@James-Gale Well, I do it by setting a bookmark at where I want to come back to… ctrl+F2 (set bookmark) move away an arbitrary distance… shift+F2 (bring me back) ctrl+F2 (remove bookmark) If this or ANY posting on the Notepad++ Community is helpful to you, don’t hit reply and say only “thanks”–because this will look like “new mail” to all Community members. Just up-vote and only the poster will be notified–simply click on the little up-arrow in the upper-right of the posting you like: [image: eV4a2Vj.jpg]

@Ambra-Frakulla what are you looking for? Cheers Claudia

@William-Lowery Notepad++ itself can tell you something about it. If you open Edit (menu) -> Character Panel you will see: [image: 9Bg4g8Y.jpg] And here is some more info to help you with “FS”: http://www.theasciicode.com.ar/ascii-control-characters/file-separator-ascii-code-28.html If this (or ANY posting on the Notepad++ Community site) is useful, don’t reply with a “thanks”, simply up-vote ( click the ^ in the ^ 0 v area on the right ).

Hello, What versions of Notepad++ and Compare plugin are you using? Do you use multi-line tab bar or all your open files tabs are in a single row? BR

Thanks :) Best solution!

Downgraded to 7.3.3. (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.3.3.html) and it works great. Looks like 7.5.1 something was wrong.

The problem seems to appear only with 64-bit version of Notepad++. I changed to 32-bit version and it works fine.

@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.

@Scott-Sumner said: 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 -:)) Cheers, guy038

@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

@MarkInEvergreen said: 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.
