  @vbloke2020 , The ...\Microsoft\Windows\Recent folder is a Microsoft Windows-specific folder, where the Windows OS keeps links to “recently used files”. So if files are being created there, it’s likely a link, and it’s likely because you have the Windows feature for tracking recently-used-files open, and you had recently opened a file called CustomDestinations<alpha_numerics>.temp, whether intentionally or as a side effect. You can control the MS Windows setting at Start Menu > Settings > Personalization > Start, with the “Show recently opened items …” toggle. If it’s really Notepad++ that’s “creating” that file, likely one of your plugins is creating a temporary file someplace else (presumably in a temporary folder), and then Windows is creating a shortcut to that file in that ...Windows\Recent folder.

  @Tanja-Burovska , There is no official native port of Notepad++ to the Mac. However, I believe there are some here who have used the Notepad++ on a Mac before, probably using something like Wine (which is a tool for running Win32 applications on Linux, but since Mac is built on Linux, I believe I’ve heard Wine works on Macs, too). So the best I could say is, “try installing Wine for Mac, then install Notepad++ using Wine”. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to those environments or tools, so I cannot give you more than that.

  have nothing to do with Notepad++'s existing FunctionList At least FunctionList will scan the entire text. I thought maybe it can resolve the hierachy path at the same time. But now I think it’s more like the Scintilla’s job. It appears to be more of a request appropriate for the XMLTools plugin. I don’t know if such a plugin exists or can be build. And It’s not limited to xml codes If I can get Scintilla’s folding hierachy, right?

  @Alan-Kilborn The script is NOT intended to be run multiple times, say, in order to toggle the feature on/off. If this is desired, we can tweak the script I wouldn’t mind seeing such a feature, but it’s fine without it. I’d sooner have it also reveal the following code points when the encoding is ANSI/cp1252, which I actually use more often than Unicode: 129, 141, 143, 144, 157 = All undefined in NPP’s character panel, and everywhere else I’ve consulted. 160 = Non-breaking space Perhaps it was a coincidence; you just thought that was what you saw happen? Maybe, but I’m not worried about it enough to investigate. I think Show All Characters is bad UI text, because of what it implies I agree, and have thought the same thing. One email correspondent of mine often sends messages that have ASCII non-breaking spaces in them, which he claims to have no idea why they’re in there, but it trips me up when editing quoted text in my replies, as I often use Ctrl-Left Arrow and Ctrl-Right Arrow to navigate horizontally, and it ends up skipping over multiple words that are only separated by NBS. @PeterJones It might help to add something like, Or maybe use I’ll keep them in mind, thanks. It’s actually not that big of a deal.

  @Collin-Walsh said in Make Notepad++ dark (not editor theme, but editor itself): I personally haven’t tried it. it worked But I think… Why don’t you try it, see if it works, then you don’t have to think … you’ll know. And then you can post something meaningful here when you report back on how things went.

  @Jap-Leuk , The menu entries Edit > Comment / Uncomment > … do work – including toggle (Ctrl+Q) and single-line comment (Ctrl+K), even in the most recent Notepad++ (v7.8.9) You hint that you are authoring some sort of webpage (“the text … was not used on the website”), but you are mentioning c/c+±style comments /* ... */ and // ... . Javascript does use c+±style comments, but you were not very helpful in the description of the problem; I cannot tell what’s really going on for you. If the same exact code, manually typed in some other application (like Microsoft’s notepad.exe) produces the same results that you get when you type the code in Notepad++, then the question is really about the coding, not about Notepad++, so you’ve asked the question in the wrong place (cookies!), and you need to find a more appropriate forum for your question. However, if you are truly convinced that Notepad++ itself is doing something wrong, you will get better help if you can explain the problem by using actual text (use the </> button on the forum toolbar to format your text so it doesn’t get mangled by the forum) and/or screenshots of what’s happening. (If you find that all your screenshots are from your web browser, once again I maintain that you’re probably asking the question in the wrong forum.) You need to explain to us what you think Notepad++ is doing wrong, what Notepad++ is actually doing, and how you think Notepad++ should do it differently.

  @Terry-R Enjoy the holiday, forget about the forum for a while! :-) Okay. But, and it is a big BUT, people don’t want to type a filename AND select a dropdown in N++. Or maybe they do, because we used to have huge noise about how N++ wouldn’t autoappend the extension based upon what they chose in the dropdown.

  Thanks. (The only reason I’m using the Microsoft Store version is that this is a work laptop and I don’t have admin privileges to otherwise make a portable install of Notepad++ the default text file handler. But your point is noted.)

  @guy038 said in FunctionList help: I realized that my nice theory is, most of the time, rather useless So I guess I am confused by this. Just select all this text… (and further instructions) Yes, but isn’t it often the case that you don’t have handy such an exact text you need to search for? Maybe you need to search for a certain character, and all you have is its code. Example, the cheese wedge from before. You may immediately know that it is \x{1F9C0} but that’s all you know and you want to search for it.

  @Matthew-Ewer That’s a good explanation of what might have happened here. But since the OP never returned to continue the exchange, I suppose the issue is dead. if you expect sorting to ignore leading whitespace Just a note to say that Notepad++'s sorting doesn’t ignore leading whitespace, just in case someone thinks it can from the above.

  @Kosmos-Huynh Something like this should do what you try to achieve from Npp import notepad import os root_directory = r'C:\xyz\xyz\A' for _dir, _, _files in os.walk(root_directory): for _file in _files: if _file.endswith('.mht'): __file = os.path.join(_dir, _file) notepad.open(__file) notepad.saveAs(__file.replace('.mht','.txt')) notepad.close()

  @David-Smith-0 If you are going to make a feature request, HERE might be a good place to put it, although it isn’t an open issue, developers might reopen it for your new request.

  @tseGIT Ah, so it wasn’t call or start at all? It was the HexEditor plugin. Maybe that should be the first debug question with all problems, “Are you using the HexEditor plugin?” It seems to cause a good number of strange issues.
