I saved it as a .txt file and then I get the box thanks for the help!

Well, really, that last sentence was all I needed. :)
Tnx!
Guess it’s time I spent some time roaming around Notepad++ menus instead of thinking I’m using my grandad’s Notepad. :)

Hi Kelly,

good to see that the docs are still available but now it’s time to update npp, isn’t it? ;-)
Don’t feel stupid - who solved it? - yourself. Be happy ;-)

Cheers

@Claudia-Frank

Outstanding! Thanks for the quick reply!

This thread might give you some ideas on this topic:

There is no builtin way to achieve this but see here.

I do understand. It worked. Thank you so much Claudia!

Hello Ben-Frey,

natively, no. What could be done is using a python script.
But this is a bit of a hack as this script would set all chars
you define as a stop char. But this means also you need to install
the python script plugin. Instructions how to setup are here.

The script would look like this

import os ext = '.txt' # extension which shouldn't have autocompletion charset = '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_' # chars which should prevent autocompletion def callback_BUFFERACTIVATED(args): filename, extension = os.path.splitext(notepad.getBufferFilename(args["bufferID"])) if extension == ext: editor.autoCStops(charset) notepad.clearCallbacks([NOTIFICATION.BUFFERACTIVATED]) notepad.callback(callback_BUFFERACTIVATED, [NOTIFICATION.BUFFERACTIVATED])

Cheers

Thank you Claudia, that absolutely set me on the right track.

I assume you used %APPDATA% during installation, if so, can you please try the following

make sure no npp is running open %APPDATA% directory and rename Notepad++ to Notepad++old start npp and make your test.

Cheers

Hello Michael-Whitmore,

Afaik it means you can’t call the saved function by using shortcuts as you haven’t assigned one.
Nothing to be afraid of.

Cheers
Claudia

Thanks, that worked. A bit more absolute than I would prefer but the tool is now usable again.

Hi Matt

In answer to your other question: no, previously I wasn’t getting any error messages upon notepad++ startup. That would have been nice, of course. So is there a bug to be reported here, and if so, to whom should it be reported? Is it a plugin bug or a notepad++ bug, or both?

That’s a good question, I assume it is the plugin manager and has to do with permissions when npp was installed instead of unpacked but didn’t tested it really.

Anyway, stay tuned, I’m sure I’ll have some Python Script newbie questions soon!

;-)

Cheers
Claudia

Hello Bill,

I have to thank you as I wouldn’t have discovered this feature yet.
Very interesting, indeed. Let’s see if it’s possible to have something like
approved-test-evironment gets automatically updated on server when
files are stored/overwritten in production folder.

Cheers
Claudia
