@YellowAfterlife

one other step you can do to overcome the UDL limitation is to
use an scripting language plugin like pythonscript and a script
like discussed here.

That’s pretty cool! I didn’t realize that plugins were allowed to touch Scintilla. Maybe I’d be able to write a native plugin directly if documentation proves sufficient and I find time to do so.

I’m eagerly anticipating learning what mnemonic keys are – please explain and maybe your question can be answered.

Thanks, in a document with 124,000 lines, this deleted 20,000 lines in about 10 seconds. Notepad++ is so awesome. Shoutout to Don Ho

@IBIT_ZEE

If I understand correctly you are looking for something like this !?

Basically, you want to enhance an existing UDL or builtin lexer, correct?

There isn’t any clear roadmap.
I read in some posts that plugin manager dynamic updates is priority

Hmm, we don’t know how your code looks in your Notepad, how it looks on GitHub, how it looks in your Notepad++ nor do we know how you expect it to look. And finally we don’t know which version of Notepad++ you use. How can we help without knowing anything?

Please provide your Notepad++ version info ((menu) ? -> Debug Info), some screenshots how your code looks in Notepad, GitHub and Notepad++ (you can paste images from your clipboard into your forum comments) and tell us what you expect how it should look.

Maybe will work in a next version?

He incorporated the change and closed the ticket yesterday (Nov 1). That means it cannot be in the version that was released on Oct 27. Since the change has been incorporated into the main codebase, the fix will be available in the next version, whenever that is released.

I have added Reverse Selections/Characters Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T to @dinkumoil’s and my Transpose script.

I have to intervene, this script is far from being even partially my script! The honor is due to @dkeenan7. Thank you again!

Thank you it was there ! YOUPI !

By default, Notepad++ comes with about 20 themes, many of which are “dark”. None of those themes affect the UI (window borders, menu bars, buttons, etc); they only affect the editor coloring.

If by theme you mean what Notepad++ means by theme, then you have plenty to choose from already, and you can modify any one of them using the Preferences > Style Configurator dialog to change the colors from the normals for that theme. If you want to affect the UI as well, that requires plugins.

Links to the official Docs:

Themes (overview) Style Configurator Info on stylers.xml and themes\[styleName].xml

I am receiving the same error: “It’s not a valid GUP xml”
Let us know when the server error is resolved.

Hey, this is old but I just now stumbled upon it. I am the author of this plugin.

As some of the posters above have figured out, the plugin does not attempt to follow PEP8. This is not because I have anything against PEP8, but simply I didn’t want to deal with that amount of parsing. I originally wrote this plugin to deal with the simple annoyance of having to tab every time I opened a new block. It applies a very simple heuristic of checking the start of the line for one of the keywords that open a new block in Python.

It can actually be tricked into doing the wrong thing in a number of other situations (fairly unlikely situations though), such as having a multi-line statement to open a block, or using one of those keywords at the start of a line in a multi-line string. These situations are sufficiently rare that I have never attempted to fix them. In the much more common case of line continuations (which OP is talking about), I simply manually align them with space.

If you want to get in touch with me about the plugin the best way is to open an issue on the Bitbucket page. I do not check these forums very often. I am also open to any code contributions if someone would like to tackle this.

Your examples don’t use “start sentences” like you said; they use surrounding. That’s actually easier:

User defined languages (UDL) are given an overview in the official docs here. And Ivan Radić has a in-depth description of the details of UDL in this semi-official UDL documentation.

@Alan-Kilborn Thanks - that helps

@Terry-Shaw ,

When diagnosing problems, it’s useful to provide information, such as Notepad++ version. This FAQ goes into more detail on that.

However, based on what you’ve said, you should see one or both of two things, depending on which version of Notepad++ you are using:

If the Notepad++ is recent enough, there should be a View > View Current File In… menu entry (as @Alan-Kilborn said). This is the way to launch certain web-related files (.html, .js, .xml) in your browser. They will be grayed out for other files (like .txt, .asp, .php). (This issue and the Pull Request it links to will get rid of that restriction, and all file types will be able to be launched in the browser, if the PR is ever incorporated.) Your Run menu should have Launch in ___ entries, because of what you reported seeing in your shortcuts.xml.

However, since you see that shortcuts.xml has those entries, but you don’t see it in your Run menu, there are two likely scenarios that would cause this:

you are looking at the wrong shortcuts.xml: if you have a normal installation, it will be in the location that @Prahlad-Makwana4145 described; however, if you have a portable installation, or if you disabled the %appdata%-storage during install, then it will be in the same directory as your notepad++.exe executable. If you provide us with the ? > Debug Info, like the FAQ requests, it will tell us which shortcuts.xml you should look at.

when looking at the shortcuts.xml file, there may have been <!-- and --> surrounding the Launch in ___ entries; if so, those entries are commented out, and Notepad++ will not know that they are there.

For example, all the versions I looked at (from v7.6.6 - v7.8.1) ship with shortcuts.xml containing:

<!-- The following shortcuts are dangerous if your computer is compromised. (But if your computer is compromised, EVERYTHING IS DANGEROUS!) Remove the comment and use them at your own risk!!! <Command name="Launch in Firefox" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="88">firefox &quot;$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command> <Command name="Launch in IE" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="73">iexplore &quot;$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command> <Command name="Launch in Chrome" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="82">chrome &quot;$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command> <Command name="Launch in Safari" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="65">safari &quot;$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command> <Command name="Send via Outlook" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="79">outlook /a &quot;$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command> -->

Because of the XML comment syntax, those entries will be disabled by default. If yours looks like that, just remove the <!-- line, the lines of plain text, and the --> line, leaving only the <Command ...> lines from that section. (Don’t change anything before or after the comment-section.) Then save. Then exit Notepad++ completely. Then re-run Notepad++. It should now be in your Run menu.

Also, for future reference, this issue has been talked about multiple times in the forum. Here, or any other help forum, it is considered polite to search for an issue before asking your question. Just searching for “launch in chrome” in the forum search (using the traditional magnifying-glass search icon in the forum) had 9 of the first 10 results which would have answered your question directly.

@Ekopalypse Thanks for looking this up. It makes more sense now. I now assigned some keyboard shortcuts to the binary copy and paste commands.
