I fixed it. I just commented those lines out. Thanks :)

@Jake-Macklin

current version comes with the DSpellCheck plugin installed.
Check the manual to see if it can do what you need.

@Javier-Diaz-de-Rabago

this is not really a notepad++ question I guess, because npp,
as well as any other text editor on the planet
doesn’t care about what kind of python libraries you use.
There must be something wrong in your run configuration
if the same code runs under IDLE but don’t run if executed,
by whatever way you chose to execute, via npp.

Thank you this worked :D

@Luis-Santos

Is it possible to open a feature request

This will tell you have to make a feature request: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/15741/faq-desk-feature-request

@Claudia-Frank
Great, thank you!
The post from @scott-sumner helped me to assign shortcut to the script
(https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/14703/run-python-script-pythonscript-plugin-with-a-shortcut)…

@Giliann-Sauret

no, ((EOL)) is the only special variable you could use together with UDL.

There seem to be a difference in OS as well because I went through all of the installed
fonts on my linux and none of them behave like described. I always see a consistent behavior regardless whether the 〕is used in front or not.
For example the font DejaVu Sans Mono on linux show only the rectangles.

@Scott-Sumner

sorry - seems I totally misunderstood what OP was asking for.
I thought OP wants to jump back to the original (starting) position,
not to the last position which was ok to be replaced. And now I’m thinking that
this jump (to where the action started) wasn’t possible before at all.

@Ravi-Ponna

could it be that you try to save the file with saveas instead of save?

@Kevin-Morris

Has anyone else noticed this?

Not me, could it be that you are using a plugin which is locking the clipboard?
If not, could you describe a reproducible scenario when this happens?

Cheers
Claudia

@Brandon-Carter

open folder as project only allows me to select desktop for some reason anyone know why or how to fix it?

Could you please a little bit more specific what exactly you are doing?
For more information see here.

Also I’m looking for a autosave every x amount of seconds plugin that works with the newest notepad++ if anyone knows of one thanks.

What is the issue with the ones available via plugin manager?
Or are you affected by this.
Cheers
Claudia

@Robert-Shiffman

not 100% sure I understand your issue correctly but is this your problem?

Cheers
Claudia

@Claudia-Frank
thanks! this is exactly what I was looking for.

that would be the case if it was you who was also indenting with 2 spaces, but you are not the only one who codes, you get a code from other people who may indent with 4 spaces, 6 spaces, 8 spaces or whatever it is that they decided to indent with.

Then, you want to convert that to your own style, and you cannot do this automatically, you still have to manually do it, by going into the preferences and changing your tab length to whatever the other coder formatted with, then you open another code formatted with a different set of spaces, then you do the same etc.

At least, it would be nice if we had like a tab length : 2 option in the status bar, where you can quickly set your tab length.

We can easily see what EOL the file is formatted with and convert the EOLs from the statusbar.
I really like that EOL option offered there on the status bar, and is perfect.
But, the same is simply not the case for the indents. That area, I think can be improved upon programmatically.

If anyone knows a script to make these conversions more automatic, please let me know.

PARTIALLY SOLVED:

It turns out that NP++ executable process returns “ready” state to Windows API before it is actually ready as it still running plugin activity. In my case JSLint’s syntax check of Unix-LF (UTF-8 without BOM) files apparently takes longer versus Windows-CRLF (UTF-8 without BOM) files, and this is how NP++ ends up not being able to process “Control+S” as a short-cut to save the file, but as a text input that shows up as “DC3”, corrupting it. Thus the solution is to use “Sleep 1000” AutoHotKey command before generating “Control+S” key combination or to swap it with the call for JSLint syntax check.

However, why the underlying issue of NP++ allowing ASCII control codes to be inserted in the text is still not fixed, is still a question. At no circumstances NP++ should allow the corruption of texts by garbage.
