    Hello @Doug-Byrt,

    when formatting text by indenting the critical component is the font.
    As long as all editors uses the same font, with the same size, there is a good chance that the
    formatted text looks the same.

    The next point is, how do you intend? By using the tab?
    I assume so, editors can have different settings in regards to the width of a tab because
    it is possible that a tab is represented by spaces. One editor might set 4 space per tab
    whereas another one sets 2 spaces or 8 …

    and monospaced fonts are most suitable when formatting text.

    You maybe wanna check out this post from guy038 or this article at codeproject.

    Cheers

    6.8.8.
    Weird thing is I see the carriage return happen the existing text drops to the next line leaving my macro of the html by itself
    but upon replay it just pushes my text to the right.
    going to try it one more time…

    Hello @Andy-Tschiersch,

    that is strange as NppFTP is a plugin which normally is ignored when npp gets updated.
    Do you use a local or %APPDATA% configuration?
    If local, can you check if the directory npp_install_dir\plugins\Config\NppFTP still exists?
    (or %APPDATA\notepad++\plugins\Config\NppFTP)
    Within this directory, there should be two xml files, certificates and NppFTP.xml, is this the case?
    NppFTP holds the configuration.

    Cheers

    Hi David,

    in my opinion this is a typical feature-request.

    I think it would be a good idea to give the Function List an context-menu.

    Hello @Peter-Brand,

    all those keywords are already part of actual langs.xml and langs.model.xml.
    Note, when updating npp, langs.xml doesn’t get updated to prevent overwritting of user configured langs.xml.
    If you don’t have modified your langs.xml you can overwrite it with langs.model.xml to get the latest version.

    Cheers

    Dear @Steven-Epps,

    I have to apologize, I don’t know what got into me posting such a nonsens.
    With current version of UDL you cannot highlight strings based on a suffix.
    What you could do so is to use e.g. F_ as unique identifier for functions
    and define delimiter start F_ and end :
    So, F_RESEARCH: would get highlighted.

    Sorry

    Hello Claudia,

    Thanks for the answer. I have already assigned a shortcut to the print now function and I’m happy with this solution.
    I don’t know if I will use the Customize toolbar plugin but it will probably help someone else.
    I’m using a professional GMail account linked to Frédéric Bagnol from my company who created the account since I don’t use my personnal GMail account at work.

    Best regards,

    Hello Ernie,

    you did it - the missing dropbox connection is/was the porblem.
    RegOpenKey didn’t take that long, because it is like this

    os tries to do an action (e.g. query registry)
    once that is done, an event gets sends telling us if it failed or was successful.
    procmoc captures that event. So we need to compare this event with the previous one to
    see if it has been taken to long.

    So in your example RegOpenKey took only 0.0000142 seconds

    5:37:51.1926924 PM notepad++.exe 4508 RegQueryKey HKLM SUCCESS Query: Name
    5:37:51.1927066 PM notepad++.exe 4508 RegOpenKey HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\CTF\KnownClasses NAME NOT

    but next CreateFile took ~40 seconds.

    5:38:31.8234932 PM notepad++.exe 4508 CreateFile

    Regarding npp and dropbox. Npp doesn’t know about any local images, it treats the dropbox as a “normal” folder.
    So when it has been configured to open \\OFFICE-DESKTOP\Dropbox\Private\ERNIES it will try it and only this one.

    The reason why this took so long on windows 10 and not on windows 7 might be related to different tcp settings.
    When npp tries to open the connection it will wait until the responsible os component comes back. In this case
    the os has a defined value how long it waits before returning that it has been failed. The parameters in question
    can be found in the registry under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip and with explanation here.

    But be warned, there needs to be a good tcp/ip understanding when trying to optimze those settings.

    And regarding the -loadingTime parameter, it is case sensitive, so -loadingtime won’t work.

    Cheers

    Hello @Sven-Van-de-Velde,

    you could install python script plugin (or lua script plugin but not 100% sure if
    it is supporting open file in its current release, it’s pretty new) to get this done.

    Just out of my mind you would need editor.getSelText, editor.gotoLine and npp.open() to solve this.

    Because you wrote

    If not, would i be able to make a script in notepad++ that does that or is there a plug-in available that i can install and configure to facilitate this functional requirement.

    I don’t post the script as I do not want to spoil the party to develop such script ;-)

    Cheers

    Hello @Matt-Grice,

    but the scroll bar is visible isn’t it? Did you try resizing npp to a slightly smaller size and see if this help?
    Unfortunattely I don’t have such an environment to test myself.

    Cheers

    Hello @Chirag-Jangid,

    and solution for the Explorer might be to create the shortcut yourself.
    Press F5 (I assume you didn’t reassign this shortcut) or use Run->Run
    and put it

    explorer.exe $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)

    press save it, give it a meaningful name and assign the accelerator(shortcut)

    @DaveyD, thx for helping out ;-)

    Cheers

    Hello @Richard-Landén,

    either by using a different theme or by modifying the existing one.

    Settings->Style Configurator

    use global styles and global override if it should be set to all languages
    or select one particular language.
    If global background color should be used click enable global background color
    But be aware that coloring of languages are different so it could be that you need to
    tweak different other parts to see everything clear.

    Cheers

    well, to be honest, I never tried it - I hope Thomas understood that I was talking about normal searches.
    I should have mentioned it more clearly, for sure.

    Hello @Chirag-Jangid,

    In settings->preferences->misc you can specify the extension yourself
    but yes, in save dialog you have to add the extension.

    @mookiefdr

    Header is checked; footer is not; they both print out dark; only the font size, not the font type is displayed (font type box is blank for both)

    PDF print is dark; in fact, everything else I have cut and pasted into is printed dark without settings adjustments (MS Office, Libreoffice, Adobe Reader, MS Notepad)

    Hello @Jose-Cunha,

    you can use UDL (Language->Define your language) to create the syntax highlighting and create an api.xml
    (check …\plugins\APIs\php.xml for more information) to get the hints on a function etc…

    Cheers
