A small disadvantage is, that it doesn’t work as simple as for example Microsoft Excel. In Excel it’s one step: Select the row, or cell, and activate Frees Panes. The work-around involves 5 steps, I didn’t mention the synchronize horizontal scrolling.
I would like to select a row, right-click and freeze above, or freeze under. (or insert a small narrow separator)

The big disadvantage is that big gray separator. It’s not nice, and it’s sometimes hard to see where a header is pointing to.

@Michael-Bernhardt

a python script could, temporarily, write a descriptive ruler as first line and keep it always visible.
It could reformat the doc to have it more columnized or …

Or it could overwrite a statusbar section. E.g the DOCTYPE section, the leftmost section on the bottom to show the current column
or it could use npps second view to display it.

If you are willing to install python script plugin I could try to write a script which does what you want.
If so, please let me know what exactly should be done.

@Albert-Providenti

does your language support block comments?

Notepad++ doesn’t have a java decompiler builtin, you need to download one.

Thanks for the help Claudia - I will follow up on that.

Ah, thank you! Yes, there was something wrong with the font.

Yes, I have it set to WYSIWYG, but I think that refers only to color options, not font spacing. As you suggest, a monospace font may be the best workaround.

@Claudia-Frank Yes, I’m absolutely positive it’s the same file I worked on. I have about 4-5 tabs open in notepad; each for separate things I write. Neither of the other tabs have my lost text in them. As for the USB, I don’t use one for back up, though for situations like this, it looks like I may have to start doing that, hah… But yeah, I don’t have any backups I’ve created myself. Just that I figured with the crash, notepad would put my unsaved text in the backup folder, but seems like it didn’t.

But from what I can tell, my text is lost and there’s no way of getting it back, so looks like I have to suck up the lost and start over. =(

Regardless, thank you.

NPP determines the language from the file’s extension. If you open a .cpp file, it’s content will be highlighted according to C++ rules.

If you start a new file, NPP has no means to find out what highlighting rules to apply. In this case you have two options: a) Select your Language from the Menu labeled “Language” or b) save your file with an appropriate extension.

@Kuroi-Kitsune

??? - additional infos - ??? Your question isn’t very clear to me.

@Gabe-and-rhys

it depends on how you “execute” your code.
Some additional infos how you do that?

@Claudia-Frank Thanks Claudia. I just send you some very powerful energy for your creativity and to enhance your life in every way !!!

@Harry-Dirg

could it be that it tries to access files on d: which are automatically opened once npp started?

If not, software like procmon can be used to find out which file gets accessed. Maybe this gives
an indication what is going on.
