I am using v6.9.2 so I will update right now. Thanks! :)

IIRC, “Brief emulation” is an old term that people have come to understand to mean “keyboard shortcut” compatibility…in other words, can you flip a switch in Notepad++ and then have all the default shortcuts from Brief doing their corresponding functions in Notepad++.

The answer is NO to the “single switch flipping”, but you can program individually shortcut keys to most Notpad++ actions. It could be a lot of work to set up, but with good results obtained in the end.

See Settings menu -> Shortcut Mapper…

@Studio-VSDesign

one idea which comes instantly into my mind is … could you make a screenshot and upload it?

How should we know? :-)
I don’t expect that the official package has an virus but other bundles could have.
It could be also, that this is a false-positive identification.
If you are unsure, test it against multiple virus apps.
Like with https://www.virustotal.com.

You may have trigger a paste command with an empty text while you were recording your macro.

You can debug your macro : have a look in the C:\Users\luke.skywalker\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml file
here is mine.

<Macros> <!--Trim Trailing and save - Alt+Shift+S --> <Macro name="Trim Trailing and save" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="83"> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42024" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="2" message="0" wParam="41006" lParam="0" sParam="" /> </Macro> </Macros>

Cmd 42024 => <!–Trim Trailing Space - -->

Try to post yours

xmf => xml
sorry for the Typo, I should’nt write on my smartphone

That’s not the same as having a hard-limit like the OP is asking for, but it helps! :)
