@PeterJones
Thanks Peter!

@Wisely-Shih

not 100% sure I understand what you are trying to achieve but …
could it be that you are referring to the fact the MS notepad uses a tab width of 8
whereas npp uses 4?
If so, goto settings->preferences->language and set the tab size accordingly.

@Lehlogonolo-Frank

You need to be more descriptive.
If you used a command and it doesn’t work you need to provide the error message
you got in order for one to find out what the issue could be.

How exactly did you setup python and how do you want it to be used?

Perhaps you could guide me on installing flask via pip install

pip install flask but only if you want it to be installed for the main python installation
if you want it to have in an env you need to activate it first and then run the
command within this virtual environment.

Thank you all. Your suggestion were helpful.

QuickEdit is a native Android app that already has:

Physical keyboard support, including key combinations.

There’s also an active XDA thread.

I suspect 1 will be easier than 2:

Android app —> Android desktop Notepad++ —> Android

@Matt-Adams

Monitor (tail -f) prompts to reload file

Try a different tool (some users are using glogg or TailSharp).

@Tair-Tairoff

You can certainly make your feature request here. Please do it in English.

A kludgy fix is to make the theme XML files read-only and add new keywords directly to langs.xml, using a different text editor. (My langs.xml was pretty old, so I grabbed langs.model.xml from the latest portable version.)

@Tim-Davidge

If you want your FR to be seen you should do it here.

I guess I’d warn you that change doesn’t come easy for these types of things. Oodles of N++ users are used to things the way they are.

status bar to reflect the status of both NUMLOCK and CAPSLOCK

Can’t you look to your keyboard for that?

Never mind. I somehow was able to re-attach vertically.

Ah, it appears you updated to a recent version (hopefully v7.7.1) from a really old version (v7.5.9 or earlier), and didn’t realize that the plugins hierarchy was changed.

Aha! I believe you are correct. Thanks for the tip, Peter. I will do some cleanup.

Thank you very much!

Try it

It works; apologies for the mistake.

@Mahmoud-Mohammed ,

Your existing session (ie, already opened files) should have been saved in %AppData%\Notepad++\session.xml, and when you upgraded to v7.7.1, it should have kept the existing session.xml. And the list of recently-used files should have been kept and automatically used from %AppData%\Notepad++\config.xml.

If that didn’t happen, either you had a non-standard installation of your old version, or did a non-standard installation of the new version (or both). Or maybe you did a complete uninstall without saving the %AppData%…

Other than that, I’m not sure what could have gone wrong to overwrite your session.xml and/or config.cml

If both are non-standard, you might be able to recover: if they were both local/portable/zip instead of “installed”, then you just have to browse to the old-unzipped-directory, grab those two files, and paste them into the new-unzipped-directory.

Unfortunately, if you overwrote the only session.xml and/or config.xml files, then those lists are gone (unless you have backup software that’s running and that backs up your %AppData% hierarchy).

If you’re talking about “what happened to my files that I had left open-and-unsaved”, those temporary files are stored in %AppData%\Notepad++\backup\ for normal installation, in <unzip-dir>\backup\ for local/portable/zip, and in the directory indicated by Settings > Preferences > Backup > Backup Path if that setting had been changed.

If none of those help, the files are likely gone. Sorry. There are data-recovery programs out there (I’ve heard tell of recuva, or some such, but cannot vouch for its safety or effectiveness). Unfortunately, as with any application, the onus is on the user to make sure that all files are properly saved in known locations, and that backups happen often enough that no critical data is lost. Applications can help you, but in the end, your data integrity is your own responsibility.

Greetings Alan:
I would prefer not to have a “tweak”. I would rather it be built in. Guess I was just wanting a feature add.

This fixed it for me.

It’s been bugging me for years. Ten minutes with regedit made notepad++ appear as an option in “Open with->Choose default program”.

@Syed-Abdul-Zuber ,

Alan is right. The solution of @gurikbal-singh did not solve my problem.

Understood. Did you try what @Ekopalypse suggested?

If you want to use multiple npp instances with different files you need to store each of them as unique sessions.

In case you are unsure how to do that: in each instance of Notepad++, once you have each set up the way you want, you can do a File > Save Session. When you re-open the multiple Notepad++ instances, in each instance you can go to File > Load Session and load the appropriate session for that instance.

If you follow the advice in this post, you can actually set up the file extension .nxml to be a Notepad++ Session file, so you can just use Windows Explorer and double-click on the session file, and it will open your session. However, you’ll want to change step 9 to (Default) = "%ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" -multiInst -openSession "%1" %* (i.e., add the -multiInst option to the command listed in the other post), so that each .nxml session will open in a separate Notepad++ instance.

Thank you so much @guy038

You Genius!! in this field…

Thanks

Some remarks:

use “proper” double quotes i.e. ASCII \x22 only; rename funcNameExpr to nameExpr (funcNameExpr-node is only used when the function/functionName-node is part of a classRange-node). remove displayMode="$functionName", it isn’t used anyway

Thanks @dinkumoil. I hadn’t tried setting NPP into admin mode. When I did, not only would it allow me to set my proxy data, it then allowed me to install all of my plug-ins too. Problem solved – thank you very much!

Best regards,
Chris Loschen
