Hi Scott,

You are correct. Sorry, my first time posting. There are * characters missing

You said “eliminate numbers before and after |”, but your example showed eliminating the numbers at the beginning or end of the line (or maybe it’s eliminating numbers at the beginning of the line, or after the final |)

Assuming that your example, not your words, is what you want:

@Jeff-Jansen

couldn’t figure out how to Add an action not already in the Name column

Well, you can’t add any actions in the Shortcut Mapper. They are what they are. If you can’t find what you are looking for exactly, perhaps you can combine a sequence of several actions into a macro and then assign that macro your desired keycombination. Have a look at the Macros menu and its commands, try some things, and if you can’t figure it out and need more help, post here again.

Notepad++ does not run the javascript. It is just used for editing it. Normally, a browser (or some other javascript engine) will run the code. In my experience, you usually do not load a .js file directly in your browser and expect it to run… normally, you build an HTML file which calls the javascript in some way. Perhaps you should try to create that HTML, and launch that HTML in your browser. (The results will be in the browser, of course, not in Notepad++.)

If I have not answered your question to your satisfaction, maybe you could better explain what exactly you want done, and why it is something that Notepad++ (which is a text editor, not a js-engine or browser) should perform for you.

@Ted-Lawrence

Press the and release Insert key. There is a status bar section that will say INS or OVR (IIRC) to show if you are in “insert” (vertical caret or block) or “overwrite” (underline caret) mode.

I think this qualifies for this response.

I probably should have mentioned what has disappointed people in the past: The styling you do with this won’t be remembered by Notepad++ if you exit and restart it. It doesn’t bother me all that much; perhaps that’s why I didn’t think to mention it in my first reply.

This isn’t an HTML forum, so you’ve probably asked in the wrong place.

Best guess: after saving the file in Notepad++, you need to reload in your browser (if your browser is pointed at the local file, with a file:// URL), or you forgot to upload to your file to your server (if your browser is pointed at an https:// URL).

If you really believe the problem lies with Notepad++, and not with the browser refresh or having to upload the file, then you are going to have to explain why you think it’s Notepad++ that’s going wrong, and give us more info.

(Please see the two FAQ answers linked above… they provide details as to why you’ve asked in the wrong place, and what kinds of information are useful when you are asking us for help.)
