@mpheath said in Help allowing users to install plugins: That should grant members of the users group Full permissions on the /Link folder. That does indeed sound interesting. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to test it, but I’ll report back here if/when I do

@Jordan-Adania Folding is the weak part of UDL. Sometimes it helps if you add an extra space after {. If this does not help, are you willing to share your current UDL and an example AHK script where this happens?

@Nasser-M-Abbasi said in how to disable the balloon tip in notepad++ in view->Document list?: This ballon tip bothers me so much as it makes it hard to see files inside notepad. How so? For me, the hover tip opens about 2 full “lines” below the entry it relates to, definitely away from where the action is, example: [image: 1663761304078-1fe46f8b-d048-4be7-91fa-d533e74f1f72-image.png] So, ok, new 6 is obscured in my example. If such a thing bothers you, get your mouse out of the Document List window. Why is your mouse even there, unless you intend to switch tabs – in that case, get in, do it, hover tip shouldn’t have an impact. The only other real reason to have the mouse in this window is to actually see the info from the hover tip. I will move to Linux because of this Seems extreme to me, but good luck!

@Michael-Vincent, Many thanks for your help.

@pnedev There is also report mentioning a possible coincidence with a pending N++ auto-update. User has periodic backups enabled too.

@Michael-Vincent now whork! Thank u Michael!

@Nick-Minchin Hopefully you took to heart some discussion about unnamed/unsaved documents and potential data loss. IMO an unnamed file should be saved into the file system with a real name very soon after creation. comparing unsaved changes to the original document The new ComparePlus plugin may be of interest to you for such a task.

@PeterJones Thanks for your clarification. Sorry for to present the question in this forum.

It worked, thanks a lot

@Kevin-Cook , When you have Dark Mode enabled, could you show us a screenshot of Settings > Preferences For example, for me, Dark Mode looks exactly like I’d expect: [image: 1663523115093-4d17cd39-a44e-4b27-8606-927fcfb23e9a-image.png] Also, share your Settings > Style Configurator dialog screenshot, maybe with Global Styles > Default Style selected, like: [image: 1663523156449-9f6507f5-1d9f-4d9d-a086-8dc581eef9dd-image.png] You also said, playing with Settings -> Style Configurator … Disabling Global styles “Global styles > Global override” with the overrides checkmarked is almost never what you want. A well-designed theme will properly inherit from “Global Styles > Default Style”, and should be reasonable for most users. (I know you said you have vision issues, and there are rare circumstances when vision issues will require checkmarking some of those overrides… but that should be a last resort.) [image: 1663523315637-bd4924a2-ffa1-4123-8951-4ff38ccdc43c-image.png] Using those overrides will mean there is no syntax highlighting… or, even worse, if you do it wrong, will mean that there is partial syntax highlighting, which might make things worse than if you’d just left the overrides off.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Exit Python loop when replacement count is 0: A modification to that one could be to limit the matches that research() will look for to 1, e.g.: Noted, and I like it. Thanks again.

@incarnare no, since it must not be activated. Can you post more details what you want to do?

@PeterJones said in Having trouble getting a macro to work as desired: put the example text in the same kind of text box you used for the macro XML I was going to add that in my reply, but I suspect OP doesn’t really know how he obtained that nice boxed-in formatting for his macros, so telling him to “do that again” may be pointless. :-) But here’s how it happened: He copied+pasted full lines from shortcuts.xml and because those lines have leading whitespace, the forum software thinks it is code and puts it in a nice code block. Probably any sample text the OP provides would not have that characteristic, and would need manual formatting to get the proper result.

@Charles-Carmichael Thanks very much for this and also the guidance on how to post real data, shows you how much of a novice I am. Thanks again

Hello @nick-minchin, @alan-kilborn and All, Here is the road map for this S/R : Open your file in Notepad++ Go to the very beginning of this file ( Ctrl + Home ) Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H ) SEARCH (?x-si) ( ^ \h* "formatter":\x20+"function | (?!\A) \G ) .*? \K " (?!$) REPLACE ' Un-tick all options Select the Regular expression search mode Click on the Replace All button ( Do not use the Replace button !) Voila ! This S/R will replace any non-trailing double quote ", only after the string "formatter": "function, with a simple quote ', in all the lines of your file Best Regards guy038
