Hello @Daniel-Davis,

afaik, you can’t as this is a builtin function of the bash lexer. If you want to change
it you need to rewrite the code for that part.

Hello @Silvia-Crognale,

it all depends what you actually want to have and do but
I guess it could be done, but I assume not from npp natively.
You need to install scripting language plugins like python script, lua script, java script or even
nppexec could be used, but as said, it depends…

Hello @Felipe-Nuñez,

here is the most comprehensive information, afaik.

Yes, I know that setting. I was confused because I thought you mean that double-clicking
on a file will automatically start a new instance of npp. But this doesn’t make sense
when reading the rest of your question. Sometimes I should just take the time to
read the post carfully and maybe twice. But good to see that your fouund a solution
to your issue.

Hello Buck,

what you could do is to disable autocompletion at all.
To do so click on Settings->Preferences->Auto Completion
and uncheck Enable auto-completion on each input and
Function parameters hint on input. Close.

Hello @Keith-Shannon,

imho, that isn’t possible yet and in addition I don’t see how it can be implemented easily.
The reason for this is that the underlying scintilla component doesn’t allow to set a
predefined width.

What could be done, as long as it is text you wanna reformat and not code, is using split lines
which takes care about the vertical line but the split is always done by word boundaries.

CTRL+A and CTRL+I

will give you an idea about this.

Hello @Cees-Timmerman,

I think the simplest solution would be to keep the block comments definition and introduce
another delimiter with start = # and end = ((EOL))

You are awesome! This is very much appreciated! It will be nice to follow this progress.

Thanks! That did the trick.

In editors with no support for counting, you might still be able to replace your search phrase with itself (no actual changes to the content) - some editors do report the number of replacements that were carried out. No need for such hacks in NPP though!

sorted thank you for helping me - really appreciated Claudia
cheers Petra

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.

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…

thank you! that works

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.

Claudia

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.
