2 pieces of advice:

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.

I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think so. It’s been a while since I did automated installation for npp.
If the newer versions are still behaving the same then you might need to create links (hard-/soft-/junctions …) to achieve what you are looking for.

@ThosRTanner

did you see this?
Although not sure if this is related to your problem.
I’m not a java developer but as far as I understand jslint and jshint are tools for code quality assurance.
If so, you might be able to run the newer versions with nppexec plugin.

Isn’t that a browser problem?
I’m sure NPP can ‘read’ any file but the parsing is done in a web browser.
Or maybe I misunderstand your problem.

it works on any similar regex engine eg php functions like preg_match_all()

but you have to make sure to escape all characters that would be interpreted as a regex pattern part instead of a character you are searching for

eg: if you use / as a regex start and end delimiter character, you have to write \/ for every slash you want to find to make regex search for the character /

so /s/[0-9]+/1/ in a php example where you use / as regex start-end delimiters it has to be rewritten to:

or you can use a different delimiter character:

then if you search for the physical character # you’ll have to write \#

As I mentioned in another thread, my registry associates .txt with the HKCR\txtfile key; yours may be different: you can look in HKCR\.txt to determine the right association for your machine. Assuming my setup:

You’ll notice the three keys “open”, “print”, and “printto”: mine does not have an “edit” key. So if they are really using the hardcoded “edit” key, rather than the default action (listed here as HKCR\txtfile\shell:(Default)=open), then it’s a poor choice on their part, because there is no guarantee that the “edit” key exists for a given association on a given machine.

!!WARNING!! What I am about to explain involves editing the registry. This has associated risk, and should only be followed if you understand everything said, and are willing to take all responsibility for any change in behavior that occurs in your system. I make no guarantee or waranty regarding the effectiveness or safety of the following. (If your computer stops working, or doesn’t work the way you want it to, it’s not my fault.) Use at your own risk.

You may be able to work around their choice. Right click on shell, select New Key = edit. Right click on edit, select New Key = command. Left click on open > command, double click on (Default), and copy the path to NPP (if your default isn’t “open”, but some other key, then use the command from that key, instead); left click on edit > command, double click on (Default), and paste the path to NPP. Exit the registry editor. (Some people say that they need to reboot, or at least log out and back in, or perform other similar actions to make sure the registry has fully updated… but my guess is just closing the registry editor and closing/reopening the third-party program will be sufficient.) In general, this should create the new “edit” action, which will execute the same command that the “open” action executes.

It was before and i haven’t un-ticked it. No idea how it got un-ticked.

Anyway, thanks a lot for this. I really needed it sorted.
Have a great day!

To be clearer, I start my learning today so there’s not much about an editor that I would assume.

Not finding a reset or specific HTML setting I checked off options that seemed to be applicable. I did set tag completion.

I added a reloader extension.

Thanks for the tips–appreciated.

Thanks for the tips.

@Question2

yes, I can edit xml without a problem.
By disabling plugins I mean rename the …\notepad++\plugins directory so it cannot
find any plugins. Depending on your configuration it is either the one under %APPDATA%\notepad++ or the one under INSTALLDIR\notepad++.

@Duncan-Fraser

yes, unfortunately a known issue and has been reported already but doesn’t have high priority.
One user mentioned that this happens only if Settings->Preferences->Misc->Minimize to system tray is checked - maybe you wanna give it a try.
