Hello @Felipe-Nuñez, here is the most comprehensive information, afaik. Cheers Claudia

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. Cheers Claudia

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. Cheers Claudia

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. Cheers Claudia

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)) Cheers Claudia

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. Cheers Claudia

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. Cheers 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. +1 BR, Robert

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 Claudia

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 Claudia
