@bisdavid If all that is done is to “automatically highlight any such characters whenever I open”, aren’t you still going to have to “search”…because what if said characters aren’t in the current viewable area; you won’t know if a file contains any “bad” characters or not?

@Installer

splendid, at least you’ve got it working with the /D switch.

there must be still a residue either at the registry installer information, or file based left overs, maybe on D:\Notepad++, but it shouldn’t be any problem, if you don’t have the time to keep on searching, as the next update or silent install will use the new installer path, unless you uninstall notepad++ first.

best regards.

welcome to the notepad++ community, @מוטי-דר.

unfortunately rtl languages, especially mixed rtl text in ltr view, are still a big problem for the scintilla editor component notepad++ is using.

we can not do anything about that at the notepad++ part, as scintilla is a completely independent project.

if you like, you can browse scintilla feature requests and bugs here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/

many thanks and best regards.

@Ekopalypse : Yes, this was the solution, Now the Workspace windows is pop up again.
Many many thanks Ekopalypse.

how should a program know this beforehand

I’m not following this thread super-closely because in my now 3 decades of software development, the coding standard has been to never allow the use of actual tab characters in source files. But I would think it should replicate the indentation exactly of the line-above, but let the user then edit that and leave it the way the user changes it…but I am too dumb about it to continue talking… :)

Thank you very much!

@WestJc

The NewDocDefaultSettings is an XML node in <Npp-install-dir>\config.model.xml respectively %APPDATA%\Notepad++\config.xml but it’s for configuring EOL format, character encoding and default (programming) language for new files, thus it is not suitable for what you want to achieve.

But you could try the NewFileBrowser plugin. It provides the ability to define templates for two programming languages which can be assigned to a keyboard shortcut.

Note: The plugin is only available as 32 bit version. You can install it via PluginManager (up to Notepad++ v7.5.9) or via PluginsAdmin (Notepad++ v7.6 and above).

@EdoCarbone

No, UDL isn’t good in this case. Depending on your exact needs you might get reasonable results by using marking feature or by using a scripting plugin like pythonscript, luascript etc…

You had me at “quibble”.

Hello @PeterJones ,

Thank you for your welcome as well as your fast and prompt reply. Your solution worked perfect.

I wanted to remove all text starting from 175.19.61.11 up to and including SyslogWorker - but when 175.19.61.11 is on 17th digit and not in the beginning or anywhere else in the text. I didn’t know actually how to include a line in my Find.

What i used was: 175.19.61.11.*?SyslogWorker which did not include the check of characters position on the line. Now with your Find it worked fine.

P.S.This is my first post on this forum so i didn’t notice the use of Markdown so for further posts i will follow these tips :)

@Jim-Dailey

you’ve just made my day, with style ;-)

@Francisco-Pataro , welcome to the Community.

Thanks for providing the debug info.

Unfortunately, I cannot replicate your problem. Line wrap works just fine for me, in either 7.6.6 64-bit

or 7.6.6 32-bit

Is there something more you can give us, that will help us understand what’s going wrong for you?

Awesome. thank you!

In the README file, I cannot understand what exactly needs to be done with this public key.

Thank you for your attention @Meta-Chuh
