Thank you!
Indeed, sending SCI_SETCARETLINEVISIBLEALWAYS with wParam=TRUE to this Scintilla window makes the line background colour to remain even after losing the focus.

See here for the first and there for the second.

Maybe you want to take a look at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/universalindent/files/uigui/UniversalIndentGUI_1.0.2/UniversalIndentGUI_1.0.2_NotepadPPplugin.zip/download
or

@Chris-Gaelic, looks like you got that sorted, but just FYI, there’s a plugin called “ColdFusion Lexer” that does syntax highlighting and also adds some minor things like “wrap in CFdump”, and “wrap in CFComment”.

If you spent a lot of time looking without finding, then I feel sorry for you…

I fixed it. I just commented those lines out. Thanks :)

@Jake-Macklin

current version comes with the DSpellCheck plugin installed.
Check the manual to see if it can do what you need.

@Javier-Diaz-de-Rabago

this is not really a notepad++ question I guess, because npp,
as well as any other text editor on the planet
doesn’t care about what kind of python libraries you use.
There must be something wrong in your run configuration
if the same code runs under IDLE but don’t run if executed,
by whatever way you chose to execute, via npp.

Thank you this worked :D

@Luis-Santos

Is it possible to open a feature request

This will tell you have to make a feature request: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/15741/faq-desk-feature-request

@Claudia-Frank
Great, thank you!
The post from @scott-sumner helped me to assign shortcut to the script
(https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/14703/run-python-script-pythonscript-plugin-with-a-shortcut)…

@Giliann-Sauret

no, ((EOL)) is the only special variable you could use together with UDL.

There seem to be a difference in OS as well because I went through all of the installed
fonts on my linux and none of them behave like described. I always see a consistent behavior regardless whether the 〕is used in front or not.
For example the font DejaVu Sans Mono on linux show only the rectangles.

@Scott-Sumner

sorry - seems I totally misunderstood what OP was asking for.
I thought OP wants to jump back to the original (starting) position,
not to the last position which was ok to be replaced. And now I’m thinking that
this jump (to where the action started) wasn’t possible before at all.

@Ravi-Ponna

could it be that you try to save the file with saveas instead of save?

@Kevin-Morris

Has anyone else noticed this?

Not me, could it be that you are using a plugin which is locking the clipboard?
If not, could you describe a reproducible scenario when this happens?
