    This is a problem with Scintilla, meaning you should report it to them.

    thx for the flowers but to be honest, this wasn’t that difficult as I were in the same situation as OP some time ago. It drove me crazy and I wasn’t able to find the reason because I was looking for npp settings only. Then one day, per accident, I checked the settings of location navigate plugin and, voila, here we go. :-) Cheers Claudia

    Hello Camilo, In addition to the Claudia’s Search/Replacement, we could simplify and shorten a bit this S/R, as below : Find what: ^(?:.+?,){3}\K(.+?,)(.+?), Replace with : \2 \1 Notes : ^ represents the classical assertion Start of line (?:.+?,){3} represents a non-capturing group, repeated three times, exactly, in order to go through the first three columns. This group is the smallest range of standard characters, with its comma delimiter The \K syntax forces the regex engine to forget any previous match of the regex So, the remainder, (.+?,)(.+?),, is the final match, which gets the 4th column along with the comma delimiter AND the 5th column, without its comma delimiter In replacement, the syntax \2 \1 just swaps these two columns, with a space between them IMPORTANT : As the \K form is used, your MUST perform a global replacement, clicking on the Replace All button. The Step by Step replacement, with the Replace button, does nothing, in that specific case ( N++ bug ) ! Best regards, guy038

    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. WPB

    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. :)

    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 Claudia

    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
