No, sorry.

If the “(” is already present, then if you have the cursor somewhere inside the “(…)”, you can press Ctrl-Alt-Spacebar to bring up the function completion help window (if there is an entry in the XML for that function).

please see here.

Thank you Peter!

… see that NPP re-interprets what’s there. But I doubt that’s what you want.

Exactly ;-)

What you’ve said about the PythonScript sounds good, but , sorry, too complicated for me. I’m not an IT-Expert, just a slightly advanced user… If there is no readymade plug-in/add-on available it’s probably much easier to pay the money for Edit Pad Pro.

@guy038

Thank you too, but I’m aware of that

Kind regards,

I don’t understand your description but one way to lose the UNDO history is when file is updated by external app and NPP reloads it.

Hi Vijay,

that’s what i feared.
As AdrianHHH already pointed out (btw. thanks for jumping in) Excel is producing
this message. The reason is simple, when you have a normal Excel file the file
contants formatting informations as well as the text which you see in Excel.
When converting this format to csv all the formatting stuff gets deleted because
a csv is a plain text file format.
So you have to decide either using the Excel format, but then you cannot
edit it by notepad++ safely or converting to csv and loosing all formatted stuff.

Cheers
Claudia

I’m not sure if this is what you mean by “UAC” or not, but what I experienced was a pop-up upon running the notepad++ executable that said something like this: “…is an application downloaded from the internet…are you sure you want to run it?” That’s not very accurate as it has been a long time since I saw the message…

What worked for me to get rid of it was downloading the portable install archive file to a USB flash drive and then unzipping it from there to the desired location. I’m not sure of the technical details, but I believe the hard drive file system format used by most Windows installations has extra fields for keeping track of “important” details like that so it can warn/bother you. :-)

USB flash memory drives typically don’t have those “extra fields”, so the OS really doesn’t know where a file came from, thus it doesn’t bother you about it when you run the file.

If this isn’t what you meant by UAC, please ignore my ramblings…or maybe this will help someone else…

Escape would be of little help since ctrl-esc opens Windows’ start menu. It would work in Linux over wine however.
I think that sorting is a bad idea. You have to keep pressing ctrl while navigating with the mouse. It sounds cumbersome and I prefer task switcher to be very light.
I do recommend NavigateTo plugin for finding files by name.

Another issue is that task switcher should close when losing focus. Currently if you click on another window it remains open.

If you want, here is a patch for closing task switcher on ctrl-esc or ctrl-~.
Here are compiled binaries.

Perfect, thank you!

@Roman-Revell,

Although, now there is just one long menu instead of the multi-tiered menu, which is fine.
