@Peter-Brand Settings->Preferences->Language and there you can disable the lexers you don’t need. Cheers Claudia

Thank you! That took care of it.

@ZS-Leo in the same way that MS Word 2016 allows? No,afaik not. is there a suggestions or request area for Notepad++ Yes, see what @peterjones wrote here. Cheers Claudia

Something happened and this issue disappeared. I am sorry to report that I cannot identify what I did to cause reversion to expected behavior. Ah well.

@Chad-Briggs is there an easy way to select an entire tag if your at the start of a long one? So if I have a <name> tag in the XML doc, can i select that first name tag/bracket and use a shortcut to highlight down to the closing bracket? Plugin HTML Tag has such a functionality which works with xml as well. If a tag is collapsed, is there a way to select all of the tags contents while it’s collapsed for copy/pasting? put cursor in front of the tag, press shift, hold it and press down arrow key and maybe while still holding shift key press home(pos1) key. If i have a xml document collapsed in the view, is there an easy way for me to drag and drop rearrange? Once selected liked described before you could use the mouse and move it around but to be honest, I find this a little bit cumbersome. Cheers Claudia

Hey Claudia, Thank you so much, it works now :). I feel like a complete hackerman now haha :). Have a lovely day. Regards, David

@Rodney-Ramsay The licensing refers to the program itself, and has nothing to do with what you create using the program. You only need to worry if you write a program to sell (or give away) that uses part of the Notepad++ source code.

@SalviaSage 1 +2 give it a try and see. A session is basically a shortcut for opening a lot of files in one go. The “eye” is just another way of monitoring, it tries to simulate the unix tail command. If you have API files (the once you see under plugins\APIs) notepad can offer assistance in showing you a list of possible words you want to add Cheers Claudia

@Zach-Schultz might be an issue that your font is broken/corrupt. What if you choose a different one? Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles->Global override check enable global font and try one of the fonts in the font style dropdown list. In addition, some notebooks offer additional function keys, might it be that you activated this accidentally? Cheers Claudia

@이동건 not 100% sure I understand your issue but maybe it is related to the new style settings. Settings->Preferences->Default Directory and then the setting Use new style dialog … Cheers Claudia

@Sun-Yuan depending where you installed it you need to modify the call, basically you start wine and provide notepad.exe as the parameter to be executed by wine. So something like this /usr/bin/wine /disc2/home/chalet/.wine/drive_c/programs/x64/newest/notepad++.exe Cheers Claudia

@Frederick-Solebo Yes, very possible with the use of Regular expression search as follows: Find what zone: (?-is)sky.+blue Search mode: Regular expression You should be able to deduce what the .+ does. The (?-is) at the beginning indicates 2 things: case of sky and blue must match exactly (the -i part) the . will NOT match end-of-line characters (the s part, but note that the - from earlier effectively makes this -s) Probably this is confusing, so a better explanation is that the i stands for (case) insensitive, so -i means NOT case insensitive, or rather case sensitive (meaning case must be exact for a match to occur) A better explanation for the s part: (?s) means that any . characters occurring will match one character of any type (including end-of-line characters). (?-s) means that any . characters occurring will match one character of any type EXCEPT it won’t match the end of line characters (carriage return, line feed).

Hello, Anton, and All, If you want to run your buggy macro, Nth times, be sure that : The cursor is located at the very beginning of the first line val:descr A physical line-break ( CR+LF or LF ) exists at the end of the nth line As for me, I did not notice that issue ! Even, holding down the 3 keys of the assigned shortcut ( Ctrl + Shift + = ), the macro changes each line, one after another, without any trouble ;-) Here is, below, my code of the buggy macro, with N++ v7.5.6, on an ( old ! ) Win XP SP3 system <Macro name="buggy" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="no" Key="187"> <Action type="0" message="2442" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="0" message="2177" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="0" message="2180" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="0" message="2451" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=" " /> <Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="=" /> <Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam=" " /> <Action type="0" message="2179" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="1" message="2170" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="," /> <Action type="0" message="2300" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> <Action type="0" message="2453" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" /> </Macro> A second and faster solution could be to execute a Search/Replacement, with the the litteral strings, in normal search mode, on all text of a previous selection. So : First, select your block of val:descr lines Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H ) Find what : val:descr Replace with: descr = val, Tick the In selection option Select the Normal search mode Click on the Replace All button Voilà ! Best Regards, guy038

@T-C Again, what you are trying to achieve is vague. You’re not going to get the best help that way (and you may even get down-voted again). So…first you wanted to delete text, now you want to mark text…which is it? You can match a number that is different every time by using \d+ in the expression where the number occurs.
