    I have now used the compare 1.5.6.7 without any problem, as compared to the plugin manager normal download. Now it works as it is supposed to and a big relief.
    Why is it simple things get overlooked. Thanks for help resolving.

    Well, I don’t know exactly what’s happening, but I think I have some useful insight. You were right that the problem was tied to the UDL “AutoHotKey” (which is not authored by me). So I checked the XML file that defines that UDL, and noticed that every style in the <styles> section had a fontName specified, and that the font specified was not a font on my system.

    In the “Define your language…” dialog within NPP, all the “Styler” buttons were leading to dialogs with “Font options” -> “Name” being blank, which I assumed to mean “use the default style”. However it appears that NPP is NOT using the default style when it doesn’t recognise the font specified in the XML file. Why or even if that leads to the strange bracket-matching behaviour above, I don’t know.

    For now, I have removed those fontName specs from the AutoHotKey UDL on my system, and NPP now uses the default font as expected, so everything is fine.

    I hope this information can help lead to the bug being tracked down.

    Hello @Quitch,

    can you check the session.xml file and see it the proper language has been set.
    If yes, can you post it?

    Cheers

    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 ;-)

    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

    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.

    Hello Michael,

    unfortunattely I din’t get it managed.
    I strongly believe that the current version of UDL cannot answer this question.

    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.

    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

    In theory with a few code modifications it would be possible though.

    After 3 months I found something that worked!
    I went to the plugin manager and discovered I had installed the NppJumpList that promises to give the Windows 7 jumplist support. I’m not sure it is installed by default or if I manually added it but turns out it doesn’t work on Windows 10 and was causing the issue. After I uninstalled the plugin NPP now works fine when pinned to the taskbar.

    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
