@Claudia-Frank

Thank you!
It is very, very good news indeed.
I have installed the plugin and tested few simple things - it works!
I am so happy - the only bad thing that I did not start with NPP some years earlier.

record them first, then attempting hand-editing if they don’t work

When you record a macro, you need to save it (and name it) and then restart Notepad++. The action of quitting Notepad++ forces shortcuts.xml to be written if needed (like if you saved a recorded macro…or changed a shortcut mapping…). If you don’t do this, and open shortcuts.xml for editing, not only will you not see the macro you want to hand-edit, but Notepad++ will overwrite any changes you now make when it finally exits.

Hello, @alan-kilborn, @Scott-Sumner ans All,

Bravo, Scott ! Just for info : the case of the ending word, to look for, must be different from any of the forms which have to be avoided

For instance, let suppose all the cased versions of the five-letters word table, below :

table tablE tabLe tabLE taBle taBlE taBLe taBLE tAble tAblE tAbLe tAbLE tABle tABlE tABLe tABLE Table TablE TabLe TabLE TaBle TaBlE TaBLe TaBLE TAble TAblE TAbLe TAbLE TABle TABlE TABLe TABLE

Then the regex (?-i)(?!TABLE|Table|table)(?i)TablE would find all cased versions of table, except for TABLE, Table and table.

The regex to search for, in any case (?i)TablE is, of course, different from any of the 3 versions to avoid :-))

When the regex engine position is right before any cased version of the word table, the part (?-i)(?!TABLE|Table|table) just verifies that, at this position, the word, to be read, is different from, either, the forms TABLE, Table or table, in that exact case. That’s all -:))

@Meara-Elhediny

but I don’t know how to run it so that it works on a webpage

what does this mean? You can’t run it by executing menu Run->Launch … (one of the browsers).
Do you have one of those browsers installed? Or do you try to call it with a url containing something like localhost or hostname?

Cheers
Claudia

There was still no attempt to reinstall npp;
With the reinstallation at the beginning he solved the problem.
Thank you

nope, I have kept my previous editor aside, so I will be doing this task with that one,
shame that such popular editor as npp is, cannot accomplish that

I changed the shortcut for Launch in Firefox to Ctrl + F12. Click Run/Modify shortcut, the screen confirms the shortcut is in place and there are no conflicts. Click the cursor in an active NP++ HTML code page, do Ctrl+F12 and nothing happens.

Click Menu, Run/Launch in Firefox and launch occurs.

What am I missing?

Since you’re not using a webserver to serve your files, why not open the file directly in the browser?
Just drag and drop the html file into the browser window.
Refresh the page when you’re done editing the file in NPP.
CTRL+F5 force refreshes the page, omitting the caching behaviour of browsers.

NB: Pure HTML + CSS pages don’t need a webserver to serve the page as there’s nothing to pre/process on the server for these barebone html pages. All the rendering is done in the browser.

Thought of that - here is my next question. Is there script for that un-burdening me of the pain?

Thank you.

@Manish-Kumar
File/Recent files is where I would look first.

NPP normally opens them again if “Remember current session for next launch” is ticked in Settings/Preferences/Backup.
That is, if the file is accessible during NPP start. If not, the file(s) will not be opened.

@Wolfgang-Preikschat

not 100% but I assume that this is caused by the backup functionality.
So you either can increase the time to do backups or disable it all.
Settings->Preferences->Backup

Cheers

@Denislav-Dimitrov

Maybe you want one instance of Notepad++ per file? If so, change your shortcut or whatever you use to invoke Notepad++ to pass the -multInst parameter. That, with the addition of the hide-tabs configuration setting that has already been discussed, may achieve what you want.

@Jason-Low

It is a long-known issue that the “underlined key” mechanism in the Find family of windows is messed up. I’ve made it less of a problem I care about by reassigning a lot of the text in the Find windows to something “better” and I remap the keys in the process. This thread discusses how to do all of that if you are interested in doing something similar: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/11041/new-alt-shortcuts-in-the-find-dialog-for-default-english-language)

not sure what the developers are thinking
this is a well know issue
set the default location for both options under Settings/Preferences/Backup
better to switch to some other editor

@Vasil-Georgiev

2 pieces of advice:

Be sure you know what you are doing If you are confident of #1, use HxD editor, NOT Notepad++, to “change some things”

Hello, @shhlkien,

Claudia is right about it : your present version of the Monaco font cannot reproduce the glyph of the character ổ ( “LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND HOOK ABOVE”, of Unicode code-point 1ED5 )

This character is part of the Unicode Latin Extended Additional block, which describe 256 characters, from Unicode code-point 1E00 to Unicode code-point 1EFF. Refer to the link, below, to get the complete list of these characters

http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1E00.pdf

Now, I found out, a nice monospaced font, named Monaco for Powerline, with Euro sign and slashed zero, proposed by Daniel Shæfer ( alias epegzz ), which works on Windows configurations and, probably, on OSX ones ! You can download it from the link, below :

https://gist.github.com/epegzz/1634235/raw/4691e901750591f9cab0b4ae8b7c0731ebf28cce/Monaco_Linux-Powerline.ttf

Consult, also, the page :

https://gist.github.com/epegzz/

Once this font installed, on your operating system, your text chào buổi sáng should be correctly displayed :-))

Only 10 characters, ( from 1E9C to 1E9F and from 1EFA to 1EFF ), out of the 256 characters, of the Latin Extended Additional block, do not have any glyph, with the Monaco for Powerline font. These are, principally, some medieval characters + the Latin Capital German letter Sharp S, of code 1E9E

Hope this post will help you !

BTW, an issue was created for what I was just talking describing:
#3640 – Backward-direction checkbox enabled with Reg Exp search mode (at N++ startup)

…but discussion on it kind of got tied up with this issue:
#3533 – <<Find" (Find Previous) button is disabled for “Regular expression” search

…and sadly, none of this has gotten any attention to this point.
