Hello @manjunath-v.s

I assume you disabled Settings->Preferences->Backup->enable session snapshot and preiodic update.
But be be aware that it comes with a drawback as reported by a few users.

Hello @Zdzislaw-Twardy,

afaik this isn’t possible as it is a fixed dialog but if it is related to programming languages only then
you should already get e.g. the powershell script extension selected, of course only if the lexer has been selected.

Hello @AL-Hasan-Haj-Asaad

Mac platform still a big problem

there are different possibilities to run notepad++ on a mac (not natively but it is possible)
A) run npp within a vm -> parallels support windows
B) use software like winebottles to run npp on mac

I don’t know why does not a big program such NPP++ support this platform _?

npp uses windows api heavily and os’s like osx and linux do have different api,
so in order to support those os’s you need to either provide three different versions
or introduce an additional layer which abstracts each os api with the benefit to slow
down npp execution.

In regards to your question,
is a bit of a hack and works only if char is added.
What needs to be done first is described here

The script itself

import winsound soundfile = "C:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav" def callback_CHARADDED(args): winsound.PlaySound(soundfile, winsound.SND_FILENAME) editor.clearCallbacks([SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.CHARADDED]) editor.callback(callback_CHARADDED, [SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.CHARADDED])

Of course you need to change the path to the soundfile.

I’m using Notepad++, Thank you I got it now, I forgot to put the style in the styles directory, it works fine now! Thank you so much!

Hello Harry,

I’m the one, who posted this reply to Clearinghouse Forsale, three months ago, about ! Refer to the link below :

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/10848/need-some-help-with-find-and-replace/3

And indeed, reading again this old post, I just realize that I didn’t pay enough attention to the line :

now as you see, i have alot of lines that state begin…type tree…age ##### end

So, the replacement should occur, ONLY IF the lines contain the word Tree, before the word Age !

In that case, just change the search regex as :

Tree .* Age \K.+(?= END$)

REMARKS :

There a space, BEFORE and AFTER the words Tree and Age, and a space BEFORE the last word END !

I also added the $ symbol, to be sure that we search for the word END, at the very end of each line

NOTES :

This time, the search regex is looking, FIRST, for any text, in a same line, between a first occurrence of the word Tree and a last occurrence of the word Age ( Tree .* Age )

Due to the \K form, this previous match is, then, forgotten by the regex engine

Next, it tries to match a non empty list of characters (.+)

But, ONLY IF that list is followed with a space and the word END, which ends the current line ( (?= END$) ). So it selects the exact number, only, between the word Age and the keyword END !

Thanks Claudia,

It didn’t take long to learn you were the go-to guru around here.

Hello @Barry-Parr,

I can think of a python script which might be able to do this.
If you want to go this way, let me know what exactly needs to be done.
Do you really want every txt file to be checked if first line is .LOG?
Should it log the timestamp every time you open the file or every time
you switch to the file? Or do you want a script which will insert the timestamp
when using a shortcut?

Cheers

Hello @Gerhard-Auinger,

I do have quote and double quote completion. Maybe try uncheck it, restart npp,
check it again or check config.xml

<GUIConfig name="auto-insert" parentheses="yes" brackets="yes" curlyBrackets="yes" quotes="yes" doubleQuotes="yes" htmlXmlTag="no" />

In regards to html5 tag main, if using html lexer <main> gets colored in blue.

Cheers

Hello @Jae-Hun-Daniel-Hwang,

I don’t have an environment to test it, so I was checking NppFTP
issues and there has been a similar issue reported with a possible solution
reported at stackoverflow.

Cheers
Claudia

Hello @Rich-Goldman,

jfyi that it has been addressed.

Settings menu > Preferences > General

Place checkmark next to “Show” option in “Document List Panel” group beneath “Toolbar” group.

This should restore the Doc Switcher panel.

Hello Steve, Claudia and All,

May be an option to enable/disable the “intelligent” auto-insert feature ( introduced since N++ 6.8.4 ) would be judicious, in the Settings - Preferences - Auto-Completion - Auto-Insert area ?

So, when this option is UNCHECKED, we would find, again, the old auto-insert behaviour !

I suppose that, by-passing the part of code that produces the new behaviour, in order to get the old automatic auto-insert behaviour, shouldn’t be too difficult to code, anyway !

Of course, it’s up to Don Ho and/or the devs, which coded the auto-insert feature

Best Regards,

Oh my god thank you so much! I tore my hair for a couple of hours!

I’m bald now but at least I have a working function list in Lua :)

Thanks again!

Hello @Endie-Black,

what you are referring to is called folding.
This is nomally done by the lexer of a programming language like c, python, lua etc…
If the text you have isn’t popular code language, then it might be possible to define
a user defined language (UDL) to make this happen but therefore we need to see
how this text looks like to find some kind of pattern.

Cheers
Claudia
