chance to render the links in the editor panel? In any case I need a second preview panel to see the renderd version? That is what I said, yes. I understand the notepad++ policy for this, it would be great however, if notepad++ would give you the option for rendering links in addition to make them clickable. It’s just such a useful feature. Notepad++ is a text / source code editor, not a WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get”) editor. If you want a WYSIWYG editor, it’s a different kind of application.

  Hello, @jeff-brewer, @peterjones, @olivier-thomas and All, Here is my solution : SEARCH Account Number(:\h*.*[\l\u])|- REPLACE ?1Description\1 Note : When a dash is matched, the group 1 does not exist. As the conditional replacement ?1Description\1 does not contain any else part, any dash character is then deleted ! Best Regards, guy038

  Alt+l+x tag is not adding in macro

  @vijay-S said in Alt+l+x tag is not adding in macro: I have a single line big xml. … without downloading TExtFX or XMl tools plugin. is there any way Notepad++ does not have any native XML formatting tools built in. I understand that having XML (or HTML, or any other code) all on a single line with no line breaks can be annoying. There are two good ways and a bad way to format XML (or any other code), and a fourth way that is really just a lame workaround: Download a plugin that already handles it, like XML Tools. You have rejected this without giving a reason, even though this is the best answer to give you Note: TextFX hasn’t been maintained in years, and thus hasn’t kept up-to-date with modern Notepad++. I wouldn’t recommend that route. Download a tool unrelated to Notepad++ which will give you an external .exe file which will format your XML for you. This is better than nothing, but not as convenient as having it in a Notepad++ plugin @Michael-Vincent has posted that he uses tidy5 for XML, and runs that (and other code tidy apps) using an NppExec script shared in another post. Of course, that also involves a plugin, so even though it’s another good suggestion, you are likely to reject it. Do a poor-man’s “xml tidy”, which just involves splitting at the end > of every XML tag. FIND = >, REPLACE = >\r\n will put a newline after ever > This will not do any fancy indenting If you want fancy indenting, use a tool developed for the job, like the XML Tools plugin or tidy5 or whatever other external tool you want Workaround: Turn on word-wrap, and Notepad++ will at least visually wrap, so you can change the width of your editor window to decide how many characters will be shown per “line”. Please note that this doesn’t change the underlying XML, so that will still all be one big long line. Rejecting pre-made and already-debugged solutions will only hurt you and the quality of your work. Thinking that we will re-invent the wheel for you, just because you don’t happen to like a particular brand of tire, could be considered rather selfish. I recommend using suggestion #1 or #2. Good luck.
