    Thanks for the response! So I have a 4k screen and the scaling isn’t great so I changed it to “override High DPI scaling.” And this caused the issue. Very weird.

    I did find an Encoding option for it, but it’s buried where you wouldn’t expect! Encoding > Character Sets > Cyrillic > Macintosh Presto, all the Õ symbols become ’ symbols the way they were typed on the Mac!

    This is an html question, not a Notepad++ question. This should be asked in an html forum, not here. Now, do you promise to only ask NPP questions here? OK, great. Caption tags go immediately after the table tag, not in the head. I don’t think that broke anything, but pop it up a line anyway. I’ve found floats to be irritating and unpredictable so that’s not the first place I go for layout. body {background-color: skyblue;} table.infobox { border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-spacing: 3px; margin-bottom: 6.16667px; margin-top: 6.16667px; margin-left: 12.3167px; margin-right: 0px; padding: 2.46667px; display:inline-block; } td {text-align: center} p {width:200px; display:inline-block; vertical-align: top; } There may be better ways to do this, but I think it does what you asked for. Robin should pull his pants up a tiny bit.

    @Alex-Roberts What kind of files are modified? Are plugins installed which may interfere ? Is a lexer, syntax highlighting active? Do you search/replace unicode text? Is this reproducible always? If yes, can you share the file? Cheers Claudia

    I got this same error, I marked Notepad++ to run as “Administrator” when I right click on a text file and select “Open in Notepad++”, I get this same error. When I try to save files, I get following message and have to click “Yes” so I can save file. “The File cannot be saved and it may be protected. Do you want to launch Notepad++ in Admin mode?” Would be nice to be able to setup the EXE to run as administrator and not have to worry or deal with the modal when trying to save.

    @Matt-Storr sorry, but I don’t understand what you are doing. Does it mean you double click or open an attachment in your mail application like thunderbird/outlook and then npp starts and shows the content of the attachment? Now you use xml tools for reformatting and try to save it? But without reattaching it, it wouldn’t update in the mail. Cheers Claudia

    @iamtestplay I don’t believe this is possible…without scripting. With scripting (e.g. Pythonscript plugin), however, it is fairly straightforward–for the simplistic case of ASCII and not Unicode–if you don’t mind part of the statusbar being utilized for the display: [image: Gdn6DJA.png] Script: def callback_sci_UPDATEUI(args): c = editor.getCharAt(editor.getCurrentPos()) try: info = "HEX:{0:02X} DEC:{0} '{1}'".format(c, chr(c) if c not in [13, 10, 0] else 'LINE-ENDING' if c != 0 else 'END-OF-FILE') except ValueError: info = "HEX:?? DEC:?" notepad.setStatusBar(STATUSBARSECTION.DOCTYPE, info) editor.callback(callback_sci_UPDATEUI, [SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.UPDATEUI])

    Many thanks - it worked once I went to the other thread you referenced (about the .ss files) and saw the note to clear the recent files list. I had already edited my langs.xml and stylers.xml files with NotePad++ but checked them with MicroSoft’s NotePad anyway just to make sure my changes had stuck when I exited NP++.

    @Joey-de-Keizer FWIW, if I wanted to insert a blank column(s) throughout a range (especially a large range) of lines–without relying on the tab settings in effect, here’s what I’d do: move the caret to the first position of the first line to affect invoke Edit (menu) -> Begin/End Select (sadly, this useful feature has no default shortcut key!) move the caret to the first position of the last line to affect press Shift+Alt+RightArrow press Shift+Alt+LeftArrow invoke Edit (menu) -> Begin/End Select again This should get you a “thin caret” in front of the first column over the span of lines. From there it is easy to insert spaces on each and every line by pressing the spacebar the appropriate number of times. Of course, if you range is small, then simply: move the caret to the first position of the first line to affect press Shift+Alt+DownArrow repeatedly to define the “thin caret” over the desired line range.

    Thank you. This helped me a lot. I created a LESS XML file from my CSS XML file and now auto-completion for LESS is working. I will use this method in the future to add new words for auto-completion for my other languages, for example my CSS lacks CSS3 tags. Thanks for help.

    @Mike214 this is a switch which is used in combination with npp startup. notepad++.exe -noPlugin What it does is that it doesn’t load any plugin to be sure that the issue is caused by npp instead of a misbehaving plugin. What you can do instead of using the switch is to temporarily rename the plugin folder and then start npp. But from your last comment Once it happens again I will find something to use. I get that this doesn’t happen always but from time to time. Is this the case? If so, you should describe in detail what you did, what you expected to be happen and what happened instead. As already said, a screenshot or a document which shows the behavior would make it a lot easier to find out the root of the problem. Cheers Claudia

    @Dave-Manning Sorry, was pretty confident that it is %APPDATA%\notepad++, but could be that my memory plays a trick on me. It’s been a while since I’ve used windows. As far as I know, no, npp doesn’t save this in the registry instead it uses different config files. The one in question is config.xml. And the line is <History nbMaxFile="10" inSubMenu="no" customLength="-1"> From your debug-info output it should be the one under %APPDATA% as the Local Conf mode is OFF but just to be sure, check the one under C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++ as well. Cheers Claudia

    I have two ideas: Is it the character or the keyboard shortcut that’s having the problem? Try assigning the AutoHotKey sequence to something different for the ZWNJ insertion, and see if that helps. Alternately: in my Settings > Shortcut Mapper, I see that Main Menu: #58: Function Completion is assigned to that key sequence; yours may be a different number, but you could try to select Function Completion and CLEAR its shortcut, and then try doing the Ctrl+Space shortcut again. If AHK cannot seem to insert it, even after playing with shortcuts, you might want a PythonScript solution. create a short script, and save it in the appropriate directory for PythonScripts (in a <executable directory>\plugins\PythonScript\scripts for Machine Scripts, or in %AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\scripts for User Scripts) editor.addText( u’\u200c’ ) assign it as a menu item using Plugins > Python Script > Configuration, selecting the appropriate Machine or User scripts, clicking ADD assign it a shortcut via Settings > Shortcut Mapper > Plugin Commands (I verified the PythonScript version worked, though I had to use the PythonScript console to run editor.setRepresentation(u'\u200C', "ZWNJ") to confirm it had really inserted the right character, and editor.clearRepresentation(u'\u200C') once I knew it was really there.)
